Websites using SSAI (server side ad injection) #1905

as I can see it's about uplynk streaming (SSAI), so ... it seems nothing to do |
Something like this |
an idea from ABP: |
Isn't that the same as |
They suggest to rewrite the URL without blocking the request -- |
So far I haven't been able to investigate any of the cases, they all require to create an account, and it seems one need to be in the US. For example, the URL here I get "Access forbidden" and the page renders badly. |
Same here, they purposefully deface the page upon detecting the IP being outside of the US. |

As per the comment#11 it does. |

They both use uplynk, wouldn't that make them both the same test case ? Also - https://adblockplus.org/development-builds/rewriting-url-instead-of-blocking |
Strangely, they appear to have stopped using uplynk. At the moment, I cannot find something that uses the uplynk player, and ads are skipped. I guess this issue should be closed? (It doesn't really feel like my issue, so I shall leave it up to others discretion.) |
@ZaphodBeebblebrox I can confirm: no uplynk at all |
6abc still using uplynk, and $rewrite filter is working only for chrome, firefox getting a black screen video (as reported here). Probably it's the same issue uBo has with xhr redirections on FF. |
They saw ABP's new directive and reacted, they will come up with something else. Don't expect it to be one and done. |
I have closed/merged all other issues with sites using SSAI. These websites are using SSAI

I got one more report, it has New Zealand GeoLock and requires account. I got 403 even with a VPN, but from network requests, I can see it requests manifest from Unicorn Media (owned by Brightcove), so I assume it is server side ads insertion as well.

This is a real problem. I spent a couple hours trying out the URL rewrite with adblock plus and while the filter works, I can't block the ads. Could someone explain how this should work? You can bypass the geo block with VPN and the "unlocked" videos have the same problem on investigationdiscovery.com so you don't need a TV account or anything. |

is Crackle using SSAI now? I seem to be getting ads |
What's the current situation, is there anything that can be done to This is trailer which doesn't require an account to watch. It shows an ad too.

Edit: with latest update of uBO (from version 1.49.3.116), these filters work for me without breakages: discoveryplus.com##+js(json-prune, data.attributes.ssaiInfo.forecastTimeline data.attributes.ssaiInfo.vendorAttributes.nonLinearAds data.attributes.ssaiInfo.vendorAttributes.videoView data.attributes.ssaiInfo.vendorAttributes.breaks.[].ads.[].adMetadata data.attributes.ssaiInfo.vendorAttributes.breaks.[].ads.[].adParameters data.attributes.ssaiInfo.vendorAttributes.breaks.[].timeOffset)
discoveryplus.com##+js(xml-prune, xpath(//*[name()="MPD"]/@mediaPresentationDuration | //*[name()="Period"][./*[name()="BaseURL" and contains(text()\,'dash_clear_fmp4')]]), , .mpd) As far as I see, the structures of discoveryplus-sites are quite the same so it might solve most other cases too. |
@stephenhawk8054 Sorry I was slow to respond :) Yeah seems to work just fine (checked with those updated filters). Also works for normal episode: (Free, but requires an account). |
uBO's tools to handle these issues have improved so no point to have this open. If there are still unfixed sites, please file a separate report about them: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues |
I saw that this longstanding issue was closed. I checked to test to see if it was really fixed and most seem to be fixed. But I found one that still has ads: |
@terrorist96 Please open a report here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues |
