[Bug]: Ads not being blocked while using the " In-Player " adblocker about youtube-music HOT 18 OPEN

I'm going to copy my solution here:

Toggle with blocklists under Blocker in the ad blocker Plugin. Go to Options---> Advanced options---> Edit config.json and change:

			"additionalBlockLists": [],

to

			"additionalBlockLists": [
				"https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/ublock/filters/122_optimized.txt"
			],

and restart the app
That solves the ads issue for me

Adherence to protocol is fine, but don't use it to needlessly burying the issue and solutions to it

did this issue fixed? using 3.3.5 still appeared.

YT has changed the logic around showing ads, please use blocklists mode until we can figure out the issue.

i think i found how to activate this, had to switch to "block list" in the app:
plugins/ad-blocker/block/ then block list
then the line appears in the json and i was able to fill it like explained above.
lets see if works now

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like Ublock Origin uses this service (adtidy.org).

We should add it to the default block list here.

It's an optimized list maintained by AdGuard. It's generally lighter on resources and more up to date than the list featured in the adblockers themselves - since the one I'm using (Fanboy Annoyances) /is/ on that lists, just out of date. Why I prefer them over uBlock Origin's in general

Update

• Blocklist mode is fixed by #1966
• In-Player mode is not fixed yet.

If this is the definitive fix to the issue of ads not being blocked then shouldn't this be pushed in the next update?

I can confirm this is happening on Linux as well:

Ditro: Fedora 39
Architeture: x86_64

Version: 3.3.2

Enabled Plugins:

1. Adblocker (In-Player)
2. Discord Rich Presence
3. Navigation

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. I love using this tool :D

Also have this issue. Swapping between in-player and blocklist does nothing and ads still appear.

OS: Windows 10 Home
OS Version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045
System Type: x64-based PC

YT Music Version: 3.3.4

Plugins Enabled:
Ad Blocker

#1955 (comment) is also a viable fix. Using a link instead of a path removes the need to download the list

where to put this line in the json? i'm trying everything. Ads still there

from youtube-music.

This is not anything bad, but correct me if i'm wrong, back in 2023 didn't we decide to switch to "In Player" because of the RAM usage leak that was happening from the "Blocklists" option?

Did we ever fix that? I got busy with university so I had to temporarily drop this project

@DereC4 Yes, that issue has been resolved.
