I have recently signed up for a video streaming site (watch.filmstruck.com). I can sign into their website without any problem, but when I chose a movie, what appears to be their video player opens up, but nothing happens.

One of the answers I saw for a previous question about videos mentioned youtube-dl. As I understand it, this is for downloading videos. I don't want to download - I just want to stream a video.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Tor only works with TCP, so it's possible the video stream is being sent with UDP and thus Tor is unable to handle the requests.

  • Is there video player a standalone application, or just a player in your browser? If it is a standalone, then it will not work.

  • Filmstruck closed in November 2018, so this question is unanswerable.

The player opened by your browser does not know a thing about your Tor settings. Edit your player settings to use Tor proxy and save them by default - that's how it will work. Or - a better, but harder way - use a middlebox/router to wrap all the traffic through Tor
