Startribune.com Videos [white]

Post by xanadu1979 »

The little flash video player on the homepage of http://www.startribune.com isn't working when Adblock and the EasyList filter is turned on.

What little flash video? Am I overlooking something?

"Video" in the middle of the page next to "Multimedia".

Code: Select all

I'm having a bizarre problem here. I cannot get a player to come up for the "Star Tribune" video even with ABP disabled ... yet the "Associated Press" video plays fine with ABP enabled without ANY whitelist. WTF?

Make sure the video tab is selected. Most of the time it comes up by default, but sometimes it doesn't.

Just did ... no go. It's definitely a player problem

Like I said, if I tab over to the AP video, the player loads. Same results in IE.

This is a bit perplexing. I normally don't have video problems ... especially conflicting problems on the same site :(
Is it the same player?

This is what it is:
Associated Press video:

st2.jpg (53.26 KiB) Viewed 3875 times
Star Tribune video:

st1.jpg (27.6 KiB) Viewed 3875 times
Same results Firefox and IE. Also when I pick a Star Tribune video, the page just flips to the top.

No, it's different.

Hmm, maybe it helps if you clear Flash settings/cookies -> %AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player (if you've never done this before, there will be MANY elements :) ) ?
