Break videos slow to load
I doubt this is just happening to me, but I have to ask anyway: When you click the play button to start a video from Break.com, does it take around 15 or 20 seconds for the video to start? I first noticed this problem a couple of weeks ago, and I assumed its origin was at Break.com and that they surely would fix it soon. However the problem persists. Test it on your end with the following video to see if you're having the same problem as me:
Any info you can provide about this problem would be helpful. A remedy would be even better. Thx.

Retroboy says...Could be you've got some sort of adblocker mechanism that's preventing you from seeing the ad that precedes your actual video? I get a Halo Reach ad and a "your video will begin in 30" message, and then the vid loads promptly when done.
(Sidebar comment: I've stopped watching Break posts because of the ad payload.)

^ Same here, only it's Hawx 2.
Croccydile says...I get the same problem, and yes its probably because of adblock. I don't really care much for a 30 second ad for break videos that are usually 3-5 seconds of useful content. If you load it in another tab in the background it seems to work anyways regardless.
kronosposeidonHa, I never even considered AdBlock as the cause. Still, it doesn't seem to block the pre-roll ads on Yahoo and Dailymotion. Maybe they're next.
Thanks for the help, amigos.
antWhich subscription(s) do you use in Adblock Plus? I don't see that problem.
