blocked with ||edgecast-vod.yimg.com/$media,redirect-rule=noopmp3-0.1s,domain=yahoo.com on my end (from uBlock filters)

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#redirect-rule says that

The above filter will not cause a block filter to be created, only a redirect directive will be created. Standalone redirect directives are useful when the blocking of a resource is optional but we still want the resource to be redirected should it ever be blocked by whatever mean - whether through a separate block filter, a dynamic filtering rule, etc.

Try accessing from a Brazilian IP address.

The preroll video is blocked/thwarted/stopped by the redirect filter. I don't see your point.

I tested a few filters:

||edgecast-vod.yimg.com/$media,redirect=noop-0.1s.mp3,domain=s.yimg.com works, but may play a short blank video instead of the ad.

||edgecast-vod.yimg.com$media,domain=s.yimg.com or ||edgecast-vod.yimg.com/$media,domain=s.yimg.com completely work.

I suggest:

The domain part must be removed, or changed to include s.yimg.com
redirect-rule must be removed or changed to redirect.

I can't reproduce it anymore.

I am getting videos ads on https://br.vida-estilo.yahoo.com/bem-humorado-silvio-santos-volta-a-gravar-no-sbt-161403621.html. This is the ad video URL https://s.yimg.com/cv/apiv2/AOS_BR2020/RCHLO_VINHO_CTA_16x9.mp4. Its' HTTP Referer is something like https://s.yimg.com/rx/vrm/builds/RANDOMNUMBERSHERE/xdomain-vpaid.html?id=0. The id parameter can change, but I don't know whether the numbers part changes.

The filter ||s.yimg.com/rx/vrm/builds/*/xdomain-vpaid.html does work.
