what's up with vidzi? (1652 views, 57 replies)

The vidzi links are looking mighty weird today. Any idea what happened? It's looking like you have to upgrade to watch now????? Any clue?

The vidzi links look normal to me. Are you logged in?

I get a popup that says vidzi wants to send notifications. If I click ok I can watch it if I click no it the pic fades & freezes. <br>

Thanks <br>

I don't know virus software you're using, or if it has upgraded, or what browser and if that's upgraded, but my virus software and browser upgraded a wee while back and prevents me from streaming any hosts where there is a lot of pop under windows for bitcoin mining. <br> <br> Vidzi is one of them. It allows me to see the links, but gives me an error message. <br> <br> I can disable it, but I don't. <br> <br> I have found, however, that streaming from an embedded window is a completely different story and completely circumvents the pop under windows, so that can be accomplished (on my smart phone anyhow). <br> <br> That may or may not be useful to you. I hope it is. :)

Please excuse my ignorance but, what exactly is bitcoin mining anyway?

if you have a ad blocker it will not let you watch a movie ,Just pause your ad blocker and then you can watch the movie .I found that out <br>

I tried Vidzi.tv and like I said , you have to pause your ad blocker to play the movie on the link .I un paused it and now it plays with my ad blocker on ,but click the notice button Ok and then your off to watch vidz.tv link <br>

Adblock Plus seems to work good, at least for me it does, it allows you to set up so the windows close down before they load anything, still get a window open up but adblock closes it down before anything on the page loads...perhaps that can be useful to some people. <br> <br> I was having great troubles with my anti-virus program, randomly and suddenly blocking me from any watching of links, even blocked me from two-movies saying "content on this site might be prohibited on your network" i got so annoyed my virus program seemed to be sucking off my internet provider i thought fook it and took off my anti-virus program. <br> <br> I do not promote this one little bit but i've had no trouble since i took the risk, i have good adblockers for this site, just random sites that are not blocked will be a major issue with no anti-virus, as in my experience nowaday's good blockers will stop an attack, virus programs now are just the extra layer of defence...my own opinion really...however if anyone knows a good free anti-virus that does not fall to corporate scum, i'd be happy to be further protected :D

ok everyone I figured out what the issue was haha funny. I have privacy badger, and somehow my settings were changed to block vidzi player, and well basically everything vidzi. No clue how my settings changed but it was totally blocking everything. Which is kinda awesome but only when I want it blocked. So ty for all the advice. And I highly recommend privacy badger!

uBlock Origin is the best, no question, it's massively customisable, you can block ads yourself easily, and it uses the lists from AdBlock Plus extension so no need for that one, and also the privacy lists from Disconnect so you don't need that extension either. <br> uBlock Origin has now been ported over to Edge too so you can use it on all major browsers <br> <br> You should not use AdBlock Plus anymore because it was bought some time ago by advertisers, and they feed adverts from Jezebel site, which they whitelist, so you get their ads only. <br> <br> As for vidzi, it has been broken for a while for me with cross-site errors but has started working again in past 2 days since they updated the player. <br> <br> DO NOT turn your adblocking software off, EVER, it is ONLY safe to use video sites with uBlock Origin, anybody that tells you to do this is an advertiser or an idiot <br>

the links of vidzi on the tv show of Hawaii five-o, are showing porno ads . and they run for 6 mins or so. and no way of stopping it. not really good if you have underage children on here wanting to watch shows. just a heads up. maybe some virus could have got in when someone uploaded links.

Well since everyone is putting out there about what they use I guess I'll join the party. I use Chrome browser with Adblock Plus, Ublock Origin, Ghostery, Antiminer and Touch VPN. I NEVER get any ads at all. Hope this may help someone. Hope y'all have a lovely day!

Yah, NEVER click accept in the little bubble that pops up at the address bar asking to allow notifications on any site. It usedd to be a useful feature and was honest, but is now being used by ad companies. What happens now is if you accept you can get ads from that site whenever your browser is open, whatever other site you may be on. A good blocker will hide them, but to remove the notification permission you have to go into browser settings. <br> <br> Oh and also don't use two adblockers - lol. They WILL interfere with each other and actually allow popups that would have been blocked. More is not better. Less is better. Two blockers will really slow your browsing down, also. I have had customers with sooo much security that the issues they had were caused by just that fact...and when they had problems they would just add even more security and wonder why things never improved. If you GOTTA use anything more than Windows security essentials (and 99% of people don't need to), be sparing.

Just sharing my 2 cents worth here ... I never use goo gle anymore. I hate trackers. I use Opera for streaming sites, Comodo Dragon for normal use. Ad blockers are - Ghostery, Disconnect, Adblock (not plus), UBlock, and for miners I have No Coin. I usually never have an issue playing vidzi but prefer vidlox as it's quicker.
