Error : "There appears to be playback issue", or the film stops while playing
If the “player” button doesn’t work, it means that you’re not in the country access area.
Player bugs can happen for several reasons
– compatibility with your device / browser
– loading time is too long (your network is not good)
– Latency time on the page (you left the film page open too long before coming back to play the film)
1. First and foremost, start by recharging your page (close and open your browser).
2. Empty the cache (find in the parameters of your browser)
3. If it doesn’t work, log out and log in to your OAFF account.
4. if you get the message “There appears to be playback issue” try the steps 1 to 3.
5. If you can’t watch them, it may also be due to a compatiblility problem about the platform on your browser, or the device your are using.
6. If the “player” button doesn’t work, you might not be in a zone available for the platform. The OAFF 2019 is available worldwide. You should not be experiencing this issue, however it can happen in some specific cases.
7. If you still have a problem after these steps, go to “report a technical problem“
