If it can not detect the video player container well, therefore enable the “Flash Detection” feature in the Turn Off the Lights Options page – Advanced Options – Flash Detection. As a result, this feature will search for all the “object“, “embed“, “applet“, “iframe” elements, and push those elements on top of this dark layer.
However, if for some reason the Turn Off the Lights Browser extension did not detect well the video player on that web page. In addition to enable the Flash Detection feature, try to disable the other browser extensions you are using one by one except Turn Off the Lights.
