And, when trying to access from the website, it is possible to enter, but it does not load any type of content on the main page , leaving the grid with several gray boxes of the videos that it is impossible to see.
However, other netizens noticed the problems until they played the video , as only the moving circle that represents the load appeared and after several minutes a legend of “An error occurred (reproduction ID) appeared. Press to retry ”, obtaining the same result when doing it.
