ABP not blocking ads on NBC

Post by sooz5zero »

ABP is not blocking the 20-30 second commercials that play before each video clip for The Voice on NBC.com. So if I were to watch several clips, I'd have to sit through a commercial before each one. I've experienced the same problem trying to watch video clips on Saturday Night Live.

Here's the report link: https://reports.adblockplus.org/6d459d7 ... ea7b9eb353

I subscribe to (and have updated) the Easy List + Easy Privacy and the Adblock Warning Removal List.

I also use the custom filters previously suggested for NBC:

If you could clarify mapx, are you saying I don't need the custom filters I already have setup for NBC, or that I don't need any new ones?
Also when I check my firefox add-ons manager it shows that Shockwave Flash is set to "Always Activate" - isn't that the same as being turned on?

When I tested, I kept flash disabled, I used no custom filters for nbc. I was able to see the video without video ads.

thanks for the clarification, with flash disabled it worked for me too and I've removed the old custom filters since they're not needed

In the past I was advised here on the forum to delete all custom filters for NBC and simply disable flash add-on to get NBC shows to play with ads blocked. That has worked well for quite awhile, but earlier today show was blocked from playing. Went back here and saw that mapx had suggested a new set of custom filters for NBC for another person who was having problems with NBC. Added those custom filters, but still no luck getting this to play. Tried both with and without flash disabled and still can't get it to play.
