Test again in a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings.

Test again in a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings.

Thanks - just tried that - no difference unfortunatley. Apologies - I should have said originally, I forgot to mention that the issue ONLY happens when you're using AirPlay to view on another device. Otherwise it still works.

Also, it seems to work with some of the live event streams, but not on catch up content.

Video starts playing successfully with ads blocked.
Go to Apple screen mirroring settings and cast to Apple TV (AirPlay)
Video audio continues playing, however the overlay I described is now applied. So you have audio, but no video.

Video starts playing successfully with ads blocked.

I guess it's on your desktop

Go to Apple screen mirroring settings and cast to Apple TV (AirPlay)

what device are you talking about ? without ALL the details we can not investigate your issue (or tell you if we have all the necessary stuff / devices to test it)

[jackarandah]

Sorry, yes, this is using Google Chrome on Desktop (tested with new browser profile with no other extensions already), on Mac OS 14.5, MacBook Air, casting to an Apple TV 4K.

Sorry I'm not a software developer - happy to provide any further info you need.

I'll convert the issue to discussion - maybe someone will have such devices (mac + apple tv) and will be able to reproduce the issue.
