jwplayer advertising too intrusive

Some sites automatically (e.g. without user acceptance) send video advertising. This take around 20 seconds to load (turning arrow) then 30 s. before the x for closing it appears. I see jwplayer during a short time on the screen. As the flash plug-in is inactivated for this profile I think that it is the Htlm5 video functionality that is used. How can I block, preferably, before loading, this boring and time consuming advertising that probably violate my rights ?

As far as I know from answers to questions in JW player site, it is installed in the server and not in my PC. I have checked in the program list and in the programs directories (32 and 64 bits).

I don't think it is a virus.

The end or arrows key described in Htlm5 do nothing.

I have created a test profile and installed the 2 extensions. It is not perfect : the site complains sometimes that I should inactivate adblock and reload the page or don't send some link that are needed to continue or show the loading video pop-up (with the turning arrow) for a short time without playing it.

I have an other idea to test : Jwplayer try first to use Htlm5 and if not available use Flash. Flash is already inactivated, I may perhaps also inactivate Htlm5 video and sound. How can I do it ?

Load the web page. After the page is loaded, click the down arrow next to the AdBlock icon. Now select Disable on <web site>.

What do you means exactly ? which page ? I come from a main page and I click on a link on it, this show a secondary page and in some cases (not all) the video pub pop-up. I have tried to click on the loading video pop-up (with the turning arrow) that show for a short time (without playing it) in fact too short to click on it to use the Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon. Do you propose that I click on the down arrow of the secondary page ? and disable on the domain part (middle line) and not on the full path ?

Because the war is open between advertising sites and Adblock, I wish to test also inactivating Htlm5 video and sound that is a more final solution.
