FAQ
TL;DR: On one PC, 1 of 2 with ESET blocked cda.pl; "after uninstalling ESET the cda.pl website works". Action: test by disabling/uninstalling ESET on the affected PC. For Windows users fixing cda.pl layouts/no video across browsers. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17280745]
Why it matters: You can quickly isolate and resolve cda.pl failures by targeting security software conflicts validated in this thread.
Quick Facts
- Symptom: 3 desktop browsers failed on the affected machine (Chrome, Opera, IE). [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17276581]
- Root cause in-thread: ESET conflict; uninstall restored functionality, while another ESET PC worked fine. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17280745]
- Full Windows Update plus IE 11 did not resolve the issue alone. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17278275]
- Control test: Edge on Windows 10 opened cda.pl without issues in another environment. [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #17277981]
- Diagnostics requested: AdwCleaner scan and FRST logs for analysis. [Elektroda, Kolobos, post #17277999]
What caused cda.pl to break on one Windows PC in this thread?
ESET Security conflicted with cda.pl on the affected PC. After uninstalling ESET, the site opened and videos worked. The same user ran ESET on another PC without problems. That indicates a configuration-specific conflict, not a global CDA issue. In this case, 50% of the user’s ESET PCs showed the problem. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17280745]
How do I fix cda.pl not loading or no video?
Start with a clean baseline and targeted checks proven in the thread.
- Install all pending Windows Updates, including Internet Explorer updates.
- Run AdwCleaner (Scan, then Clean/Remove) to eliminate ad-injection or PUPs.
- Collect FRST (Frst.txt, Addition.txt) logs for expert review, then retest cda.pl.
These steps isolate system causes before you adjust security software. [Elektroda, Kolobos, post #17277999]
Does updating Internet Explorer to 11 or running Windows Update fix it?
Not by itself in this case. The system was fully updated and Internet Explorer 11 installed. Despite that, cda.pl still failed to render and play correctly. Treat OS updates as a prerequisite, not the final fix. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17278275]
Should I install Flash Player to fix cda.pl playback?
Installing Flash did not help in this case. The site still displayed poorly and videos did not start. Focus instead on updates, cleaning unwanted software, and testing security software conflicts. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17276581]
Could antivirus or ad‑blockers be blocking cda.pl?
Yes. The helper advised removing web-filtering software to test. "Uninstall Ad Muncher, if nothing changes, uninstall ESET Security for now." This isolates conflicts in filters like HTTPS scanning or content blockers. Re-enable only after confirming behavior. [Elektroda, Kolobos, post #17278282]
How can I allow cda.pl in ESET without uninstalling it?
Add cda.pl to the Allowed list under URL address management. Then retest. If needed, temporarily disable SSL/TLS protocol filtering to confirm HTTPS scanning involvement. You can also exclude your browser process from Web access protection. Reverse changes after successful testing. "URL address management — ESET Support"
Edge works on Windows 10 but others fail—what does that indicate?
A good control test succeeded in a different environment. That suggests the issue resides in the affected Windows setup, not cda.pl globally. Use a known‑good browser or device to verify scope before deeper troubleshooting. [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #17277981]
I get "404 Not Found" when selecting CDA as a source on an aggregator—what next?
This was observed when choosing CDA as the host, while a different host (Vidoza) played. That points to a CDA-specific path failing on the affected PC. Verify the same link on another device, then continue with updates, cleanup, and AV/ad‑blocker isolation. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17277978]
What logs or tools should I prepare for community diagnostics?
Provide AdwCleaner results and FRST logs (Frst.txt and Addition.txt). These capture startup entries, browser hooks, and unwanted software traces. They enable precise, scriptable fixes instead of guesswork. [Elektroda, Kolobos, post #17277999]
Does this problem affect phones or other PCs on the same network?
In this thread, the phone and another PC on the same network worked fine. That helps rule out router or ISP filtering as the primary cause. Focus on the affected Windows machine. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17276581]
Will clearing browser history or cache fix it?
The user cleared history, but the site still malfunctioned. Cache cleanup is quick to try, yet it did not resolve this case. Proceed with system updates and security software checks if symptoms persist. [Elektroda, xardas86, post #17276581]
Which antivirus should I use if I remove ESET?
A helper suggested installing Microsoft Security Essentials. It offers baseline protection and can avoid filter conflicts that block media sites. Retest cda.pl after switching to confirm resolution. [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #17280976]
Could missing .NET Framework libraries cause display issues?
A helper noted that missing .NET components can cause problems and recommended enabling Windows Update. "Enable updates, you are missing Net Famework libraries and therefore you have problems." Install all recommended components before deeper debugging. [Elektroda, Pedros050, post #17276662]
