AdBlock is blocking most embedded video (except on YouTube)

Post by Carlonius24 »

Help!

My copy of AdBlock is blocking most embedded Flash video, (such as linked videos from YouTube embedded within Facebook) and replacing it with Add-Art images. I tried disabling Add-Art, but video is still being blocked.

I don't presume to know a lot about AdBlock, but what could be causing this? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think that the issue should now be resolved; please force a subscription update by opening the Tools menu, selecting the Adblock Plus preferences, and then "Filters", followed by "Update all subscriptions".

Hi

Bumping this thread as I'm having the same problem. After the last update of the AdBlockPlus plugin in FF, most embedded videos (including YT) no longer work. They only work when I disable AB. I've tried the proposed solution above, but no dice. Can anyone help?

ABP does not block anything unless there is some filter rule.
Filter rules can come with "subscriptions" or they can be added as "custom filters".

BTW, ABP does not replace videos with any "art". This makes me suspect there is something else involved, like another extension (flashblock, noscript, etc).

Please exclude blocking of videos from site www.Afisha.ru, like this one http://www.afisha.ru/movie/198046/
We have several emails on support regarding this problem, and I hope you can modify the according filter rules. Thank you!
