Allow me to rephrase: XDA considers it warez and has forbidden its mention. I highly expect a moderator to come through and clean the thread.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vagelis1608:
Ad-free YouTube is also a "paid feature".

So, YouTube AdWay is a warez, according to you, right?

If so, why are you here?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
This is not according to me. And that's the final i'll say. Lest a moderator slap me too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vagelis1608:

Arguing is pointless.

Have a nice day.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Nergal di Cuthah:
More info

What device?

What android version?

What xPosed version? Official or one of the forks?

What crashes? Youtube, youtube adaway?

Can you reliably recreate the crash? Please provide xposed log and logcat of crash.
[Xposed Framework Modules] voidzero:
Apparently this was a "false positive." Apologies!
[Xposed Framework Modules] MaheshTechnicals:
Working on Android 8.1.0?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Brainium:
YouTube keeps crashing on launch for me if I have YouTube AdAway loaded.

YouTube version: 13.17.55

Android version: 8.0.0 AOSP

Device: HTC 10

AdAway version: 4.3.2

Xposed version: both official v90 SDK26 beta 3 and beta 1

Please see attached logs, and thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zynexiz:
Hi, sorry for the long overdue answer. Here's my dump from adb logcat.

YouTube version: 13.18.55

Android version: 8.1.0 Aicp Oreo Edition 13.1 (API 27)

Device: Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (SGP611)

AdAway version: 4.3.2

Xposed version: 90-beta3
[Xposed Framework Modules] TechnoSparks:
I'd like to add that the crash only happens when the app decides to use the new mini player (the one where it now spans the whole width of the screen).

This is because if I clear Data, the YouTube app reverts back to the old mini player (small box bottom right). When I kill YouTube to get the new mini player (read this method on a comment section on Android Police) the crash happens consistently
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:
FYI: There appears to currently be a clash between youtube adaway and youtube background playback.
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
That's improbable since they don't have a single hook that interferes with each other.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:

There is no way it can be still running if you disable/remove it, just clear your YouTube App data and check again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bigmem:
I can't explain it but it is. I don't have it installed but even having deleted youtube app and with fresh installs with a wipe of dalvik cache still have the adds blocked and recommendations blocked. And still issue with buffering stopping. No issue on youtube web site
[Xposed Framework Modules] wmarcin:
Do you have any other ad blockers installed?

[Xposed Framework Modules] k20-:
Confirmed working with Nexus 5 and Samsung S2 Skyrocket (both running custom kitkat roms and custom kernels). Tested with youtube ver 5.5.27

Videos do buffer just a little bit before they play (not a big deal)...no more ads now.

Follow my steps below and it should work:

Important: if you're running Kitkat, use Dalvik only. ART will cause issues.

1. Open the Youtube app info and hit the "clear data" button.

2. Install the xposed module

3. Activate

4. Reboot

5. Enjoy ads free youtube.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wantabe:
[MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] Probably have been using this module since right after it was released with no issues. That said, I updated YouTube to v5.6.31 and I am shocked, shocked I say to see ads once again. The horror! Reverted back to v 5.5.27 and it's all good. Your module is definitely one of my must haves and I have sent a much deserved donation your way. Appreciate your work on this!
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
Can you upload the new update? It's not available yet (for me) on the PlayStore.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wantabe:
Here you go.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
Thanks, i will post the update soon.

Anyone tried the new YouTube update, i found a new overlay named "info card teaser", i will add an option to hide it too, but i'm wondering what's displayed on this overlay.

EDIT:

Update 1.8.0 posted:

- Support YouTube 5.6.31

- Add an option to hide "Information Card teasers"

Q: Why this application requires an update for each official YouTube App update.

A: Because the YouTube application sources are proguarded, which means the generated classes names (by Proguard) are changing for each release, this should happen only if a clean proguard (producing a new classes map) is done, that's why we need to update the classes names on YouTube AdAway each time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Synthic:
Decided to update my YouTube app tonight, then checked to see if this module had an update, and there it was! Thank you for being awesome [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] and for updating this module so damn fast.

After rebooting I watched a few movie trailers on the front page and no ads there, so the module seemed to be working well. However, when I watched a music video from VEVO, the channel logo popped up 2-3 times in the bottom left corner on my HTC One. So the ad blocking is working for me but I suppose they might have changed something with that specific overlay.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
Are you sure it's not a part of the video? the hidden logo should be aligned top|right.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wantabe:
Thank you sir! I hadn't used the new version long enough to see any "Information Card teasers" but I'm going to leave the option unchecked just out of curiosity and if I see anything I'll report back. If it has anything to do with Google Now I probably won't see it because I don't use it. And as far as the hidden logo I don't hide it myself and I don't remember ever seeing it that it was not in the top right corner. I have a couple dozen YouTube subscriptions so I couldn't imagine having to suffer through all the ads again no matter how short they are. Simply outstanding job wanam, very much appreciated!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Synthic:
No, it's not unfortunately. I just watched this video in the official app with the module enabled, and saw the popup, then played it again in PVSTAR+ and nothing.

I know the channel logo is supposed to be the one floating in the top right. This one is completely in the bottom left. Now that you mention it I think it's actually the suggestions overlay, but without that transparent box with text next to it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
Post your YouTube version and Xposed logs.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
No issues on your logs and i can't reproduce it on the latest updates, you should maybe update your YouTube App.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mulletcutter:

[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:

[Xposed Framework Modules] osm0sis:
[MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION], excellent work!

Would you please allow getting to the settings when it's hidden from the App Drawer? I know App Ops Xposed managed something similar, and I love keeping my drawer tidy but still having access. :)

Thanks for your consideration!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bwwwww:
Wanam, what is with Youtube adding all these layers?!?!?!
[Xposed Framework Modules] osm0sis:
Sorry, just to clarify, the way AppOpsXposed does is through the Xposed Installer's Modules list.:)
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
I guess you mean this:

[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Lol. Re enable and reboot. That's a network error I believe.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:
Trust me I tried everything. Whenever both bg playback and adaway are active, youtube crashes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Josh McGrath:
I think I'm missing something. I am still getting those damn suggest video popups during a video.

Is the fact that I have YouTube red make this module not work correctly?
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Well, from your log I can tell you right now it's not a conflict between them. Your selinux is getting denied and your network is timing out. You are literally the only person with this issue. The other guy had a downgraded version causing the issue. Update to 13.20.54 if you haven't, make sure you have the latest ytadaway (it's on GitHub) and backgroundplayback, and make sure selinux is set to permissive. Again, by YOUR log, it is not a conflict of the two. Would have been better to have the entire log not a trimmed version but no worries. Apologies if I come off as rude, not my intention, just generally happens.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DaniPhii:
YouTube AdAway 4.3.2 and YouTube Background Playback 2.0.4 working with YouTube 13.09.57. No problems at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:
Sure, will try.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dacraun:
Just fyi, I've had the very same issue once or thrice.

Disabling adaway and background works, but put it back and Youtube crashes on startup.

What's fixed it for me is force-closing the Youtube app and deleting the data.
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
[MENTION=6510766]Benrap[/MENTION] you can try the latest from apkmirror to also see if it solves it. I believe it's 13.22.54. th3an just updated the sources like 3 hours or so ago. also, are you running Oreo by chance?

[Xposed Framework Modules] Potus ThePlant:
I have the exact same problem. Have you been able to find a workaround?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dacraun:
From what I've found it's something in the youtube.xml file located at /data/user/0/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/youtube.xml

My personal workaround is to delete youtube.xml and use fx root explorer to change permissions on the shared_prefs folder to forbid anything from writing in said folder.

You tube app works great, in the background, without ads.

Not sure what exactly in Youtube.xml causes it though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vagelis1608:
It's the settings file.

You might be able to force the old player with it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Potus ThePlant:
I just tried that and it works. What changed is that the mini player (while you're inside the app) is now the old one (small video) so I guess that the culprit of the crashes is the new mini player.
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Unnecessary message. Sorry
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
The entire pop up (since it has no UI) has a total of nine words. That's it. You don't need translation for anything lol. It says it's active with yellow or inactive with red.

Make sure to download the adaway app and install the latest version of ad blocking hosts file!

Hope this helps, thanks :)

Fair point, I didn't because I'm on mobile, and also because I would think it's a widespread issue on the latest version of Youtube.

But as I also have seen, the devices are "Mentioned" in several cases, and I saw they were all different to mine.

I will report back with logs, once I know how to generate them.
