I had all kinds of trouble with it when I was on the firestick. I got a Roku stick (my t and v is vintage Panasonic Plasma job) and my Criterion Channel playing issues went away.

thanks
I watch it through 2012 macbookpro usually frequent pauses with the 'loading' circle spinning even at lowest resolution, utube and ntflix work fine.
a couple times it was just not happening so I closed the window and started over and it then worked better.
gonna read a book

I have been trouble with exactly one film playing, which is Peppermint Frappe. It never loads for me! I had my sister try it out and she had no issue. Boy, I would really like to watch it again. Everything else plays fine.

My girlfriend and I have been going through the Les Blank documentaries up there, and they're all great! Watched In Heaven There Is No Beer? most recently and, boy, what a delight.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through the 7-hour Hungarian movie "Satantango." Grim as hell, funny at times, moments of brilliance. And I will always stan the director's cut of "Until the End of the World," vastly superior to the shorter theatrical version. In other tremendously long foreign films, I somehow let "An Elephant Sitting Still" get away, hopefully it will return to CC before long.

In movies of reasonable length, I also just noticed the restored version of the reggae film "Babylon" has returned, I missed that first time around.
