Chrome with Adblock plus crashes Brightcove player

Post by strashila »

Hi,

we're having a very specific problem with Brightcove player in Chrome with Adblock plus, where no matter if the Adblock is enabled or disabled the playback crashes. As I said, this is a very specific problem, wich happens only in Chrome and with Adblock. If you try to watch this page in incognito, everything is working as desired.

example: http://b2.jpost.com/TestEmbed.aspx

I'm part of the team in charge of the player integration. We don't have a problem with people blocking the ad with Adblock, and continuing to view the video, we just want to avoid the crashes. Does anytbody has an idea what could be the reason for this?

Thanks a lot,
Alex

a #shadow-root is added on every page (even when ABP is disabled on that page)
so, probably is something about this approach

you should file an issue on the bug tracker
