Youtube won't play videos

Post by Techbot »

I've been using Adblock for a bit now, and all was fine until here in the past week or so. Youtube videos won't load unless I whitelist the user or turn off or pause Adblock. The ad doesn't start, which is good, but the video itself just sits and buffers and never starts up.

Same issue. Various YouTube pages won't play and just spin at the loading screen. It appears to be the bigger content providers that have acquired this capability, such as ESPN.

This one for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tqh3VbQoPE

No issues here, video running fine. Try disabling all other extensions, be sure using ABP and not other adblocker. If still happens, reset chrome, reinstall ABP.
