On YouTube's Home page on the upper right side of the page there is a image that you click to go to a video that is not being shown, or depending on the version of Firefox you get a video, either way none of it shows up for KM on YouTube, it's missing this...

Here big red question mark in the screenshot where it's suppose to be:

this isn't a km rendering bug. it's a false positive in an adblockplus subscription(i think cedrics).. if you disable adbp, you will see the featured video class.

with abp enabled


with abp disabled


to fix it, add youtube to abp whitelist..either by rightclicking on abp statusbar icon and select disable for this website(or something in that sense)..or manually adding youtube to the white list:

1- open kmeleon profile folder(edit>configuration>profile directory)
2- in there you will find a folder called 'adblockplus'
3- open the adblockplus folder and you will find a file called patterns.ini
4- close k-meleon
5- open patterns.ini in notepad
6- search for 'whitelist'

7- under the white list add a youtube entry:
@@|http://*.youtube.com/

8- save patterns.ini

I also cannot see the item which DasFox mentions. I do not have any add block running. I don't use AddBlockPlus or CSS add blocking. I am using KM 1.6.0a4

I see a single line border display for only an instant during load and then it goes away.

That's funny... While playing around with it, youtube somehow disabled the CSS completely, creating some sort of mobile view! Which only went away after deleting the youtube cookies! Especially the one named something with "VISITOR-INFO". Not sure but I suspect it has to do with that country question they posed me in the beginning, and which needed javascript to disable that message box, but JS I kept blocked

Anyway, after forcing myself to switch JS ON, and toggling the native KM-AdBlock OFF, there appeared a big white space, which has a link to doubleclick.net, the google-youtube ad-company IIRC. No wonder AdBlock blocks it.
But why I still only see a white space after allowing ads, not sure, perhaps because I still have the doubleclick-net cookies blocked permanently? But that wouldnt make much sense for them, they DO want to force their ads on visitors, so no idea. Or perhaps it's due to my old flash9?
Anyway, I'm not eager to see that ad at all

The only thing I have in KM is an Orbit plugin, I don't have any adblock installed that is why I reported it as a bug because it is.


THANKS

What was this reply all about? LOL...

I hope the developers are seeing this beause the 1.6.0 isn't rendering this also, so I really hope this problem is going to be fixed before it comes out...


THANKS

Did you try "Accept all cookies" ?

I don't see any "Accept all cookies" section. In the Preferences - Privacy & Security, this is all I see, "Accept Cookies" section and it's either 'Always' - or 'From the originating website only' and I've tried both of those with no luck.

it's either 'Always'

- that's what I meant. Did you empty the cache & restart KM (& kill the loader, if you use it) before trying next time?

This happens in the 1.6.0 Dev version, has nothing to do with me.

I've cleaned everything and I don't use the loader...

Hi, DasFox,

I now must admit I did not really try any of the remedies I suggested - because that would have implied lowering my defences against ads. I don't see an image or a video there, too.

Now, having tried to change things to really see what you say should be seen, I found out:

here the image/video is missing on ALL browsers I tried: KM 1.60a4, IE8, and a fresh install of KM 1.53.
On the other hand, I DO see something there: A link named "Advertisement" ("Werbung" in the german installations) leading to
wxw.youtube.com/t/ads_preferences (replace the "x")
which is the page where you can edit your prefs concerning youtube/google ads.

Well, I could not test those settings:

Failed to Connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact googleads.g.doubleclick.net.

which, of course, is the effect I desired when adding "127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net" to my C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

And I'm not going to change that.

But, having learnt all this, I do presume that SOME security software/setting on your machine blocks access to doubleclick.net - for K-Meleon. Tried other browsers than Firefox? Tried Firefox recently? If the blocking happens on all Browsers BUT Firefox: do you have NoScript installed there? If so, what happens if you uninstall NoScript?

If nothing of this brings you any further, I give up ...

I only use IE, FF and KM, KM is the only one giving me problems with this...

- not for 2 of the known popular browsers ...

btw, did you try with flashblock disabled?

Maybe this even needs a broader perspective ... firewall, security suite, webWasher, antiSpyWare prog? Any of those blocking doubleclick.net content, with exceptions defined for exactly those images/videos, in a limited group of browsers?

Cheers

Well, I opened the profile folder of KM16a4 and renamed the hostperm.1 to disable it (have a block there for "doubleclick" ad cookies). Restarted browser and disabled also the native AdBlock (F2 > Content Filters > CSS AdBlocking, or in Tools>Privacy>Block Advertisements, about that menu entry I'm not sure if added by myself or native).

Now there is *something* on that corner with a link to doubleclick-ads, a tiny video thumbnail, but its below the text "advertisement", not above, hmm.... Perhaps that's something else, or perhaps the layout was changed, no idea??
