Some videos not playing

Hello,
I've recently had an issue with the site WorldStarHipHop and not allowing me to play a video if it has an ad before it. Some videos do not have them and allow me to view them perfectly fine. The only way I am able to watch the videos with ads is to completely disable AdBlock and refresh the page.

Thank you for your reply, but is there anyway to stop the ad from loading overall and allowing the video to play?

Yes, just force an update of your subscriptions. This will allow the video to play

That did the trick, thank you.

I get a pre-roll ad on this video. Can it be blocked?

if the ad is that "stack season out now itunes" thing, I think it's nothing to do (part of the main video)

No it's an actual pre-roll ad. I'll try to reproduce it with a report.

reproducible using US IP

however you could use these filters:

Code: Select all

||hw-videos.worldstarhiphop.com/u/vid/2015/06/*.mp4
||2mdn.net^$domain=worldstarhiphop.com
but:
-the first filter could block real videos
-when you see "Advertisement.Your video will start in 1 second" you have to click the video and then again click the play button to see the real video.
