Notes

The filter ||damoh.welt.de^$media,redirect=noopmp4-1s,domain=welt.de works for me

[okiehsch]

That filter breaks the video playback on my end only the audio still works.

That filter breaks the video playback on my end only the audio still works.

Now i can reproduce. Its because Firefox 67.0 disable Autoplay by default now. The ad only appears when autoplay is disabled. My filter breaks the video playback when autoplay is enabled but its works when autoplay is not enabled.

[okiehsch]

Hm, the ad appears on my end with auto play enabled and the filter breaks the video playback no matter what, tested with Chromium and Firefox.
I don't see a way to disable the pre-roll ad without breaking the player at the moment.

[kulfoon]

No ads here (Firefox & Opera).

[okiehsch]

I need a german IP to reproduce the ads.

[kulfoon]

I already did use german IP before creating my comment above.
I've checked again now on a different german IP and still no video ads.
This is the proxy I've used: 194.25.183.3:39662
Can you share the proxy you used, I'll check if can reproduce with your proxy, and you can check if you reproduce with my proxy as well.

[okiehsch]

I used
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hola-free-vpn-proxy-unblo/gkojfkhlekighikafcpjkiklfbnlmeio?hl=en
I also am pretty sure that the OP is from Germany.

I get ads with your proxy 194.25.183.3:39662

[kulfoon]

Have tried several more times with 194.25.183.3:39662 and 195.201.227.202:8080 and finally I've randomly reproduced but can very rarely reproduce like 1 per 10 visits.

Then have tried the addon okiehsch : https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/5726#issuecomment-498062402 suggested and can reproduce every time.

Don't know why and what't the difference between a typical proxy (my proxy were described as "High anonymous") and this kind of addon.

okiehsch : https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/5726#issuecomment-497979974 : That filter breaks the video playback on my end only the audio still works.

Yes, for me too.

Yes for me too now. I'm tried again and get the same results now. It's impossible for me to block this ad without breaking the Video player.

@okiehsch Can you test this filter?
welt.de##+js(abort-on-property-read.js, funkotron.config.switches.StickyVideoRewrite)

by mistake I accessed with my real ip, and I can no longer see pre-roll ads, even if I use a German ip

[okiehsch]

Works on my end using a german IP, nice find.

[lain566]

@okiehsch If the filter does not break anything, can you add it to the list?

and can you check this site? I think the website is broken
https://www.queerpride.de/maenner-leggings-der-modetrend-fuer-selbstbewusste-maenner-176946

[okiehsch]

Will do and yes that website is completely broken.

[okiehsch]

The article is marked as an advertorial, but the cosmetic filter hides basically the whole website, so I think removing it is the correct call.
