Video playback broken on CBC website

[zerodistraction]

Encountered:

Video playback does not work with the CBC's HTML video player.

E.g.,

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto-police-investigating-jian-ghomeshi-allegations-1.2820337

Settings:

Nope (default)

Safari 9.0.3 | OS X 10.11.3.

Workaround

Pause or whitelist the entire cbc.ca domain.

Just confirming this problem. Seems to be related to COMSCORE beacons:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://b.scorecardresearch.com/beacon.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof advertising_zone != 'string'){
    var advertising_zone = '';
}
COMSCORE.beacon({c1:2,c2:3005684,c3:"",c4:escape(window.location.href),c5:"CBC.ca-CanadianNewsSportsEntertainmentKidsDocsRadioTV",c6:advertising_zone,c7:escape(window.location.href),c8:escape(document.title),c9:escape(document.referrer),c15:""});
</script>

Console throws error with ReferenceError: Can't find variable: COMSCORE

You can whitelist the whole domain, but that's not the most desirable solution. Granted, at least Nope is a CB for OS X that allows you to whitelist domains...
