This patch works wonderfully Crunchyroll.com (anime videos) which would normally show 3 ads in a single episode. Now it just skips them. I copied the host file and added it to my computer so it would skip the ads on my desktop too.

Can anyone else use this patch with Lost.fm or Ampache Mobile? I can't stream from either (Pre 2) using this patch but my Pixi+ can.

Has this patch been updated for 3.0.4? I see it in my preware but can't remember how to test it.

hey there, first off..great patch! After the update for 3.0.4 this no longer blocks ads on justin.tv, twitch.tv etc. Any way to update this? I would definietly chip in.

the list itself is the same as from 3.0.2; in fact the .patch itself isn't changed. Which would lead to believe it's a change in how the flash works in 3.0.4 or where that particular website gets the ads from

Is it possible to edit the hosts file after ad blocker has added its entries? I can open and edit (remove one entry) using Internalz Pro, but when I try to save the file Internalz locks up at "Saving...0%".
