VMAP redirect resource

[Alex-302]

Current VAST redirect resource cannot be applied in case of using VMAP:

You can test here(French IP is required)

I don't think this can be handled by a $redirect rule. The problem with VMAP is that it contains links to legitimate videos URLs AND the built-in VAST content. In order to get rid of ads, you need to remove VAST from content, but keep video URLs.

Try replacing it with an empty VMAP using $replace rules, does it help?

One moment

[Alex-302]

Yes. At least on this site.
||v.fwmrm.net/ad/g/1?*&vpaid=on;$replace=/(<vmap:VMAP[\s\S]*?>)[\s\S]*<\/vmap:VMAP>/\$1<\/vmap:VMAP>/,domain=canalplus.com

[ameshkov]

Let's add a VMAP $redirect then, please come up with a proper description of this redirect resource and its syntax.

here are two HARs - before and after replacing

noopvmap-1.0
Redirects request to an empty VMAP response.

Example:

||example.org^$xmlhttprequest,redirect=noopvmap-1.0
?
After replacing: <vmap:VMAP version='1.0' xmlns:vmap='http://www.iab.net/vmap-1.0'></vmap:VMAP>

[ameshkov]

Yeah, good
