CTV's new video player sucks

What is going on with CTV's somewhat new videoplayer on their local news sites? It will not play any newscasts or clips.

Can someone please help me out? CTV Will not respond to my question.

Weird... I was able to play the clip of the microwave tower demolition no problem in Chrome on my Mac with uBlock Origin.

I didn't have any issues with it either. Do you by any chance have a program like Disable HTML Autoplay that might be blocking it from running? I use that to stop videos from playing when I don't want them to and sometimes I forget it's there.

It's working now I had to delete the ad block extension from my Google Chrome Browser. Maybe Ad block violates Bell Media's terms of Service just like YouTube's Terms of Service? I guess Ad block extensions might be a thing of the past soon. On another hand I noticed that they updated the interface when you watch their newscasts. I will put screenshots to show the difference.
Thanks for the help guys.
