Today, I disabled cdn usage by the videos on my websites. I previously wanted that if one of the videos on my website became popular, the requests for the mp4s would go through a cdn and not my server directly. On the second hit in the past 24h, the cdn would be used. But I was having problems with the video sometimes taking a few reloads of the page until the cdn finally replied with the video. The last straw today came when I was trying to watch a Harry Potter movie. So I just stopped using a cdn altogether. Videos should work better now.
