The black screen issue

[hieronymusdesign]

Hi guys,

Since a few days https://gaming.youtube.com launched.

The html 5 player is the default video play for youtube.

When using safari Version 8.0.8 (10600.8.9) and Ad block plus 1.9.2 commercials are blocked.

However. The video player ends up with a black screen. The audio is working.

To reproduce this just watch any live stream when a commercial is being blocked/

https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=7eTm3KWCPHQ for example

After looking in to the source code

<video class="video-stream html5-main-video" src="blob:https://gaming.youtube.com/4ededd0c-a1f ... 4ef6b4409f" style="width: 716px; height: 403px; left: 420.77777777777777px; top: 0px; -webkit-transform: none; display: none !important;"></video>

changed to

<video class="video-stream html5-main-video" src="blob:https://gaming.youtube.com/4ededd0c-a1f ... 4ef6b4409f" style="width: 716px; height: 403px; left: 420.77777777777777px; top: 0px; -webkit-transform: none; display: block !important;"></video>

the video appears

Maybe the player matched a hiding rule and that's why it had display: none !important
