For Ultimate the following domains had to be unblocked

doppler-config.cbsivideo.com
tags.tiqcdn.com (whitelisted in Pro++)

https://www.cbsnews.com/live/

@yokoffing Can't get it to work with DNS without uBlock, not even with OISD (small/big) only (ping @sjhgvr). After pressing the play button the video window stays black. There is a lot of blocking and I'm trying to figure out what needs to be unblocked, so far without success.

https://www.cbsnews.com/live/ needs pubads.g.doubleclick.net

Thanks Stephan, this is then definitely something for the personal whitelist if you also do not use a content blocker.

There always seems to be an issue with CBS News. I had it working perfectly for awhile. Now I'm not sure what's going on, even after disabling browser extension adblock and allowlisting pubads.g.doubleclick.net at DNS-level.

That's almost like the German rtl.de. They have all the trackers and ad networks in use and something is constantly not working and then it does. The plague ...

@yokoffing After you have whitelisted pubads.g.doubleclick.net, you have to wait 10 sec after the video start via the play button, then the stream will start. Probably the time in which the stream advertising is normally played.

CBS News: Did not work on Firefox Nightly, and I haven't tested Firefox stable yet. I was able to get the stream to load fine with Chrome/Edge Dev + no adblock extension + pubads.g.doubleclick.net allowlisted @ DNS level.

PopCulture: Works now on Chrome Dev with no adblocker. Thanks!

Now I'll have to see what's causing issues at the adblock level for these sites.

That's where I am for now.

tags.tiqcdn.com does break a lot of sites when blocked at the browser level. uBO had a long, long list of site exceptions but removed the block all together a few months back.

Update: I got uBO working in other browsers. Looks like Firefox's Strict tracking protection is breaking the stream, both in Stable and Nightly.
