For the last couple of months, on my new PC, I have been unable to view "some" videos on different websites.
I have an HP Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS. I'm using 1.9.9.97 current NoScript version.
The video I'm trying to watch currently is located at this URL:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4255898/aqua ... t_id=86856
NoScript shows 5 scripts:
foxnews.com
recaptcha.net
baynote.net
revsci.net
addthis.com
...Of course, I allowed "foxnews.com", but that did not allow the video to show. Next I tried allowing all the rest EXCEPT for addthis.com and recaptcha- but to no avail.
I then tried the following:
(1) I disabled AdblockPlus, but the video would still not work.
(2) I disabled NoScript...AND the video worked!
QUESTION:
Is there something I need to check or uncheck in the NoScript Options to correct my problem?

Re: Unable to view some website videos
Maybe. I'm able to view that video using NoScript default settings plus temporarily allowing:IMB4U wrote:Is there something I need to check or uncheck in the NoScript Options to correct my problem?

I'm using the latest development build, but it's unlikely you need to install that to fix your problem. I suggest you reset your NoScript Options with its Reset button. (You may want to export your whitelist first if there's anything in it you want to restore later.)

Hi, Allen!
You're not going to believe this, but after seeing your post, I was going to reset NoScript...then I decided to try allowing the different scripts, again, on that video. AND...this time, when I allowed "revsci.net", the video actually worked!
Honestly, I can't give you any explanation for that, but I'm very glad for your help.
I will, however, remember your advice about resetting NoScript if I encounter this problem on some of the other websites that I have been having problems with or simply retry allowing the scripts several times if need be on those sites! Again, thank you for setting me back on the right path!!!
