false positive - cdn.bluebillywig.com & vms.bluebillywig.com

[ikheetjeff]

The URLs below are causing the player to stop functioning on various Dutch regional news websites. As far as I can tell, bluebillywig.com is purely a player provider, and for example, ads are loaded externally before the player starts.

I'm convinced that these two URLs are therefore false positives and should not be blocked.

• cdn.bluebillywig.com
• vms.bluebillywig.com

On the website rtvutrecht.nl, you can see that the player no longer loads at all and only a black box remains:

In the Netherlands, all regional news websites use the same backend provided by Regiogroei.nl. Due to this block, the player no longer works on all of these websites:

- ustad.nl  
- rijnmond.nl  
- gld.nl  
- rtvdrenthe.nl  
- rtvnoord.nl  
- omroepzeeland.nl  
- 1limburg.nl  
- oost.nl  
- west.nl  
- rtvutrecht.nl  
- omropfryslan.nl  
- denhaagfm.nl  
- nieuwsplein33.nl  
- bingofm.nl

When you only whitelist cdn.bluebillywig.com, each website loads its own bbvms.com URL (e.g., rtvutrecht.bbvms.com or rijnmond.bbvms.com).

However, all of these are CNAMEs pointing to vms.bluebillywig.com, which seems like a more logical domain to remove from the blocklist. Let me know if you need me to provide more information on this.

I do think it's important that stats.bluebillywig.com remains blocked.
