Hello mapx,

I cannot see the video due to a blockage related to ABP!!

Thanks for your help.

I get no issue on that page.
Disable all other addons, keep only ABP enabled, submit an issue report and then post here the report link.

Hello mapx,

Just to give you some feedback that might be useful for others later on.

Going through "Report issue on this page ...", I was asked to disable particular filters apparently conflicting with what was in the Peter Lowe's list subscription filter. I agreed and it disabled some filters on this Peter Lowe's list subscription filter but also on my custom filters related to taboola by unticking the following custom filter that I had: ||taboola.com^ .
I assume that this custom filter was conflicting with the filters that were in Peter Lowe's list subscription filter.

So, I solved this matter this way.

Hello mapx,

Just to let you know, I tried ||flv.sales.cbs.com^ but it did not work. I had to revert to the solution that I stated previously which is:
