Describe the issue

Before each video in this player window opens, as in the screenshot below. The "Пропустить рекламу" ("skip ads") button appears after 20 seconds. After clicking it, this window is disabled for 6 minutes for all videos. uBO disables all other ads in the player except this one!

Versions

• Browser/version: Chrome 68.0.3440.84
• uBlock Origin version: 1.16.14

Settings

• [List here all the changes you made to uBO's default settings]

Notes

I tried to block, but after that the whole player is blocked.
ADguard's fix: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/14951 (not tested)

[BoberMod]

This is loaded before viewing if the advertisement is not skiped

loaded by data:text/javascript;base64

[okiehsch]

Disabling the donation request screen with uBO-filters will also break the video player as far as I can see.

I could remove the annoying audio message accompanying the donation request, not sure if you are bothered by it, I know I am after listening to it a few times.

[BoberMod]

Well, at least something.

[okiehsch]

Removed audio message in uBO-annoyances.

[jspenguin2017]

What about:

smotret-anime.ru##div[style*="opacity: 1; z-index: 9600;"]:style(opacity: 0 !important; pointer-events: none !important;)

[ZaphodBeebblebrox]

To be honest, I am not sure why that works, but it does, so I added it.

[okiehsch]

Does it work if you reload the page?

[ZaphodBeebblebrox]

Yes.

[okiehsch]

I get ads if I delete cookies and reload, so I would not close it until the OP has said it is fixed on his/her end.

@BoberMod if you update uBO-annoyances or add
smotret-anime.ru##div[style*="opacity: 1; z-index: 9600;"]:style(opacity: 0 !important; pointer-events: none !important;)
to your filter list is the issue fixed on your end?

[jspenguin2017]

How is 20 seconds of anti-adblock block screen just an annoyance?

[okiehsch]

It does not block site functionality it just annoyingly delays it. :)

Do you think the blocked audio message is an annoyance? I ask because if we add your filter to uBO-filter all users with a default setup will hear the audio message while the visual adblock message is blocked by your filter.

To be clear, I will add both filters to the same list, assuming they work for the OP, because it makes no sense to split them up from a users perspective.

[jspenguin2017]

Well, it's your call. You really don't get annoyed easily. I'm impressed.

The filter doesn't always work, might need some ND treatment for this one.

[jspenguin2017]

The offending code is just an inline script with base64 encoded payload. Should be rather easy to edit from ND.

[okiehsch]

I am open to arguments, I added the audio-filter to annoyances because at the time there was no working filter for the main issue.
If this anti-adblock message only happens once every browser session I would categorize it as an annoyance, if it happens at the start of every third video I would fix it in uBO-filters.

[jspenguin2017]

this window is disabled for 6 minutes

Considering a video is around 24 minutes, it's more like 3 times per video.

[okiehsch]

Thanks, I missed that, so in that case I will add the fix and the audio-filter to uBO-filters.
Let's just wait for the OP to confirm that it works.

[jspenguin2017]

It does kind of work, but the play button still gets stuck sometimes.
I'll investigate later to find a proper fix.

Meanwhile, can someone figure out what's the current fix in Adguard?

[okiehsch]

Meanwhile, can someone figure out what's the current fix in Adguard?

I think it is not fixed
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/21028#issue-349841364
is still open.

[BoberMod]

@okiehsch, no, this doesn't work and after pressing the play button starts advertising from youtube.
I'm using this https://greasyfork.org/ru/scripts/19993-ru-adlist-js-fixes:

scripts['smotret-anime.ru'] = () => {
        function setCookies() {
            _document.cookie = `watchedVideoToday=1; expires=; path=/`;
            _document.cookie = `watchedPromoVideo=${(new Date()).valueOf()}; expires=; path=/`;
        }
        setCookies();
        setInterval(setCookies, 10000);
    };

But as I understand it, using simple Ublock it can't be done.

[jspenguin2017]

Does this qualify for uBO-Extra or I should just shove it into ND?

[okiehsch]

I don't know what @gorhill thinks about this specific issue.

[jspenguin2017]

Can we revert cd36e9b8b9fe2f12422f990b9ecd5d85006bfbb4 until we are sure that it doesn't break things?

[gorhill]

I don't know what @gorhill thinks about this specific issue.

Doesn't preventing just media from data: URI fix the issue? (along with the filter that was removed above)

||smotret-anime.ru^$csp=media-src *

There is a small delay when clicking playback, but that doesn't seem too bad.

[okiehsch]

````
smotret-anime.ru##div[style*="opacity: 1; z-index: 9600;"]:style(opacity: 0 !important; pointer-events: none !important;)
||smotret-anime.ru^$csp=media-src *
`````
works on my end.
@BoberMod ?

[BoberMod]

@okiehsch, It works. No message asking for donation, no sound, just animation loading ~10 seconds.

[solara322]

again not work

[BoberMod]

Confirm
RU AdList JS Fixes also not working
