NoScript extension for Tor Browser allows dynamic content only for trusted websites of the user’s choice to prevent exploitation. However, the extension can cause issues if the media content is blocked by default.

If you don’t want to enable media for all the websites, NoScript allows you to add individual sources manually to your trusted exception list. You can add more than one source, repeating the steps above. This fix should also be helpful for Xplay videos that are not playing.

5. Change the Tor security level

At Standard Level, all Tor Browser and website features are enabled. However, check for extension compatibility issues if the video still does not play and results in an error.

5. Clear Tor cookies and cache
