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?

    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 👍

                    I get the same errors listed above. Looks like it wasnt fixed yet.

                      Just to +1 that I'm experience media play back errors in Netflix, HBO and Disney+

                        benderrod Did you try the compatibility mode for Netflix? Or the other sites? It works for me in Version 0.99.122.5-rc (WebKit 615.1.16.1) on MacBook Pro on Ventura 13.2 Beta (22D5038i)

                            CenkTekin I have version Version 0.99.122-beta with Ventura 13.1. I am running these sites in compatibility mode (I think i've always run them in that mode to avoid issues)

                            I forgot to mention this definitely started after I upgraded to Ventura, unrelated to an update in Orion so most likely a webkit issue

                                benderrod This is confirmed fixed in the latest RC, so just wait for the new beta to come out 🙂
