For me, there seem to be three different things going on that cause this:
- I change the country of the server on my VPN to a different one and the problem goes away.
- A hiccup on the sites that host the movie causes this problem intermittently either a movie won't start or part way through gets the issue. In this case, if you just wait a while it goes away, or just trying again resolves it.
- A specific movie has this problem whatever I do. In these instances, I report it and Morti fixes it, he seems to know what causes this issue and can fix it.
I'm not sure, Morti never explained it in detail, but I don't think Lookmovie actually downloads the movies and stores them on their own server. I'm guessing that Lookmovie is just linking to someone else's site that is hosting the movie and if that site has a tech issue that it cascades down to the movies we try to watch from that server.
