ABC.com and full episode videos viewing
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:56 pm
Hi,
I have been trying to get the full videos to play over at abc.com for the past 24 hours and I can't figure out what needs to be changed. I've tried doing some searching on this board, but the search engine doesn't work very good. To see what I mean, do a Topic only search and use the word Exception and the search returns various topics, many without the word exception in them.
I have the Move player for Firefox installed and I can see the short clips from around the abc.com site. I also have NoScript extension installed, but it's set to allow abc.com, movenetworks.com and go.com and shows the fully enabled solid blue 'S' in the status bar.
Adblock Plus, OTOH, doesn't work as expected. I see that there are a couple of blocked items in the blockable items list. However, when I tell Adblock Plus to make a Exception Rule for these items, and while the exceptions are made and listed there in the Exception Rules list, Adblock Plus still blocks the item. I would think that Adblock Plus would know how to create it's own proper exception rules and they would have a higher priority then something listed in the Filter Subscription (EasyList).
Since that didn't work, I disabled Adblock Plus on abc.go.com and I see the green Adblock Plus icon at the bottom of the Firefox window, but still no joy.
Here's what happens when I click the Launch button for the full episode video. First a new Firefox window opens, but smaller. The area in this window goes black for a second, and then turns all gray with the exception of a narrow black strip at the bottom. This Firefox window is a borderless window and because ABP doesn't have menu options and there is no status bar, I don't know what's happening.
I've tried going to a particular show topic and starting the video from there as well as just clicking one of the Full Episode from the main page.
Both NoScript and Adblock Plus are in their allow every thing mode, so I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Would someone please help me by trying to play an ABC full episode videos?.
Thanks.
Grant
