Troubles with videos on vk.com

Post by Redcord »

The Adblock Plus version 2.6.11
Browser FF 41.0.1
Windows 10 x64

Hello dear team.
Recently our beloved vk.com has introduced youtube-like in-video ads; e.g. after you click any video to watch, you will see a short commercial before the video itself.
That is okay with Chrome - ABP blocks the ad correctly;
but in FF i just get black screen with infinite loading animation (3 running bars).
Whilst I can see preview of every frame of the video, i just cannot play the video itself, neither the add. Only disabling ABP gets me right to the video (with or without the ad).

I beg you to make a little work to fix this issue so all grateful VK users could enjoy the site itself.
PS the described problem is actual ONLY for vids hosted on vk itself. (example: http://vk.com/video209979551_168075367)

Thx in advance.

I have no issues on vk.com
Did you clear cookies + cache ?
Did you try disabling all other addons ?

if still happens submit an issue report and then post here the report link.

Sorry, I was wrong, the problem was in the other subscriptions, I'm turn off all except RuAdList+EasyList or just EasyList now it's working.

I just tested using easylist + ruadlist, no issues here.
Update your filters and test again.

I've just tested the video Redcord gave the link to - http://vk.com/video209979551_168075367, doesn't work for me either.
The testing showed that it's EasyPrivacy that prevents the video from loading.

I tested using easylist + easyprivacy, I can see the video, no issue here.
If you are using firefox, submit an issue report and post here the report link.

mapx, here's the report: https://reports.adblockplus.org/d51f13a ... b=requests
I've ascertained the the rule that blocks the video is ||rs.mail.ru^ . But when unchecked, it allows ads to be played before the video.

I tested again, nothing. I don't get that filter.
I tested even using a russian IP. Same result.

You should report at ruadlist forum, perhaps they can test on real/direct russian ip.
