Pornhub videos not playing #6680

Closed Sanugon closed 7 years ago

Sanugon commented 8 years ago

I can visit the site with no problems but as soon as I click on a video it just doesn't play. It opens the video but instead of playing it gives a black screen where the video should be,

I disabled all of my extensions and tested the videos again and they worked. So I systematically turned on all my extensions one by one till I got to https-everywhere and the problems started again. I then turned off all my extensions again and tested it solely with https-everywhere and it is definitely the culprit. For now I just disabled it for that site.

It's not a major issue but it could potentially cause problems on other video sites which doesn't use https.

Specs:

Google Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m (64-bit) HTTPS Everywhere 2016.8.24

@Sanugon i can't reproduce that issue here. Are you using flash for the videos by chance?

Sanugon commented 7 years ago

@numismatika Funny enough the problem started again. I followed the same procedure as before and now the same thing is happening with Ad Block Plus. It is only ABP that is giving the issue; it still works fine with Ad Block enabled.

I'm starting to wonder if it has more to do with www.pornhub.com than the actual extensions.

Oh and the only flash I use is what comes pre-installed with Chrome. I do use a flash blocker, although the results are the same regardless if it's enabled or not.
