I confirm that this issue is caused by that Chrome bug.
The files https://m.v.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml and http://adm.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml are blocked by following filter in EasyList, preventing further requests to those domains:
||fwmrm.net^$~object-subrequest,third-party
As you can see, this filter is actually limited to non-object requests only. However, with Chrome 38 (Beta) requests that were previously reported with the type object are now reported with the type other. I guess the best we can do here, to work around that bug, would be to consider all requests reported with the type other as requests of the type of object on Chrome 38.
However, with Chrome 39 (Canary) things get even worse. Also images and stylesheets are reported with the type other there. So lets hope that the bug will be fixed in Chrome 39 before it is released.

For reference, the issue that was temporarily reproducible on the Canary build, about also images and stylesheets reported with type other, is gone and didn't make it into any Chrome release.
However, the original issue, about object requests reported with type other, still persists and needs to be addressed for Chrome 39, see #1496.
with the exceptions the video plays correctly
