test this filter
||player-feedback-*.glomex.com/pf/$xmlhttprequest,badfilter

@mapx- can you reproduce?
The video plays without issue on my end with Firefox or Chromium using a german IP.

[mapx-]

Yes .. but after many refreshes it's pretty inconsistent

It's why I asked if is working for OP

[okiehsch]

If I add your filter I can reproduce the anti adblock message consistently on my end using Chromium, so that seems to be a no go.

[okiehsch]

Same with Firefox if I use the badfilter I always get the anti-adblock message. Without it the video plays fine.

[mapx-]

Weird, exactly the opposite

[okiehsch]

Looking at it the filter ||player-feedback-*.glomex.com/pf/$xmlhttprequest was added to fix an anti adblock message.
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/5952#issuecomment-516714291 and the following discussion.
It also still works at those merkur.de links in that issue thread on my end.

@lain566 can you reproduce?

[ZaphodBeebblebrox]

If it helps, I tested in in chrome then firefox.
For chrome, my first load of the page triggered the anti-adblock, and all subsequent loads did not, even when I cleared cookies. When I added the badfilter, I consistently triggered the anti-adblock.
For firefox, I did not trigger the anti-adblock without the badfilter, but I did with the badfilter.

[lain566]

@okiehsch I can't reproduce any anti adblock using a german IP.
I can reproduce anti adblock only if I add
||player-feedback-*.glomex.com/pf/$xmlhttprequest,badfilter

[okiehsch]

Thanks.
@katzabrack are you using a default setup?

[mapx-]

I still get (not consistently - tested with german ip too) anti adb stuff.

tested

https://player.glomex.com/integration/1.185.0/iframe-player.html?integrationId=excq22d8j45jjyr8&playlistId=v-bgf7mv01k73d

using these filters seem to fix the issue on my end (and I get no video ad):

*$xhr,redirect-rule=nooptext,domain=player.glomex.com
player.glomex.com#@#+js(set-constant, Math.ceil, trueFunc)

[mapx-]

@katzabrack could you test the filters ?

[katzabrack]

At the moment the videos work without adding the filter. It seems they removed the anti-adblock-script.

[okiehsch]

*$xhr,redirect-rule=nooptext,domain=player.glomex.com player.glomex.com#@#+js(set-constant, Math.ceil, trueFunc)
works fine on my end, I still can't reproduce but if you can feel free to change the fix that way.

[mapx-]

still keeping Math.ceil I got video ad in the last test
