Why can't I see videos on the New York Times site?

I can no longer watch any flash videos on the New York Times website (http://video.nytimes.com/). It used to work just fine, now I don't see the videos.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with AdBlock, because if I disable AdBlock, they work just fine.

I've gone through all my filters, and I don't see anything that is filtering out these videos. I've whitelisted the page AND the site, and they still don't play. The only thing that works is disabling AdBlock but that's not really something I want to do long-term.

Any ideas?

Those seem to be fine with the EasyList and EasyPrivacy.

Are you using Adblock or Adblock Plus?

Whose filters are you using?

Is your Flash Player up to date?

I realized after reading your post that I was using AdBlock.

Installed AdBlock Plus and EasyList, and voila, problem solved. Thanks!

No problem

Both "Adblock" and Filterset.G are dead projects.
