There is the site
If you scroll down the page the script will PLAY video on it with the sound. I can block this video with some extension like ABP, but if I reload the page and scroll it down, there is no video, but the sound still persists.
With the help of NoScript I can block ALL scripts on this page, but I need to block only PLAYER script (eagleplayer-container eagleplayer-loader).
Is there a way to do it?

Do not allow "media" on eaglecdn.com (or just remove all rights from any domain starting with "eagle"). Does that work for you?

If no eagle* are allowed, no video.

Dealing only with eaglepatform.com (because that is what I see first, before any other eagle*), it is not Media that allows or disallows the media playback, but rather Fetch (whatever Fetch is, does?). In order for Fetch to have any bearing, JavaScript also has to be allowed. So with both JavaScript & Fetch you get the media clip. With only JavaScript, you get a "placeholder" (but nothing like NoScript 5's placeholder that actually affords you the ability to play the video clip). With JavaScript & Fetch, you get video playback.

No other eagle* are needed for video playback.


Just what is Fetch?
And why does Media not play in to the playing of "media" content here?

Does NoScript 10 actually have a "real" media placeholder?
Or does that only apply if it is a "Media" block rather then a Fetch block?

If I allow only I do see the player, but get an error and no video.

Fetch is for XHR requests. Used to "fetch" content (any data: text, html, scripts, media, streams, etc.) from a server. When you allow "fetch" for a domain, you are not allowing that domain to fetch stuff from elsewhere, but allowing other domains to fetch from there.

That is indeed good question. Not seeing that happening here though.

Yes, NS does have media placeholder. For video-elements and MediaSource streams. The latest RCs have some fixes in that regard.

No, the placeholders are not for fetch.

Can you show please a screenshot with setting for this page. I cannot stop this video playing.

I think, I had old settings. When I opened NoScript Options and reset "Preset customization (for all the sites sharing a preset)", the "Default" level became the next: so now when I open default site like lenta.ru, I have no video autoplay!
