Video auto-plays when uBlock is enabled #206
3 participants
Okay so actually you can pause it by clicking on the video, but the buttons "Play", etc don't work.
I don t see this behavior with out-of-the-box filter lists.
- What version of browser?
- What filter lists on top of default ones?
Chrome 38 beta 64-bit (OS X)
I cannot reproduce on stable version of Chrome or Opera.
I can reproduce on dev version of Chrome 39.
Weird. So it's more related to Chrome then?
Yes, problem is Chrome, this also occurs with Adblock Plus + EasyList.
I saw net requests unexpectedly labelled with a frameId of -2. I need to dig a bit more and report to Chromium devs.
I see these differences between Chrome 37 and Chrome 39:
Chrome 39:
-
other http://adm.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml= blocked
Chrome 37:
-
plugin http://2a86.v.fwmrm.net/ad/p/1?= blocked
Alright, the problem is that with Chrome 39, the request http://adm.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml is reported as a request of type other, while in Chrome 37 the request is reported as a request type plugin. The difference causes this specific request to be blocked in Chrome 39, while it is not blocked in Chrome 37 (because of filter ||fwmrm.net^$~object-subrequest,third-party, where object-subrequest is alias of plugin).
My opinion is that the request should be of type plugin, not other, as it is a request made by the plug-in as far as I understand.
I guess it's the same for the beta version (Chrome 38)?

Search for http://adm.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml in the Statistics tab in the dashboard, and see what is the type of the request: if it is other instead of plugin, it's the problem.
Yep, it's other.
Actually the problem is worst: all requests which should be of type plugin (or object internally) are labelled as other. This needs to be reported to Chromium devs.
Is it related to Endadget's player only or it could be a bigger problem? I hope for you it's the first one...

It's the second one. All blockers will be broken, it's not just uBlock who will suffer.
Opened issue with Chromium devs: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=410382
Strange, i am able to reproduce this issue on Chrome v37.0.2062.103 unknown-m (64-bit), Win 8.1
I am able to see these requests (*.crossdomain.xml are of plugin type only).
My Filters..uBlock v0.5.5
Strange, i am able to reproduce this issue on Chrome v37.0.2062.103
If http://adm.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml was blocked, the problem will happen. It's not supposed to be blocked with default lists.

thanks. This makes sense. Its blocked for me.
Also, just an FYI, in Firefox also, crossdomain.xml is reported as of type other.
reported as of type other
Reported by what?
Reported by what?
In Dev tools, these are categorized of type "other"..
I am not sure what is going on here. The bug is that in Chrome 38+, requests of type object are reported as requests of type other, while they were formerly reported properly as type object prior to Chrome 38. It's not speculation: it is definitely the problem. I fail to see how Firefox reports these requests is relevant to the current issue in Chrome.
Yes it is not directly relevant to our issue here. I am merely stating that Firefox also reports these types of requests the same way. It is just FYI..
In ABP for Firefox the same request is reported as object, so there is some kind of mapping internally done somewhere, whether by ABP or maybe deeper in Firefox they are properly typed.
I found another video which auto-plays (it's normal here), but (!) is kinda broken with uBlock. You can select one particular moment. You can pause though: http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/04/technology/security/apple-celebrity-photos/index.html
With uBlock disabled, you can select the moment you want with the progress bar.

Problem is in EasyList, same happens with ABP. This should be reported to EasyList maintainers. I would appreciate if you report to them, I don't have that much time on my hands.
Edit: removed suggested filter to fix issue, it works on Chromium 34, but not on Chrome 37.
If you go here : http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/03/samsung-galaxy-note-edge-hands-on/, the video embeded will auto-plays. Plus, you can't stop it... When you disable uBlock, you have to press play to launch it.
I don't know if it's related to uBlock or a filter (maybe EasyList...).
