Can you provide detailed steps on how to reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to Thunderf00t page on YouTube
  2. Find video "Feminism versus FACTS (RE Damsel in distress)"
  3. Play video

What should happen when you do the above steps
Video should play with sound and video

What actually happened?
Sound only - picture is black rectangle

Do you have any other comments? If you can, can you please attach a screenshot of the bug?

This started happening after the recent update to Yosemite and Safari version 8.0. I've noticed it on other videos, not only YouTube videos. Issue goes away when I disable AdBlock. Most videos still run fine with AdBlock enabled. I updated to the most recent version of AdBlock but this didn't solve the problem.

See attachment.

If unchecking all filter lists fixes the problem, which one filterlist must you check to cause the problem again after another restart?
