ABP blocks all CNN videos.....

Post by MountainSide »

Have tried and tried to get ABP to work on CNN but all CNN videos, regardless of which page on the site is viewed, are blocked. The only thing I see is the red Flash box tumbling for 10 or more minutes until I finally cancel the vid. The only way I have found to get any CNN vids to play is to disable or uninstall ABP. No other vids, on any other website, are blocked.

Stats are as follows:
ABP: version 1.5; using current Easy List; have deleted patterns.ini and let list reload; have uninstalled ABP and reinstalled
IE: version 11.420.10586.0; have deleted all cookies, history and temp files and reset IE
Win 10: Win 10 Home; 64 bit, with all current updates
Computer: Intel i5, 16 Gb ram, 2 x 1Tb hard drives
Internet: Comcast at 100Mbps as measured by Speedtest.net

Anybody have a similar issue? Any solutions?

yeah, finally I can reproduce the issue. I had to click "disable everywhere" to watch the video ("disable on cnn" does not work).
However, similar bugs were already reported in the past for other sites / pages.

You should file an issue on the bug tracker:
