Can you test this filter?

play.max.com##+js(json-prune, ssaiInfo fallback.ssaiInfo manifest.url)

Based on the feedbacks, I think we can add it.

It's added to the main list. You can force update all your filter lists and remove the custom filter in "My filters" pane.

Reopening as waiting for feedbacks on reddit.

Since the filter above can remove other sections of a video (recaps, previews, behind-the-scenes...) and with xpath support in uBO's latest dev build, anyone who does not want to remove those sections can test these filters:

play.max.com##+js(json-prune, ssaiInfo fallback.ssaiInfo)
play.max.com##+js(xml-prune, xpath(//*[name()="Period"][not(.//*[name()="SegmentTimeline"])]), , .mpd)

[stephenhawk8054]

The filters are added for dev versions now. I think we can close it until further feedbacks.
