ABC Full Episodes - No playback Controls

Post by pauldow »

I've been seeing a new behavior on ABC full episode videos. I'm on Firefox 39.0.3, ABP 2.9.6.1.
The ads are properly blocked, but there are no controls to make it full screen, play/pause, audio control, nor the progress bar to allow me to skip ahead or go back.
Also, there is a circle in the center of the video with the "play" triangle icon that won't go away. The mouse cursor changes to a finger when within the circle, but it does nothing.

The playback is correct when ABP is disabled, but they have 5 ads between segments. I don't mind paying with my time some, but that's too much for ads I have no interest in.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I agree, there is a problem:

Thanks Mapx,

Unfortunately, the filter doesn't seem to work for me.
When I view the program, and go back to look at the ABP filter settings, it shows 0 Hits for that filter.
The controls and progress bar do appear, but quickly disappear before the video starts.
I was on Flash 18.0.0.203, and I upgraded to 18.0.0.209, but it made no difference.
I tried disabling Shockwave / Flash to force it to use HTML5, but I get the message "This content requires Adobe Flash Player - Version 10.2.159"

@pauldow, there are 2 filters, did you add them as only 1 filter ?

D'oh!

Pretty good that you were able to figure out my mistake from there!

I saw all my other custom filters began with @@ so I just did the Select All and Paste.

Works great again.

Thank you for your work.
