Sometimes the ads dont load, nor does the video.

As my title says, the ads sometimes are stuck on a blank screen with the time the ad is supposed to run for. The progress bar isn't loading, so i refresh the page, and then nothing loads. There are no other plugins enabled on my laptop (win 10) and the plugin, the exact same setup and version on my desktop (win11) works without any issues.

I should add, my browser is Opera GX and sometimes the adblocker works, other times it doesn't. It is very strange,

[marceloavf]

That happened to me sometimes, really weird, can you check your network/console to see if anything strange is being blocked?

[francofgp]

Today I found the same problem. I use Brave and this extension/script. After closing and reopening the video, it works

This is the console

Same thing happened to me today.

[beeonlinecy]

same here. It mostly happens if I try to play a video from a link to YT, but if i do the search through the YT and follow the video from the YT itself, it plays straight away. Also, if this happens, the video will actually start plaiyng but after about 30 seconds

same for me, i guess youtube changed something about their anti adblock script

[jongdetim]

yt definitely changed something today. not a single adblocker, including this one works for me now. The page simply doesn't load when i have all adblockers off. Somehow, if i open videos in a new tab, they still won't load even without any adblockers. strange.

it doesn't work now

[BearadactylPrime]

Adding on to this. It doesn't totally not work like some of the people are claiming here, but it is hit or miss as of today. Any ads that appear to overlay over a video seem to pop up, though a page refresh removes them.

Midrolls seem to be handled just fine, still, from my personal testing. It's only ads at the start of the video, and it isn't consistent.

Same as everyone else says. Most of the time just a blank broken looking screen appears for a long time and then after a few minute video starts playing. Same thing keeps happening even if you stop using adblocker and this script.

Thought it was something wrong with my vpn. I got the exact same problem even with everything turned off. If I let the page load for a few minutes sometimes it eventually does start playing.

[NiceGlassesDude]

I have the same issue.

[128ajb]

I will be able to update my issue later today, as I will have access to my desktop setup again. Will reply with the update when I can.

[FabianLoRs]

Same issue in Brave

[128ajb]

Updating my issue, It still works flawlessly on my desktop.

[chucheloff]

not working in chrome for me either

[Astral100]

it may be vpn related

[pmsobrado]

@Astral100 VPN related how? I'm not using any VPN.

[Astral100]

Oh ok. I am using VPN, same as another user here, so I thought it might be related. But I guess not.

[pmsobrado]

We should ask other people that have the issue and have reported here, but I think many users just surf the web normally :S
