I pushed a new update 4.3.3 to support new YouTube versions:

- Update brute force implementation for new YouTube versions

- Tested against YT version 13.34.50
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Wanam....

Man we all owe you respect !

Thank you so much for maintaining !

:svetius:

Edit:

I updated and rebooted phone, but still I have ads?

That's weird. I have same version YouTube as you wanam (13.34.50)

I try uninstall and re_install YT now.

Edit #2

Can't uninstall because YT comes with OpenGapps for I install it with nightly's of Lineage 15.1, where YT becomes a system_app.

So far it seems there's only one as per "session".

Anyone else still have ads too?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jesterFX:
that ads still showing, hope Mr. Wanam will fix ASAP :)

Youtube still crashes on android 8.0 Samsung stock ROM with activated module :(

This is not a module issue, but Xposed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
So I was right in my assumption (to myself) that the FC was in xPosed 90beta3. Guess we'll be counting on Rovo and/or others who might be able to pull a fix before i'll have the serenity of ad free vids.
[Xposed Framework Modules] GabbyWC:
Wanam, thank you for the continued support. Is your module now compatible with v2.x of the YouTube for Android TV app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube.tv

For a long time, the root app called AdAway was enough to block video ads on Android TV but Google recently changed something and now video ads appear regularly. I've switched over to using a sideloaded app called Smart YouTube TV to avoid ads but it lacks the voice search feature that the official YouTube for Android TV app has.
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
You mean wanam.

He's the dev of this xposed module and very capable to fix it. Earlier this year it was updated and working also. (While I was also on lineage 15.1)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
No I mean rovo. It's a framework error not wanam's module; else today's release would have probably fixed it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
How you get the conclusion its framew error?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
Because it existed before (previous posters posted the bug) and I was quoting ja_som who said it was framework not module. I've been following this thread long enough to have seen the bug reported when oreo got beta xposed

Edit
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
How to explain everything working fine from V4.1.0 in February and later Versions on Oreo +lineage 15.1 on?

I understand the quoting you do but I'm not convinced
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
Still rarely getting ads before a video starts. German movie trailer and an ad for Treefin(skipeable).

Found no debugger module so there's nothing in the Xposed installer logs...

YT 13.34.50

HTC10 Lollipop regular root
[Xposed Framework Modules] zulfikarbugis:
I use magisk for rooted v 16.7.. First update module, I have YT crashes too, but i downgrade magisk from 16,7 to stable 16.0 and voilaaa,, it's working and no ads.. if you use magisk 16.7 for rooted, you may need to downgrade to 16.0 stable version too
[Xposed Framework Modules] j1gga84:
Lineage 15.1 uses another Xposed framework than android 8.0 stock and that's one of the points I guess..

Additionally to my post ^ I get ads with Adaway 4.3.3 and previously working YT 13.29.53.

Did a rollback to adaway 4.3.2,all good so far
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Reboot your phone please. See if your "magic" is still there? My guess is its not.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
That's obviously the first thing you do after installing this module and / or up- or downgrade YT
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Than its miraculous. Everybody has ads with the pre_last version but you :good: :cowboy:
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
Since I am not using the pre last version I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Check on which version the ads returned.
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Really 4.3.2 is pre_last version tot me.

Im stopping the conversation with you now. Nobody is served with it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jasonlee0315:
Same here crashing with 90beta3
[Xposed Framework Modules] blaster42:
So my YouTube app won't start and just crashes. I hadnt updated anything either the module nor the app itself. After updating both, the app still just crashes. I'm on an OP6
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
GOTO:

/Data/user/0/com.google.android.youtube

Take the folder SHARED_PREFS and make it read-only. Get into the folder and rename the file

YOUTUBE.XML to something you can revert if needed, like YOUTUBE.XML.OLD

Maybe to be sure reboot your phone.

YouTube should not crash anymore.

I read this somewhere and for me it works. (No crashing, add still there).
[Xposed Framework Modules] blaster42:
Do I find /Data/user/... in the file manager? In the data/com.google.android.youtube folder all I see is Cache and files
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Yes, I think so.

You could do a search for. Youtube.xml then you land in the folder I guess. I use es file explorer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] blaster42:
So I found the folder. Had to get access to hidden system files. So how do I change the shared_prefs to read only? Also, should I change YouTube.xml to YouTube.xml.old? I went to properties of shared_prefs and made sure that it can read for owner, group, and other, should I uncheck write and execute for all of the options too?
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Change to RO in properties of a map or file.

Rename the XML as instructed, how hard can it be?

Your map must be RO for all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] deepak549:
Its not working with YT 13.34.50 . ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hsquare:
Changing permissions and renaming not working unfortunately. YouTube still crashing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
Try no permissions at all for the map? Will that work?
[Xposed Framework Modules] GabbyWC:
I've tried the latest version of this module on my Google Nexus Player. The Xposed log still results in a "brute force failed" error with YouTube for Android TV v2.03.06, unfortunately. I'll have to keep using Smart YouTube TV to avoid video ads but it would be nice to see YouTube AdAway support the official YouTube for Android TV v2.x software as I mentioned earlier.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hsquare:
Nope.
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
I tried with a 2nd and 3rd device (Samsung S2 running lineage 7.1.2 and Samsung S5 900f, both have YouTube crashing but after the tweak I wrote earlier the YouTube works without crashing (but having ads though).

So I am sorry to say i can't help you any further.

:confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] andreoide:
.

YT updated, this no longer work.

In fact, to make YT work again I had to revert the changes and reboot the phones I altered it on.

I thought it a good idea to share this.

Now back to YouTube with ads.

[MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION]..... I know it must be a tiring endless battle with YT updating every time you did your magic, but... Is there any chance you can do your magic again?

:svetius: :D

:cowboy:
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
Still no ads with module 4.3.2 and YT 13.29.53.
[MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] if there's a debug version I can try to get some logs
[Xposed Framework Modules] doubledrat:
Doesn't work for me :(

Doesn't work for me on standard youtube. logs show nothing apart from

Any ideas?

try clear cache/data on YouTube and restart/reboot your device, it's work fine with me on update 13.35.51

Not working. I've already cleared the cache and data, reboot. The last three youtube versions aren't blocked. They play ads before videos start. Some of these ads can't be skipped.

Mod edit - quote /hide tag added
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
After much effort and troubleshooting I gave up on both the new YouTube Vanced project and latest youtube background playback and adaway versions. Reason being: YouTube vanced doesn't detect that my Google account is logged in. I am forever stuck in an account-less YouTube. I've been using micro g instead of Google for years, and have never had a problem signing in to YouTube with background playback and adaway enabled. I hope the devs figure this out soon.

As for the latest YouTube adaway 4.3.3, it's just really buggy. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The latest background playback 2.0.5 actually works flawlessly, however with adaway not working it really ruins the experience for me. I cannot stand ads when watching my favorite channels that I already support through other means.

All I had to do to get YouTube adaway and background playback working like the old days again, was revert back to YouTube 13.02.58, YouTube adaway 4.3.2, and background playback 2.0.4. Background playback 2.0.5 doesn't work with older versions of YouTube since the dev had to change the code to work with the latest versions. Hope this info helps, spent all night trying to figure all this out.

I'll be keeping my eye on YouTube Vanced, however I do enjoy the benefit, aside from being able to login on regular YouTube, of being able to limit YouTube's telemetry using xprivacy and privacyguard. Since YouTube Vanced is installed through magisk and made a /system app, is has system privileges. I am unaware whether the devs of vanced have removed YouTube's telemetry, so it worries me enough to not want it installed on my system. I'm happy with regular YouTube as a user app, and classic adaway and BG playback for now :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Josh McGrath:
I thought Vanced had ad blockers in it? I never get ads on Vanced???

Try being logged into YouTube BEFORE installing Vanced? That's what I did and it worked perfectly
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
I think you misunderstand what I'm trying to say here. Vanced works great with adblocking and background playback, but it doesn't work at all when trying to sign in with a google account, with a system set up with micro g. I was already signed in with my google account prior to installing, when trying to sign in it just says the account already exists, like other guy was experiencing a few pages back. It doesn't make a difference. For whatever reason its not detecting accounts that are signed in, while other apps can no problem, including regular YouTube. Maybe it has something to do with vanced being a /system app?

Adblockers don't get rid of the telemetry I'm talking about. YouTube retrieves your network IP address, phone's imei, has full access to storage and can give you a unique ID to Traci you unless you limit all of this using xprivacy, which gives it fake info for all of those things instead if just outright blocking them, retaining full functionality of the app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Josh McGrath:
Ah I gotcha . I tried just giving a quick reply trying to help until someone that could help more chimed in.

I'm glad to see there's another privacy advocate as per you using xprivacy. The amount of data apps steal from us is crazy, and kids games are the worst, they even record convos!

Stupid question here, but have you tried a factory reset? Maybe it's some kind of bug in the system? What kind of phone are you using ?

Yes I'm on oreo. I hope this will solved on the xposed's update for pie!
[Xposed Framework Modules] IngoPan:
Are the video-ads considered to be blocked,too ? I mean the ones before the actual yt video starts?
[Xposed Framework Modules] AfroJ:
These aren't being blocked for me either.....
[Xposed Framework Modules] daktah:
Is this going to be fixed at all? Do we know if it's being worked on by anybody?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jerryspring:
There is an old version of YouTube adaway that worked perfectly for all youtube app..can't remember which though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
Like I mentioned a few pages before and got trolled by someone who probably doesn't know what he was doing, there are no ads with the previos version of adaway (4.3.2) and youtube 13.29.53.

Make sure to reboot your phone
[Xposed Framework Modules] jerryspring:
Only prob with downloading an old YouTube apk, the app itself says it needs to be updated before it can work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jerryspring:
Thanks for the tip. Works good! Question tho...what about the tiny little window ads on bottom right of videos? Is that supposed to be blocked too?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mr Nobodies:
Some YouTube ads not filtered
[Xposed Framework Modules] WormyBirdfinger:
So what I'm reading is i should just keep my old vanced YouTube installed. What would be nice is some way of disabling the youtube "you need to update"message every time i load it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
Not for me, it sometimes says so but I just skip that screen

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Do you have a screenshot? I absolutely have not one single ad, do you mean channel logos?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jerryspring:
I guess they're called that. Maybe it was something that's in the video itself.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sutobe:
It just happened that I have, going to upload this evening, attachment management won't work for me at the moment
[Xposed Framework Modules] jerryspring:
No..it was a Czech video and it showed an ad for one of their drinks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jerryspring:
What is that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] marcdw:
Given that Vanced has built in adblocking (does what this module does and more) I'm not sure what you're saying. Use whatever version you want including the latest 13.xx.

This module and what it works with applies to plain Google YouTube. You don't (need to) use this module with Vanced.

Please fix for Oreo
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
The error in oreo is caused by xposed itself. Wanam has explained that a flaw needs fixing in the current xposed beta.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tracertree:
Daymnn that's nice. Although I compiled the version on GitHub and its working again. Thanks for the info though :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Sure you did bud. Except that i know you didn't unless you just kanged something.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tracertree:
sorry whatttt?? :confused:
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
You proved my point. You didn't do anything. You were literally told the bug lies in xposed and I guarantee you haven't even looked at a single line of code for xposed. Then you said you "compiled" sources at GitHub. You didn't. I know for a fact you didn't. So stop.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tracertree:
Well if you think that's the case then how about you try this version that I compiled on Oreo. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kDBQq7FMIUThD-C1jWI2kjkF8hMYW7rl

You can thank me later :)

[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
And then you link a random drive account LMFAO. Oh wow. You're really trying. Again, you didn't fix anything because the bug isn't in the module. And how did you compile it on Oreo? Oh.. You didn't.. That's not how it works..
[Xposed Framework Modules] tracertree:
Ohhhh boy. Do you hear yourself talking. I missed a comma there lol. Not my native language. I meant try it on Oreo. (The version that I compiled). Lmao. Give it a try before complaining. Don't let your pride get it between. xD :silly:

And I never said I fixed any thing. I just compiled the opened PR from GitHub.
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Yup saw it all. That's how I know nothing has been fixed in Oreo. Both SandPox and Chris admit it's constantly crashing still. Again, as I already stated, the issue is in Xposed not the adaway module but that goober Tracer doesn't seem to comprehend that. That pull request was over a month ago where it still didn't work. So congrats Tracer, you compiled a broken module that has evidence of not working.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tracertree:
Are you still not gonna try it [MENTION=3878921]agraceful[/MENTION] before calling me a goober? End of discussion from my side. Adios.

And again dude, start thinking from your head and not your pride, Bigot.

I can confirm that the crash on Android 8.0 (samsung based ROM) seems to be gone. :good:

With this modified Youtube AdAway Youtube does not crash anymore when opening the app.

But I don't know if it is also gone on 8.1 :confused:

[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
You must be daft, because you're not listening. Go to GitHub. Look at the thread. Literally the creator of the patch states it's still crashing on Oreo. And that was 2 days ago bud. I have given you evidence that proves you did nothing, especially when you added no code nor did anyone to actually fix the issue.

I see. The discussion over there is quite dead. I guess there aren't any updates in the pipeline.

[Xposed Framework Modules] XtraWater:
For me, and I'm quite sure also for others, it doesn't make sense not to update youtube. When I use old versions, the entire phone becomes slow and laggy. Very slow. As soon I update to the latest YT verison.....boom, the phone runs fine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
As many others have suggested here, the way to go now is using YouTube Vanced.
[Xposed Framework Modules] XtraWater:
I know. May be I should spent some time to figure out how to install. There is only a universal installer which doesn't work with TWRP.... Then, there is an APK for my phone, but can't intall it either.

Seems to be a pita even before it's installed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] k54k54k54:
I know the last version could be better than older,

but it dipends what you want ,

I don't want ads and so a I prefer old vesion of youtube where adaway works ok.

then I hate when the interface is changed , when the buttons/functions are changed etc etc in every new version released ,

those that are enough for me and I do not need others, there are already too many functions that I never use.

bye

[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
Nah! don't bother. I'm rooted and all and I just use the Non-Rooted method (https://youtubevanced.com/non-root) installing Vanced and MicroG. You can also then freeze/disable/uninstall stock Youtube.
