Can confirm this is still happening.

Version 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7)
MacBook Pro (macOS Monterey 12.6.1 build 21G217)

Some videos work whilst some don't on Netflix. Error codes give absolutely 0 useful information.

    B4ND1T We still have no idea why is this happening as netflix provides zero useful information as you point out. Also it is not simple to reproduce it, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

    When someone figures this out we will be able to fix it.

        Hi yes I hope someone knows something ! And there will be a fix

            Merged 5 posts from Netflix doesn't work as expect .

              It's worth noting that it's not just Netflix I'm having trouble with. HBO Max doesn't work either. I just get a black screen or an endless loading screen. It's not just a Netflix issue.

              For me the HD videos play while the 4k movies with Dolby Vision just have a black screen.It could be that the problem lays somewhere there since only Safari as a browser offers 4k on Macs.Now on HBO Max it just keeps buffering.

              From my observation

              • Some titles (mostly 4K) are not playable from the beginning (got black screen then error).
              • Some titles (mostly HD likes anime) are playable if start from the beginning but after skipping on playback it becomes black screen (but with audio) then show error after.

              All error I got is S7353-5101. Yes, it is not useful at all because Netflix doesn't provide any detail. 🙁

              Any chance there is a way to switch to a Vanilla Safari experience with nothing extra just for one tab or website or is that Compatibility mode?

                Our new release which uses newer WebKit doe snot appear to have the issue anymore so lets see!

                Vlad I meant like in Orion, because everything works fine in the other browsers I have used.

                    In Version 0.99.122.4-rc (WebKit 615.1.16.1) Netflix works fine with compatibility mode on. It didn't work on earlier releases.. This was a real important problem for me, but if it solved so I'll use Orion as my default browser..

                      I'm on macOS 13.1 (using a M1 chip), using Orion Version 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7) and just got the same problem while trying to stream Arrested Development on Netflix. Nothing I did seemed to solve the issue until I finally gave up and used Safari instead. What's interesting though, is that after starting the stream in Safari, it just magically started working in Orion.

                        hovsater It's supposed to be fixed in 0.99.122.4-rc so guess we'll see if it does in the next release 👀

                          Tried in RC and can confirm it works now. Cheers for looking into this @Vlad 👍
