@lukemulks Same issue on last.fm where embedded YouTube player are blocked |
Thanks @srirambv Yeah, the tough thing is that both of those scripts are required for player functionality (outside of ads). It didn't used to be this way, but it appears that the updates from YT in February integrated the ad requests in with the base.js file that YT uses. I included a breakdown of how the ads are integrated into the different YT player scripts within the Youtube.com player here: #7230 The base.js script includes the VAST XML manifest which contains two options for ads:
Both of the above used to be handled as an SDK request made from a separate JS call, but now YT has integrated that directly into the base.js file. There are other dependencies on Youtube.com - but the embedded player appears to only use the base.js and embed-player.js. There's likely another ad piece in the embed-player.js file that we're blocking from the domain-level. I haven't looked into the embedded player as much as I have with the YT.com player, but will take a look at that script and see if I can spot anything. We might be able to make a siteHack for this, to swap a dummy URL in where the ad URLs are (or something along those lines). |
@srirambv dumping this here for reference - no action required.

From what I have seen, the ad's come up when you search for a video and open up the YouTube player. If you directly navigate to YouTube and play a video it is not showing. The FP count is also showing up on the site only when you search for it and navigate to the video file. |
This appears to have been fixed 😄 Closing |
