As I commented in the above github issue, BBC videos also aren't playing for me in desktop Firefox, for at last the last few weeks, unless I disable ETP

I've seen this issue in Canada with Tracking Protection (predecessor to ETP strict mode) for a couple of years at least.

FWIW, with no change on my part, BBC videos (e.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-51162899/lebanon-protests-anti-government-protesters-clash-with-police) are playing for me now on desktop and Fenix.
