countdown does not work (Edge) although in statistic it works

[littbarski]

Hello

we use LeechBlock for long time in our family - thank you again for this!
Now I wanted to try the first time the countdown timer in Edge, but it does only show as 0:00.

I just want to add that in the Statistics, the remaining time is perfectly displays in seconds (also in Edge over the Leechblock menu).

Is there any hint about this perhaps for this case?
(we also made a registry change for not allowing to disable or uninstall the extension, is this the reason?)

Are you saying that the remaining time shows correctly over the toolbar icon, but not in the countdown timer on the page?

[littbarski]

it shows correctly under "Statistics" in the menu. (stats.html) for example I can reload the stats.html with F5 and see the seconds fly.

But neither the toolbar icon nor the normal timer shows anything anytime, always 0:00

Are you using keyword blocking?

[littbarski]

no in this case the only thing in the set is
youtubekids.com
(but not limited to this domain, also other would be the same)

with e.g. 30 Minutes per 24 hours.
"count time...only when" lines both diabled

any idea what I could try or perhaps you have a sample options file that I could try?

[proginosko]

Please export your options to a text file (Options > General > Export Options to Text File) and email it to me at leechblockng@proginosko.com so I can take a closer look.

I just tested the other sets and indeed when I disable the set with the keywords, the timer works fine. So thank you already.
Only: does the timer not work when a set with keywords is active?

[littbarski]

I think I can use LeechBlock nevertheless, I just changed the keywords into domain "keyword" blocks, and just discovered (finally!) that you even can block country domains there.

and in addition... you can use like *.com/*keyword* to exclude it from Google or Bing search, seems to work :)

If you have keywords in your site list, those sites will only be blocked when they contain one of those keywords. So if you're using a time limit, the time remaining will decrease on those sites until it reaches 00:00, but the sites won't be blocked unless a keyword appears. So you can interpret 00:00 as "You've used up your time limit, now your sites will be blocked immediately once a keyword appears."
