Just for laughs - double check 15.1 is installed and it wasn't a failed upgrade (e.g. settings, general, about) - also try with Chrome installed to see if it changes. The issued with iOS 15 was a DRM OS issue affecting all browsers, that is confirmed fixed even by other video providers. There is a chance AA's provider broke something on Safari.

Also when you say "back to not working" - what is the failure.
Thanks for asking. Chrome doesn't work at all. You click play and it does nothing. I actually tried chrome first yesterday.

On safari, the ads work fine (as before). The movie will stop 5-10 seconds in. Sometimes it restarts or jumps 3-4 minutes into the movie. Then it stops. iPad Air (2020) iOS 15.1 and iPad Pro (2018) iOS 15.1 and saw a 12" ipad pro struggle 1 seat over yesterday as well. I did get an episode of friends to play fine for 19 minutes. Then it froze. The play button did nothing at that point. The top of the browser also always showed no matter what I did.

AA entertainment always worked fine before iOS 15. But even with the fix for 15.1 it has been mostly crap. I blame Apple's lack of focus on bugs lately (lots of carplay issues with Volvo etc).
