#453 set-image-blocker for flash video (flv)
Some flash video players don't like it when you block the ads they try to play before the main content, so I came up with the following addition to my action file:
{+handle-as-image -filter +set-image-blocker{http://my.website/blocked.flv}}
/.*\.flv($|\?)
It would be nicer, IMO, to have a short flv animation like this built into privoxy instead.
(BTW, if anyone's curious, I created my own little animation "blocked.flv" by using ffmpeg to convert an animated gif:
ffmpeg -i purple_green_dot.gif -r 5 blocked.flv
)

Thanks. A good idea, and hopefully some day it will get in.
cool.. hopefully someone can expand this to identify pre-roll, interstitial, and post-roll ads from the playlist, be that xml or otherwise, and replace with millisecond playtime FLV or MP4
Change your copyright of your FLV to CC then upload it to archive.org -- they'll pick up the bandwidth bill for adblocking. And possible create a genre of blocked content replacement widgets ;) if local flv is not an option
nobody? some bugs in the openID system
