[Resolved] Video not displayed

When NoScript is running, videos on the Metro site don't display and the message "No hotlinking please" appears instead, as on this page:

http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/25/want-unli ... s-4810163/

Anyone know what's causing this?

Admittedly, the page is still a mess without NoScript running but at least the video sort of displays.

Sorry about that. The link is
http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/25/want-unli ... is-4810163
but it looks like they've fixed whatever the problem was now.

Working for me, in both Flash & HTML5.

In (NoScript default mode, via Reset), the clip (hosted, linked from Youtube) shows up immediately (because ytimg.com is Allowed by default) & that is all that is needed in this case. So no need to specifically whitelist anything here.

So I'm not sure offhand why you're seeing what you're seeing?

As a test, create a new, clean Profile.
Install only NoScript & test?

Try the lastest #dev build, 2.6.8.36rc1 & see if that makes a difference for you, http://noscript.net/getit#devel ?


> "No hotlinking please"

Wonder what's generating that message?

You're where, the UK?

If you look at the post above yours you'll see that I said " it looks like they've fixed whatever the problem was now."
Thanks for checking it out, though!
