Adblock does not work on videos ads anymore

Post by stpa67 »

I tried everything but it seems like adblock no longer works on ads in videos. Will this be fixed in a future version or is adblock useless on videos from now on?

No, it's an issue in your system.

0. check your filter lists: which are enabled ? Are them correctly downloaded ? (click ABP icon, filter preferences)
1. provide example links to videos where the ads aren't blocked.
What type of video ? html5 or flash ?

I'll give an example, the videos on ryuanime.io

ALL VIDEOS no exact example needed but if you insist on an exact example

Code: Select all

http://www.ryuanime.io/watch/anime/subbed/hunter-x-hunter-2011-episode-57
JW player.

all videos have an overlayed false play button that is not blocked and if you click it, it will open 2 additional windows with ads that contain virus's. My AV prevents the windows from establishing contact with the site but they still have to be closed before playing video.


Also ryuanime changed domains from .com to .io this may be part of the issue but i cannot find any filter that contains ryuanime at all, neither .com nor .io

website is working fine. I've been on it all day.


Edit: I dont know why http was added at the beginning of the link by the forum. Just copy the link starting with the www and it works fine.

Code: Select all

If you want to remove the message about disabling adblockers, add
