Youtube black screen when trying to play

Post by Maivory »

Just wanted to post this, so far it's happening in SNL videos, when I turn off the adblocker everything works fine, and everything is up to date. I use the Easy list and Adblock Warning Removal List.

Same exact thing has been happening to me! It started with SNL videos for me as well, but now it happens on almost any channel. The audio still plays, but the video is just black. As soon as I disable ABP, the video returns.

Mapx for me it was literally any of their videos. You could go to their channel and pick any one, and it'd be black.

I asked an example video. I don't know what SNL videos are.

If it's about something like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL0IQvXD8F0

I get no issue, I see the video.

Try eventually the last dev build (which I'm using now)

(but disable the stable ABP)

For your test just disable all other extensions.

That is an example of an SNL video; it's an initialism for the American evening comedy show "Saturday Night Live".

I don't see the issue either, but I also use uBlock Origin with a non-standard setup; I could bother to set up ABP to try to reproduce the problem, but I haven't done that yet.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

I tried uBo - standard setup - and still nothing.
