[solved] μBlock blocks too much

Does anybody know how can I stop μBlock from blocking streams like the one on this site: http://www.accuradio.com/indie-rock/ (just click on any station)

I have a fairly basic configuration, no advanced user activated and only the default filters +  "Anti-Adblock Killer | Reek" activated. I'm a firefox user.

I tried to search the request log to find where the audio stream comes from but with no luck. The same site works fine (only the ads are blocked) with Adblock-edge.

I have a fairly extensive configuration of µblock (including the default lists) and streams play fine on my windows box (can't test linux atm), so it's not µblock that blocks it...

As soon as I disable μBlock it works fine... What else can it be?

Re: [solved] μBlock blocks too much

Just tried it (of curiosity) - everything works fine. But you can adjust μBlock according your preferences (under μBlock add-on preference button)

EDIT: I noticed that you can have your regional blocking rules enabled - that cloud be a reason. Addons -> μBlock -> Preferences -> Filter list

I don't have any regional filter.

The culprit seems to be the EasyList filter (from the Ads section). As soon as I uncheck it the stream works. Unfortunately all the ads are also back.

I tried also with a brand new Firefox profile but still the EasyList filter blocks the audio stream.

If someone has any idea on why this happens, please enlighten me.

This also works fine for me. I have Flashblock installed, so I had to manually click on the SWF for http://www.accuradio.com/static/swf/Acc … 0578870934, but the rest of it worked fine.

If you manually whitelist accuradio.com that should allow all the local content but not the ad content.

Are your using freshplayer plug-in? [1]

If so, there was an issue with it which prevented uBlock from working properly. The issue has been fixed by the author. [2]

You made uBlock, didn't you?

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions here! (And, you know, making uBlock.)
