[utreon.com] can't get passed the ads

Unread post by impetus_maximus » 2022-09-10, 18:43

viewing utreon.com videos, the ad plays (time bar doesn't seem to move)
the 'skip ad' button doesn't seem to work. letting the ad play through, then hitting play just plays the same ad again.

the console output was taken from Ian's video

I don't know how this site normally works, but I wasn't able to play any video at all on the site with Pale Moon, whether it was an ad-supported one or not. I tried setting dom.webcomponents.enabled = true in about:config, but it did not help.

On the bright side, all of the videos play just fine (and ad-free) if I put their url in the mpv video player. So there's that. If all you cared about was seeing the videos, you could grab the video url from within Pale Moon and drop it into an mpv command.

andyprough, thanks for the reply. i would like to play the ads to support the creators.
i can't even access the clip URL from 'page info/media'. only the ad's URL shows.
if the site's code is the issue, i would contact Utreon if i had a technical description of what the problem is or a solution.

Your video link above (a 'Forgotten Weapons' talk on a rare Czech CZ-2000 9mm machine-pistol) plays normally for me on my standard Pale Moon setup... and I see no Ads that need to be 'skipped' at all... however my standard setup includes uBlock Origin with several extra filter lists added, and I also use NoScript, again with modified settings.

(Note: NoScript is a non-recommended extension for Pale Moon, but one that I have used continuously for the last decade... so I am happy with NoScript breaking almost every website... in return for me controlling exactly what JavaScript is then loaded by each site... one day maybe I'll get the hang of using ηMatrix instead... sigh! :D)

Regret I haven't had time (yet) to try your link on a clean Pale Moon profile and then just add 'out-of-the-box' uBO only, and then add standard NoScript to see exactly what script is causing the problem.

Oh actually, I just tried it again today and it plays in Pale Moon for me now. I guess the website developers must have fixed something on their end. I did not do anything special - I use eMatrix instead of uBlock and noscript, and I simply allowed the css and scripts and stuff from utreon and it got past the advertisement and played the video this time.
