Describe the issue

I have not put it down as detected as there is not the usual message to disable ad-blocker. It seems that when uBlock is active and I go to hit play on any programme, the page remains in a loading state indefinitely and I cannot play the programme until I hvae disabled uBlock

Same issue, Firefox, Ublock origin, Linux, default filters

Website functions but video will not play, continual buffering, if ublock disabled then video will play (with ads) and ublock can be enabled without issues.

Issue #14352

[ghajini]

does following filter work when you put into ubo my filters

channel4.com#@#+js(set, Object.prototype.AdRequest, noopFunc)

also confirm whether you get ads or not

i tried above filter & watched a video, i don't get any ads (though vpn ed)

[elite4jonny]

Seems to have fixed it thanks!

Not sure if it's just GitHub formatting but on my notification there was a space between "set," and "Object" while on the mobile site it's showing a space after "AdRequest,"

update ublock filters in couple of minutes

Seems to be a small issue - 5 to 10 seconds into a video starting the image freezes or returns to the splash screen but audio continues

Pressing play again plays the video normally
