The above rules are a bit to generic,.. Does the following help?

@@||imasdk.googleapis.com/flash/core/adsapi_3_0_$object-subrequest,domain=cnet.com|video.foxnews.com
@@||analytics.edgesuite.net/crossdomain.xml$domain=video.foxnews.com

Doesn't work. You need to disable Flash plug-in, which it appears causes the HTML5 player to be used instead.

The requests which are needed but blocked are:

"http://79423.analytics.edgesuite.net/ht ... ml5-min.js", of type javascript, blocked by "||analytics.edgesuite.net^" in EasyPrivacy.

I clear this one with "@@||79423.analytics.edgesuite.net/html5/akamaihtml5-min.js".

Then the following blocked one is needed:

"http://ma102-r.analytics.edgesuite.net/ ... eoObject=1", of type XHR, blocked by "||analytics.edgesuite.net^" in EasyPrivacy.

I clear this one with "@@||ma102-r.analytics.edgesuite.net/config/beacon-1498.xml".

Then the following blocked one is needed:

"http://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/br ... _398475047", of type iframe, blocked by "||imasdk.googleapis.com^$third-party" in EasyList.

I clear this one with "@@||imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.1.71_en.html".

Then all seems to work. I am just not sure which part of the URL is likely to change in the short term, and also, I found that "http://79423.analytics.edgesuite.net/html5/akamaih
tml5-min.js" will be fetched in the context of "videos.foxnews.com" (normally) *and* "akamaihd.net" (if you click one of the thumbnail videos).

Okay how about this;

Code: Select all

@@||imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge*.html$domain=video.foxnews.com

@@||analytics.edgesuite.net/html5/akamaihtml5-min.js$domain=video.foxnews.com

@@||analytics.edgesuite.net/config/beacon-*.xml?$domain=video.foxnews.com

Couldn't get Full screen to work :/

Yes works fine in ABP. Thanks.
