Well, that's good to know. If you need actual tech support on disabling the problem, maybe contact the maker of said ad blocker, because the site technical staff probably won't assist (and probably can't either) in the use of a third-party plug-in that is hurting their revenue stream.
The Gamespot video player has been completely unusable for ages for me because of whatever scripts and ads they have running in front of that thing.
The key now will be finding out what exactly the thing is that's being blocked. If any of the staff could help us out with that it would be greatly appreciated. (@edgework)
I think the problem started at around Day 2 of this year's GotY extravaganza.
Edit: Watching video on html5 player with ublock and works.if you want to use html5 you may need to disable ublock select the html5 player, play the video and refresh.
I think disabling the blocker on this domain (if uBlock has that option) would probably just solve it. Considering you're a premium member that wouldn't be a problem.
For our videos, you might have to disable it, then after the video loads, try enabling it again, and it should work. uBlock is being overly restrictive of certain cookie writing scripts. Trying to figure out how to fix it permanently.
@jslack: Yeah disabling uBlock fixes the problem. I'm working for a company who's website that faced a similar problem but have no clue how the front-end guys fixed the issue. Just said that I should report it incase there are any similar reports.
@wikitoups I wasn't able to select any of the video options. The play button was being blocked so I couldn't select html5/streaming/flash etc.
