Description

Same as in #25709 which should be reopened as it was closed due to admin abuse and igoring logs and screenshots sent in

100% reproducible for 3+ years in both Ublock Origin and Ublock Origin Lite can't watch any show as it will break instantly or in a few minutes to a few hours as seen in screenshots attached already

Other extensions used

No other ad blockers as stated in #25709

Are you opening the site in a new fresh profile yet?

[Chasapple4]

Why have you ignored what I said already? Same with the screenshot and logs that I sent
A private window is the same as a fresh profile when you have never used the site in one of the browsers ever, and that browser has no built in ad blocker (just a basic tracking blocking which doesn't break the site)

I have also noticed the Edge version is behind the version in the Chrome web store

[stephenhawk8054]

Currently I don't care about your logs or screenshots. We are trying to have a homogeneous/uniform environment first. Then logs and screenshots come after that.

A homogeneous/uniform environment means a new profile first.

[Chasapple4]

A new profile has nothing do with this issue at all if you just ignore the fact that this is first time use with any ad blocker with this browser and it is in a private window so impossible to have any cache or cookies or even history for the site.

aka it is a the same as a new profile every time I use the site being that I only use it in a private window

Also the logs and screenshots show that the UbLock Lite is what is breaking the site, in that browser have only used the site in a private window (so it has never had any cache or history or cookies), yet that was ignored still leaving end users with a non working site (I already know Ublock Origin breaks the site and must have it disabled for it, been like that for 3+ years in another browser on 2 different machines), Edge's tracking blocking has never broken the site when I tried it over the past 3+ years to test the CPU and RAM usage of the site in a private window.

Test these filters

pluto.tv##+js(json-prune-fetch-response, adBreaks.[].startingOffset adBreaks.[].adBreakDuration adBreaks.[].ads adBreaks.[].startTime, , propsToMatch, /session.json)
pluto.tv##+js(json-prune-fetch-response, adBreak adBreakLocations, , propsToMatch, /session.json)

[Chasapple4]

Test these filters

pluto.tv##+js(json-prune-fetch-response, adBreaks.[].startingOffset adBreaks.[].adBreakDuration adBreaks.[].ads adBreaks.[].startTime, , propsToMatch, /session.json)
pluto.tv##+js(json-prune-fetch-response, adBreak adBreakLocations, , propsToMatch, /session.json)

Would those go into the sites to not filter? in Lite

[stephenhawk8054]

In uBO, not uBOL.

[Chasapple4]

Does no good in Edge as I only have uBOL installed since uBO will been gone in the coming months

uBOL is stuck on version 2024.10.14.189 as that is what Edge has in the Edge extension store
yet Chrome extension store has 2024.10.20.869

[stephenhawk8054]

Well then you need to wait for anyone else who can test in uBO. Good luck.

[Chasapple4]

Feels like part of what I typed has been ignored even tho it is relevant to the issue

[Chasapple4]

Well then you need to wait for anyone else who can test in uBO. Good luck.

I already stated that it has been broken in Ublock Origin for years and I have had to turn off UBo for the site in order to play any content or to not have it drop a few minutes later

[stephenhawk8054]

I mean, we need anyone to test the above filters. I don't care about you having the issues over 10 years or not. That information is useless.

If you cannot test the above filters, you need to wait for anyone who can test, that's it.

[Chasapple4]

Those filters will be worthless for anyone using a Chromium based browser soon since Google is dropping and testing disabling of v2 extensions (full v2 dead I think is mid next year), why I installed UBoL in Edge, I have both in Vivaldi and have UBo disabled for pluto.tv to be able to watch any channel with it it dropping or failing to play.

Pluto.tv as I said does strange things with how they stream content

[stephenhawk8054]

If those filters work after testing, it will be added for both uBO and uBOL.

[Chasapple4]

Not working, tho is there a url that I need to add to custom filter?

[stephenhawk8054]

Can you screenshot "My filters" pane?

[Chasapple4]

my-ublock-static-filters_2024-10-25_18.35.04.txt
A few in the list are for blocking exploits of a zero day in Chromium and Webkit (UBo has been blocking the exploit)

[stephenhawk8054]

Then I can't help more. You need to wait for any volunteers who can reproduce the issue and is willing to fix it. Good luck.

[Chasapple4]

There is to much to screenshot, why I put in the logs above

[Chasapple4]

@gorhill I have been able to reproduce it for years with both UBo and recently with UBo Lite

[gorhill]

I know, you have said this many times. The bottom line is simple: if we can't reproduce the issue, we can't investigate what is causing the issue.

[Chasapple4]

Given logs and screenshots (both were ignored even after they were asked for), this issue can be reproduced 100% of the time for many years.

Should not be closed as both break the site, I am not the first on the web to report this bug, just first on the github

[stephenhawk8054]

if we can't reproduce the issue, we can't investigate what is causing the issue.

If you cannot understand this sentence, there's nothing we can do. We cannot investigate just based on logs or screenshots (and you ignoring all other questions from us).

Logs and screenshots are just to assist the investigations. If we cannot reproduce it in our own devices, we cannot pull the fix from nothing. <- How many times should we repeat for you to understand this? We are not magicians
