Rare problem with the new WebSocket wrapper code #14

Closed okiehsch closed 7 years ago

okiehsch commented 7 years ago
  1. Use uBO-Extra 2.2
  2. Add *$websocket,domain=the-voice-of-germany.de to your filter list.
  3. Go to http://www.the-voice-of-germany.de/tv/the-voice-of-germany/playlists/ganze-folgen This site uses websockets to push video ads. You may need a german IP to reproduce...
  4. This results in the video being blocked because you use an adblocker. german
  5. Use uBO-Extra 2.1
  6. This results in the video playing fine and without any video ads.

Edit:

  1. Disable uBO-Extra
  2. This results in the video being blocked because you use an adblocker.

Notes:

Video ads being pushed through websockets happens on quite a few german websites, for example http://www.moviepilot.de/movies/wild--3/trailer That site works fine with the new wrapper, hence the title Rare problem

Does this still occur with 2.9? I can't reproduce (using a .de VPN).

I can still reproduce and it still works with 2.1. As a workaround I can use ||vod-akamai-psd2-dcp.p7s1digital.de$media,domain=example.com so it really is not an important issue.

With the release of Chrome 58 this issue can be closed.
