Block Audio/Video from playing in pages clicked by the plugin

Block Audio/Video from playing in pages clicked by the plugin

[dhowe]

Currently we are attempting to cancel all requests that we identify as audio/video/itunes/etc, but this needs much more thought/work

[mushon]

why not have js simply delete any embed / object / video / audio tag from the pages within the hidden iframes? Can this cascade into the iFrames within those hidden iFrames?

[dhowe]

"[W]hy not have js simply delete any embed / object / video / audio tag from the pages within the hidden iframes"?

Easier said than done I think... Do we have any example of a plugin that does this? Certainly there are flashblockers, but we've also talked about wanting 'grab' animated ads of different types for the adview... I'm currently using regexs to cancel these (sub)requests, but they simple/stupid at the moment, and things get through (clearly, see issue #16)...

[dhowe]

need a test-case for this

[dhowe]

This should be fixed (once and for all) by disallowing plugin permissions on the (click) page-worker

[mushon]

Cool, does your code also prevent html5 video and audio there?

[dhowe]

good point -- we'll have to test this...

[dhowe]

closing for now, can re-open if we find another case

Here's another case:
http://bellroy.com/wallets/travel-wallet?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=Display%20|%20AU&gclid=CJaUoZSJlsMCFYcsvQod2jUAVA

Appears to be caused by 'jwplayer' triggering html5 video:

<div class="jwplayer aspectMode playlist-none jw-user-inactive" id="product-gallery-player" tabindex="0" style="width: 100%; display: inline-block; opacity: 1; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">

[dhowe]

As is the one above (html5-video):
https://www.mynotanglebrush.com/?MID=6159551

<div id="video"><div id="video-video1199" class="video-js vjs-default-skin vjs-playing" width="290" height="215" style="width: 290px; height: 215px;">

[dhowe]

This can now be easily reproduced by loading/importing: lib/test/single-audio-test.json

[dhowe]

Fixed via a regular expression hack, should revisit this, but closing for now...
