Mac stops playing Netflix/Plex
Over the past month or 2, my Mac would randomly stop playing videos from Netflix and Plex. Tried multiple browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari. Netflix and Plex would work completely fine from my PC at the very same moment. Similar issues with Spotify during the same incident. Could never figure out what was causing the issue but a computer restart would allow videos to play again.
This happened again last night. Did a restart, this time videos did not work. Everything is up-to-date, no new software installed recently. I have Plex set to pull as HTML5 as opposed to Flash. Netflix will not stream the actual video, but I can see the description overlay.
Very strange and I'm unable to find anything online about it. Anyone have a random guess as to what may be blocking the video play?
