I get this message when I go to http://www.viafree.no/programmer/livsstil/luksusfellen/sesong-15/episode-1:

Innholdet du prøver å se er kun tilgjengelig for brukere i Norge

Which translates into:

The content you are trying to view is only available for users in Norway

So I won't be able to help.

if it's about brightcove player ..probably there's nothing to do

[gorhill]

@mapx- Is there a site accessible from where I am which uses this technology?

[mapx-]

try these sites

Is this the same issue? I see requests to Brightcove on the site too.

[mapx-]

I guess brightcove provides not only the newest (expensive) approach but also the old one (separate streams)

[ghajini]

There is no geolock right now.....

[okiehsch]

@ghajini I get a message that suggests that I should disable my adblocker, if I then whitelist
the site the video never starts, can you watch the video if you whitelist the site?

[ghajini]

I also not able to watch video....I thought it was my internet speed problem.... Though I don't know, what's the problem
edit:
@okiehsch i see 403 forbidden error in console thinking site restricts non-norway users.....so again geolock ,i think(site doesn't display that)...may be you can try norway proxy/mod header app and then solve subsequent antiadblock and .....but this really needs norway user
