Description

Trying to watch live hockey games on CBC's website initially shows an error when Tracking Protection is enabled:

https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/hockey-night-in-canada/desktop-hnic-live-stream-pit-nyi-1.5089668

This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser
Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED
Technical details :
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Session ID: 2019-04-12:a280600b9f9cefe4f9ee6bb3 Player Element ID:vjs_video_3

In the console I see some messages like this:

VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED) The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. 

VIDEOJS: ima3-ad-error AdError 1012: Unable to request ads from server due to network error.

Based on the above stack traces, the updated IMA3 shim in bug 1713690 may fix this.
