I tried streaming to my sister's PC. Her browser defaults to Firefox which I didn't notice until later. WinTV 10 Extend streamed for over 2.5 hours. I then changed to stream using Microsoft Edge. It streamed for 5min and 13 sec and then got the same audio distortion as on my PC.

I tried to install FireFox on my PC but found it is a newer version. My sister's FireFox version 142 is from August 2025. This newer version 149 I installed shows the streaming bar loading but never begins to play the video. A circle of dots spins on the normal video viewing area, as if trying to load the video.

I believe that all these Browser platforms have been adding so much additional security measures it is preventing normal streaming possible. I can't even stream YouTube videos on my newer version 149 of FireFox.

I tried to find a FireFox support chat line with no success. I would assume there is a way to allow video streaming by creating exceptions.
