When AdBlock is active I can not play videos on the Foxnews.com and some other sites.
Is there a solution?

   Hello James,

   Can you please:

   1. Click the AdBlock button and select Options, then click SUPPORT. Next to "Have our team requested some debug info?" click here. Paste the text from the box into this discussion.
      
   2. Click the FILTER LISTS tab and then click update now. Does that change anything?
      
   3. If the problem persists, uncheck all the lists on the filter lists page and reload the page where you’re seeing the problem. Does that change anything?
      
   4. If unchecking all the filter lists fixes the problem, re-enable the lists one by one, reloading the page where you’re seeing the problem after each. (Make sure to wait for AdBlock to fetch the list before reloading the page.) Which list causes the problem to happen again?
      
   5. If unchecking all the filter lists did not fix the problem, try the same thing with your browser extensions: Disable all of them, then re-enable the extensions one by one, reloading the problem page after each. Which extension causes the problem to happen again?

   Hi,
   I am using MacBook Pro.
   The only extension I have​ is AdBlock.
   In the Filter List the only things checked are the "recommended" AdBlock
   custom filter and the EasyList. When I unchecked the "easy list" I saw the
   video but the ads came back.

   I think the easiest thing for you to do is go to foxnews.com and try to
   watch a video, you will see what I mean. As long a AdBlock is active the
   videos will not play.​

   Hi Almog,

   If you're on a site that's refusing to show videos if AdBlock is installed, please follow the instructions in this Knowledge Base article about websites detecting AdBlock and let us know how it goes!

   A quick alternative is just to disable AdBlock on that site. Click the AdBlock button and select Don't run on pages on this domain, and then click Exclude.

   I get an error message, Safari cannot open this page.

   Hi Almog,

   Hm, that's strange. Can you please attach a screenshot that shows the error you're getting?
