Web Player Stuck on pinwheel, behind corporate firewall and proxy, http=1 solution no longer works.

[crymsen]

Web player seems to no longer respect the http=1 parameter.

Fellow coworkers reporting the same issue.

What gives?

Edit:

Switched from Chrome to firefox.

Firefox loads the interface, but music still won't play.

Edit2:

More browser player threads:

I'm having the same issue. Everything worked until earlier this week when I used the http=1 parameter, but now that seems to be ignored and I can't connect. Did you figure out a way to get it to work?

this just started on my mac yesterday. i went on the browser to start listening and it just kept the pinwheel going the entire time. i've had it on for around half an hour in another tab and it still isn't loaded in. got any ideas on how to fix it?

Same here. Tried chrome, firefox, home computer, work computer. Nada.

Actually, I don't think that this has anything to do with work/not work computers. I think this is just something that popped up 2 days ago. Is that when everyone else started having the problem? I never needed to use the http=1 soluton in the past. The ACTUAL player is still working in both locations.

Yeah... Put a link to another post on the forums that people are having a bunch of issues with the web player...

Now appears to be working again as of 9/17/15.

That is using the http=1 parameter...

This works for like an hour and then I need to re-add the ?http=1 and reload the page, any suggestions for that?
