r5---sn-ci5gup-qxaee.googlevideo.com

Just downloaded list, generated rules and added into hosts file. I see no changes... Did i smth wrong?

Add this new list

r2---sn-8p8v-nn5l.googlevideo.com
r2---sn-8p8v-nn5e.googlevideo.com
r1---sn-8p8v-nn5l.googlevideo.com

r5---sn-vgqskn76.googlevideo.com
r2---sn-b8u-8pml.googlevideo.com
r1---sn-gpv7dned.googlevideo.com

Don't block these:

clients1.google.com -- needed for Chromecast to work
ads.youtube.com -- also needed by Chromecast

doubleclick.net -- don't block the entire domain, some of it is needed for Google image search to work properly

s.ytimg.com -- this is needed for YouTube video thumbnails
s.youtube.com -- same thing

So i added the https://github.com/Ewpratten/youtube_ad_blocklist/blob/master/blocklist.txt blocklist to my unraid docker pihole adlists and it worked fine for a day. Then I updated the gravity again and now I see this under this blocklist:

Anyone else having this issue?

Hello,
airplay stop working, due to block of manifest.googlevideo.com.
It seems like this domain is mandatory for airplay (Mac or IOS device with pinhole ip4 list)
Whitelisting of manifest.googlevideo.com works.

Best regards
Andru

VLC can't play YouTube videos because the domain manifest.googlevideo.com is blocked.
The error message is

Your input can't be opened
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://manifest.googlevideo.com/api/manifest/hls_variant/expire/1639948703/ei/P02_YcCpDcTR2roPsZ6wiAs/ip/114.37.180.251/id/cExnbfD6j7E.1/source/yt_live_broadcast/requiressl/yes/hfr/1/maudio/1/vprv/1/go/1/nvgoi/1/keepalive/yes/fexp/24001373%2C24007246/dover/11/itag/0/playlist_type/LIVE/sparams/expire%2Cei%2Cip%2Cid%2Csource%2Crequiressl%2Chfr%2Cmaudio%2Cvprv%2Cgo%2Citag%2Cplaylist_type/sig/AOq0QJ8wRAIgHcBmq6Y9GvhSTI-YrEj7ubF_BIhMv-U4ubtJ6NlKq74CIFmktvPKUtmZwiXLtNng7br4xFiAcTrOoSmiuItngd1c/file/index.m3u8'. Check the log for details.

Maybe this domain need to be removed?

Hi.
Trying to parse this list into the pi-hole with unbound installed.
https://ewpratten.retrylife.ca/youtube_ad_blocklist/unbound.txt

Upstream dns server is 127.0.0.1#5335 in Pi-hole
After parsing it says in the log:
[i] Target: https://ewpratten.retrylife.ca/youtube_ad_blocklist/unbound.txt
[✓] Status: No changes detected
[i] Analyzed 364 domains, 364 domains invalid!
Sample of invalid domains:
- 127.0.0.1"
- 127.0.0.1"
- 127.0.0.1"
- 127.0.0.1"
- 127.0.0.1"

Hi, I'm using this for DNS66 on Android and it doesn't seem to be blocking youtube ads in my browser. Is there a specific one i should be using? (ipv4, ipv6, domains, etc?) or is the project not updated?

All block files have a last empty line which could cause a malfunction:

The worst case is the following file (DNSMASQ):

server=//

Empty line could be removed with a simple filter:

entries = list(filter(None, entries))

I updated the hosts file on my router but still seeing ads on youtube

Its not a problem on my end because:

• Yes I tried rebooting the router
• I checked some of the domains in the list with dig it returns 0.0.0.0

I added the Pi-hole lists to my Pi-hole. Afterwards I could not delete a file in my google drive until I whitelisted clients.l.google.com. Any thoughts?

This is getting through for me.
