In short: manually login and save session before use. - There are some websites that required further interactions before the HTML5 Video is loaded properly, e.g. to click a non-standard play button. Those sites do not work without special treatment in the server component. Please feel free to report issues with those sites for being included in server component code.

Please feel free to report issues with those sites for being included in server component code. - Video quality is not part of the Media API and any websites handles this on it's own. So like authentication, to control playback quality, manually settings on server side are required. (Hopefully the automatic settings fit your needs, but e.g. on a Raspberry Pi to high quality can cause stuttering.)
