This issue occurs in Safari Technology Preview 242. It does not occur in Safari 26.4. It may be new to STP 242, but I'm not certain. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open https://www.espn.com in a new private window in Safari Technology Preview 242 2) Click to play a video in the timeline Expected results: The video advertisement plays all the way through. Actual results: The video advertisement freezes shortly after starting. The ESPN ad counter still advances. This happens for me 100% of the time in STP 242.

Thank you for the report, I can reproduce as described. Works fine with macOS 26.5 beta, broken in STP 242.
