    I'm trying to figure how to block up the popup video ads on bleacherreport. Example:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...los-osos-high-school-latest-comments-reaction

    If you scroll down to the bottom, a pop up will start playing a video. If I do an element picker and pick any of elements for the the video player to block (ie ##.focused.flyin.videoFlyin.atom), the video still plays in the background. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get the video from stop loading.

    I also see a link to bleacherreport.com/js/src/components/molecules/ads.js but I'm not sure what I would add to block this either

    Any assistance will be much appreciated.

    lower right?
    use the picker and select
    ##.focused.flyin.videoFlyin.atom

    or insert
    bleacherreport.com##.focused.flyin.videoFlyin.atom
    into "my filters"

    no video here, may be delivered thru youtube - is blocked here by 3p-script
    use the matrix as advanced user and block youtube

    The problem with blocking the videoFlyin is that it blocks the actual popup player, but the video still plays in the background,

    If I block 3p-script, then the page doesn't load correctly at all. If I block youtube, video still plays

    If I block akamaihd.net the video seems to not play, but how would I add that to My Filters? bleacherreport.com##akamaihd.net doesn't work (I'm just trying to understand how the filter actually works)

    TIA for your help

    The video is delivered via XHR, look in the log and make a rule for the XHR-Request.
