Same here, just started back again this morning... So annoying. I don't understand why ABP has this problem but uBlock doesn't.
What's uBlock?

another adblocker.

If YT worked fine for weeks and now is again in trouble it seems a site issue and not connected with the use of an adblocker or another.

So if I used both Adblock and this uBlock would it solve the problem or make it worse?

Use always only 1 adblocker.
Nobody can say if your issue will be solved (for example I can't reproduce the issue). Just give it a try. As I said above there is no reason for such behaviour (other than YT issue) if for weeks all was working fine.

Why don't websites learn that the more they try to stop or work around Adblock the more we're going to use it?

It doesn't even play audio it just shows a black screen and 0:00/0:00 for about 20 seconds (or however long the ad takes)

Started getting this issue several days ago. Any ideas when a fix may be coming?

One issue I am still suffering from is videos are getting stuck at 0:00. You guys need to look into this.

Hi,

I am using the latest firefox and ABP, I visit the youtube link listed as an example problem here -> https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/4273

I am not getting any blackscreen or audio cut? Video play normally. I try chrome and the same goes.

Not forgetting to mention that I have google account logged in.
