CNET TV: Adblock Plus & Firefox with Cnet TV
Adblock Plus & Firefox with Cnet TV
by danielkwood - 6/23/08 3:52 AMOkay, so for the past few weeks I have been abandoning CNET TV mainly because I have not been able to view any videos. The pages load fine and the video player is all there but it is just black, no video and no sound. I haven't had the time to look into the cause of the problem and just as I was about to post a thread asking for help, I figured out the problem. The Adblock Plus extension has been blocking all the videos from playing on the CNET TV site. I disabled Adblock and the videos play fine. But I don't want to stop using Adblock so I have only disable it for the CNET site 
I have Adblock Plus for a while so I don't know why it only just started blocking CNET TV videos recently...random. Anyway, I thought I'd let people know in case they were having the same issues.

Yep,
After a few videos when CNET TV tries to play an ad adblock interferes and thus the site seems to freeze. You should be able to add cnettv.com to your whitelist.

That worked, but

I added the following filters
@@cnettv.com
@@cnettv.cnet.com
and that got CNet.TV working with ABP enabled.
But, I am also having problems with Download.Com media player. Using FF3,Flash10,Vista the only way I can seem to get this to work is to use IETab (IE7 still using Flash9). Also works in Ubuntu,FF3,Flash9.
Off topic, but not sure where else to check/ask question.
