Off topic, Site issue

Anyone else finding the HN TV videos of player interviews and coach interviews unwatchable? I play the video and it runs ad after ad. It plays the video for 3 to 5 seconds and then runs another ad. It ran 7 ads vs 30 seconds of Stanley speaking. I understand the need for ads to generate revenue, but this is quite frustrating. The cherry on top is they are mostly political ads. Barf!

Watched the David Bell highlights and had no problem. Then tried to watch his interview, and the exact issue you’ve described happened.

Yeah same here. I stopped trying to watch em…

This happened for me on my iPad, where I don’t have an ad blocker.

I had that issue as well with the David Bell highlights. There is probably a work around, but not worth it to try to find one.

I'm fairly certain that it is a glitch with the Connatix video platform. Maybe you or John could reach out to their support team.

Just watch porn instead of Hawkeye interviews. Won't have any problems there.

We addressed this issue with them earlier in the process but will run it by them again.

I didn't know it was a recurring issue. I had never had problems before. Thanks for touching base. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

We had the issue when we first moved to this platform. We thought we cleaned it up but may still have a glitch in there.

Had the same problem when I tried to watch through Rob's link on the Football Forum, but had no problem when I watched it directly off the home page. Don't know why.

I've had issues with this site on my phone (android) but downloaded a browser called brave that blocks ads and website trackers. Its been flawless ever since.

I just watched 2 HN TV videos mentioned above on my laptop using chrome and they worked just fine.

I use UC browser for my android. The glitch is happening on a fully customized web browser so I am pretty sure it is internal. Connatix was designed for site devs so I'm sure it was primarily focused on traditional PC browsing. Sometimes the code conversion for mobile browsing causes unintended code loop. I would imagine this issue only exists on mobiles. If it were happening on PC browsing then it would be an internal coding flaw and they would be working furiously on a patch.
