Two videos show this: This video file cannot be played. (Error Code: 224003)

@chad_bolling​ I saw it on a lot more videos recently. I don't watch videos on imdb much but lately whenever I tried to watch something, there was error.

@mbmb​ It's probably your ad blocker if happens to most videos.

@chad_bolling​ No it should be from imdb side, I remember seeing other messages complaining about videos not playing recently.

And now I checked Firefox's error messages while trying to play it and there is this: The certificate for imdb-video-wab.media-imdb.com expired on 12/21/2021.

And I started to have problems with videos around that time. It looks like they forgot to renew their certificates.

@mbmb​ Just tried a couple obscure videos on imdb; they don't work! all the big budget movies have videos that work. must be a money thing.

@chad_bolling​ Yeah I just tried a popular movie, Zack Snyder's Justice League and it worked, because it loaded the video from this domain: imdb-video.media-imdb.com

which has a non-expired certificate (although it expires on 27 May 2022 if they forget to renew that too)

So apparently it's an issue of them forgetting to renew the certificate for one of the servers. It will likely be fixed shortly after they see this thread.
