I mainly used this extension for sites other than YouTube, and it used to work quite well. However, for the past two months or so, it has completely stopped working for me on other sites and only works with YouTube. I always encounter this error with PotPlayer.⬇️ -Failed to start playback -Unable to connect to the requested server. -Check that the URL is correct and the server is running -Check that you're connected to the net and PP isn't blocked by a firewall P.s I use Brave, I tried FireFox but same issue :/ Lets see if PotPlayer is willing to help us out with an update..
