Adblock pauses youtube videos.

Post by lilmrock »

It stops the advertisements, but I have to manually start the videos every time. How do I fix this? Easylist is all I've added to it.

Would you please provide a specific link to a problematic video? There are many different advertising systems on YouTube and therefore many possible sources of error.

PC overheated way back when, it is on EVERY video, and now that youtube changed its bar I have to disable adblock completely so I can even get it to come up. Damn youtube and their updates.

Are you saying that this issue has only occurred after your computer overheated, and now appears on every video? It's certainly an unusual incident. Would you please submit an issue report on an affected page and post the generated link in this topic?

What I meant was I couldn't respond sooner because my PC overheated and I had to get all the new stuff together.

Basically, every time I want to play a youtube video I have to manually click play. The new youtube bar just makes it so much more annoying for reasons unrelated to this.

Can you please send an Adblock Plus issue report (Click on the "ABP" icon -> Report issue on this page) for those two example videos? Do both links show the behavior you described?

Example video with ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-IuU3S9tQ8

I guess only the videos with adds don't start to play. Sent the report on the 2nd link. Just turns out almost every video I watch (major youtube partners) has an add on every video! Yay youtube... :D So what now? :|

Would you please post a link to the report in this topic? We don't receive the links until the morning after the report is sent and find it difficult to identify who has sent a report regardless.

Does disabling the filter ||google.com/jsapi?autoload=*%22ads%22$script,domain=youtube.com resolve the issue?

If you do find the filters responsible please let us know - I am unable to reproduce the problem and therefore cannot fix the issue in EasyList.
