[Chrome] Midroll adds are getting through when vaft script is disabled. #204

Closed Divzed closed 1 year ago

I tried to run TTV LOL PRO v2.1.0 with default proxy (chrome.api.cdn-perfprod.com:4023) and disabled vaft script as recommended. When I disabled vaft script, midroll ads started getting through. So I re-enabled vaft script and ads disappeared completely. The disadvantage of Vaft Script + TTV LOL PRO v2.1.0 are long buffering times (sometimes infinite) when entering live channels or even VODs for some reason.

What's the user country it shows on the extension popup? Is it your location or RU/AZ/...?

I don't know what popup are you talking about and cannot find any info about location in the extension itself, even when copying debug info.

That's strange, on my TTV LOL PRO version from Chrome Web Store I don't have this indicator at the top. zaf2342 But proxy seems to work. zaq234

Then you're not using 2.1.0

Then you're not using 2.1.0

So what is it then, if not 2.1.0? uyt655

Try disabling other extensions but you have a conflict somewhere.

You are right, it was conflict between VAFT script and TTV LOL PRO. Now it shows popup. qwer123 But the problem is, sooner or later ads will come through when vaft is disabled. I tested it yesterday.

Just once you get an ad check on the extension popup status and report back here the info it shows. Watching your console log you've been more than an hour watching that streamer without any ad.

Quick reminder to not let your player pause/stop. That can cause not getting a free slot and fallbacking to your normal network and get ads.

Log was with enabled vaft entire time.

This log was with enabled vaft entire time.

Still, you proxied more than 600 weavers. That's a lot of minutes proxied.

This may be big issue because sometimes I pause/stop player for 3sec to fix twitch random audio bug/distortion that exists for years and I believe it is on the twitch end. The only way to fix it is to pause and resume stream.

That's not something I can control, so perhaps donate for private proxies access or host your own. Also I don't have that audio issue, it's weird.

I'm still getting ads with disabled vaft script. zaq2 zaq1 Also getting bombarded like x10 per channel with error #2000 (afternoon EU timezone). When entering channels or even in the middle of watching. Probably because slots are full, overloaded. zaq3 I guess TTV LOL PRO + Vaft Script is the only solution for now.

The loadbalancer you had connection to is being under maintenance due to an IP change for my provider. You're not being helpful not saying that it worked for a while for example :)

I invite you to use VAFT and stop using TTV LOL PRO. Both solutions at the same time won't do shit.

It has to do something, error #2000 issue disappears completely + not a single pre-roll, mid-roll ad from what I noticed. TTV LOL PRO works fine in the middle of the day (EU) for most time and gets really bad afternoon (today/yesterday and days ago). Using only vaft without TTV LOL PRO doesn't work at all in my case, ads are getting through almost all the time.

That's when the US base users come to play. Almost half of the extension downloads are from US users so... Check quote, I already gave you a solution. I can't do anything more, I don't have Bezos money to tank 1000 proxies and make a super reliable infrastructure.

And again, using VAFT with TTV LOL PRO doesn't help. I refuse to try helping you if you don't disable third party Twitch Adblockers. It's a waste of time.
