Why is the webcast not working for me? "Cannot load M3U8: crossdomain access denied."

I have no idea what that means. I've watched ESA webcasts before. The same thing happened yesterday.

Playing a Payload Presentation dedicated to EchoStar 18.

Got the Ariane countdown going on my big screen. What's the issue holding the count?
