Hmm. Did I report to the correct github? I thought this was about Fanboy's filters. I have updated all filter lists and the video still won't show up as long as Fanboy’s Annoyance filter is enabled.

Did I report to the correct github?

Yes, it's the correct repo. ..but as you can tell from the amount of open reports, issues aren't really prioritized anymore, even if the fixes are provided on a silver platter! Take the fix that I suggested in my previous post, and put it into uBO's "My filters".

I added this into My Rules in Ublock

www.escapistmagazine.com https://widget.pico.tools/static/js/bundle.js script allow www.escapistmagazine.com https://widget.pico.tools/widget_frame.html sub_frame allow

The video player loads and plays fine after adding that
