I've got exactly the same issue here on an Xperia Z1 running Android 5.0.2. There's nothing in the Xposed logs worth mentioning either.

YouTube AdAway 2.6.1 works fine, but everything newer than that doesn't work correctly. So changes that were made in 2.6.2 have broken something.

This is the exact version that my Xperia Z1 downloaded from the Play Store: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-10-34-57-android-apk-download/

[Xposed Framework Modules] henrik.dk:
It actually would be nice to have an option to get skip ad back for chromecast

play if there no way to block the ad.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vagelis1608:
I don't think it's possible because chromecast is given the video link from the YouTube app and then grabs the video (& ads) directly from YouTube.

As someone who recently purchased a chromecast, I can't agree more!

Support for ChromeCast?

Hello, I have rather annoying problem. Of course there are no ads on my phone while watching youtube, but I mostly use that in combination with the Google Chromecast, the problem is that the Chromecast runs its own youtube app that of course is not ad blocked, and cant really be modified.

The normal solution would be the "skip ad" button that appears after a few seconds and should mirror on my phone (cant press a button on the TV Screen). But because ads are blocked from youtube on the phone the ad that's playing on the ChromeCast isn't mirrored back to the phone and without it, I cant see the "skip ad" button on the phone and have no way to get rid of the ad on the ChromeCast (really annoying if its one of those 5min ads).

So is there anyway for this mod to:

1. detect if a ChromeCast is playing an ad or the selected video from the TV Play list

2. automatically send the "skip ad" signal as soon as its possible since I cant send it manually
[Xposed Framework Modules] bailey boy:
I had this same issue the other night, but forgot to report it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mperkel:
Not Chromecast Compatible

Just wanted to report a problem with adaway.

When using YouTube on Chromecast the Chromecast still show ads. And with your program active the "skip ad" button goes away, so I can't stop the ad.

If you could be Chromecast compatible that would be great. But if you can't then can you not do anything when Chromecast is active? Right now it's worse.

Thanks for your great work.

Same here not working anymore while on chromecast.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
I still don't understand how anyone would expect YouTube Adaway to have any control over a data stream that is directly going to the Chromecast without going through the phone/tablet! As mentioned several times previously, once the video initiated from the official YouTube app starts on your Chromecast, you can even power off your phone completely without interrupting the feed, making it abundantly clear that nothing on that phone can control the stream. All the phone can do it instruct the Chromecast to start/stop a feed, not alter its contents. There are only two solutions: either find software that runs on the Chromecast itself, or (easiest) use a mirroring scheme (allshare, localcast, etc.) to send the phone's video/audio onto the Chromecast.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wanam:
Sorry this won't be fixed, at least not planned in near future.

I don't own a Chromecast to debug this issue, so please no need to keep posting any Chromecast related bugs here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
I'm not aware of any " Chromecast related bugs". I own a Chromecast and have monitored network activity when sending a video from my phone to the Chromecast using the official app. NOTHING residing outside of the Chromecast can control the contents streamed directly from the YouTube servers into the Chromecast. All recent implementation of the official YouTube app merely send a URL to the Chromecast and the Chromecast processes that URL on its own, without any further interaction with the phone. YouTube Adaway block ads on the phone, but it can't control what a Chromecast does any more than it can control your coffee maker! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] milanmania2004:
It worked previously, but now no more, both on chromcast and phone. Read at techbang there is new implementation by Google to 'punish' those YouTube add blocker by not allow to skip the ads and need to wait the full ads to fnish. I did try deactivate adaway module, now can skip the ads after few seconds like before adaway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] FreeLookMode:
Same issue here with chrome cast, which is a real bummer
[Xposed Framework Modules] nurps:
You dont seem to get the problem. We know an anti ad app on the phone cant block ads on a different external device. The problem is that the app on the phone blocks the "skip add" button that would allow to skip ads for the external device on the phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
You're correct, I don't get the problem. Here I don't see a "skip ad" button when a stream initiated by the YouTube app is playing on the Chromecast, but I don't expect to see one since the phone and the Chromecast are

not

communicating while the steam is playing. In fact, a "skip ad" button that cannot skip the ad would be rather annoying. If I mirror the phone output or use an old YouTube app version (or probably an older Chromecast ROM), all's well since in those case the phone retains control over what is being streamed. From limited tests, it seems the current Chromecast firmware only responds to a limited number of commands (start, pause, stop, etc.), but nothing that deals with specific stream contents such as "skip this ad". I admittedly don't use the YouTube app for anything besides testing user reports so I'm probably missing something and I apologize if I confused the issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] nurps:
Well you are supposed to see one, when your Chromcast Youtube on the TV states "you can skip the ad now", you cant really press the TV screen, you see that button on the phone.

Should look like this: http://imgur.com/MmPvLQw

(with the xposed module it looks like its playing the desired youtube video already, no chance to skip there)

Sure I could mirror the phone and have youtube without ads, but that defeats some purpose of the chromecast since I then cant use the phone for other stuff meanwhile.
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:
If I'm reading all this right, the Chromecast tells the user the ad can be skipped via the phone app, but this module is properly hiding the "skip ad" button on said phone app and, therefore, can't skip the ad. I don't think the problem being reported is that the ad on the Chromecast isn't being hidden.

[Xposed Framework Modules] furkanmarifet:
Thanks for this app
[Xposed Framework Modules] dmarden:
This is correct. A lot of misunderstanding here. Personally, I just disable the module when I am going to use Youtube on my Chromecast. If I do so with the module enabled, skip button is hidden. Disabled, button is there and accessible.

It's not a huge deal and the author has stated that he isn't interested in dealing with it (paraphrasing, of course) since he doesn't have a Chromecast (it's not his obligation to do so).

The problem seems to be confusing to some people (presumably because they're not using it in a way that fits the impact scenario).

It's the Sony xperia z2 wifi tablet, sgp511, it's in vertical mode because the home tab in YouTube won't let me be landscape as it makes the ad full screen. My YouTube version is 10.37.58 also.
[Xposed Framework Modules] savvymatthew:
Not sure, Sorry.

You try using a different version of youtube ? I'm on 10.37.56 With no problems.

Try updating to the latest one on APK MIRROR, that doesn't change anything, Downgrade I few versions.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Josh McGrath:
YouTube version 10.37.58. Samsung edge, not stock rom

Working great! No more stupid annoying "watch next" popping up even on vevo vids. Only thing I see is the "official merchadise" pops up in the top right sometimes, probably if it's embedded in the video.

A big thank you for making YouTube enjoyable again!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Frostbiter:
So I fixed the ad appearing on YouTube for me, I cleared the YouTube apps data and the ad and the featured video tab disappeared. Don't normally need to clear the app data itself, just clearing the cache worked before thanks for all the work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DualJoe:
They are called "YouTube Cards" and i still get them as well on v10.37.56. See this video and jump to 00:30sec. Try several times.

Edit: It sometimes just shows the status bar and the Card comes up only when you touch the screen (in landscape mode).

Edit2: Its comes up much more reliable in portrait mode than in fullscreen (landscape).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Josh McGrath:
I can confirm the cards pop-up on the top right as well. YouTube is getting really crazy on their ads. I don't see how anyone can use it without adblock.

hey, this is a very good application. i have a suggestion. when casting to chromecast either make it to block ad on chromecast too or else when casting enable the skip button. because due to this mod i am unable to see skip ad button on phone where as i can see that on my tv.
[Xposed Framework Modules] christianpeso:
Normally with Chromecast, the video is actually being passed along to it so the phone is not actually "streaming" the video to the Chromecast. The Chromecast is whats actually doing the streaming at that point. Thats why a lot of apps like this and music app skippers do not work because it is not going thru your phone anymore, but directly thru the Chromecast.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Thank you. That's what I've been saying in this thread for a while now. I'm glad to see that at least someone agrees that any ad blocking would need to be done on the Chromecast, not on the phone! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] egingell:
It has been mentioned that nobody is talking about the Chromecast itself. It is merely a prop in the story of the "skip" button *on the phone* being hidden making the ad on the TV unskipable because one can't tap the hidden "skip" button *on the phone*.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Can you hijack the "Connect to device" YouTube button? The problem I see is that there's no dependable way to determine if an available device happens to be a Chromecast unless you add a "blacklist" option for the user to list the devices (by name?) for which YouTube Adaway should put itself to sleep. This might have the additional benefit of adding compatibility with other devices that might also be able to receive the stream directly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rakuu:
Using the latest YouTube adaway and the TBO 10.37.56 version of YouTube I get no ads in app and on Chromecast I can skip the ads fine, I thought that's what the latest version was fixing? As a side note if you use something like dd-wrt's adblock proxy deal you can block the ads that way, there's a thread about it in the Chromecast section, apparently some person got it using a RPi I believe.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Earlier versions of the official YouTube app streamed to the Chromecast through the phone (like most other streaming apps), but recent ones now simply relinquish control after instructing the Chromecast to grab the stream on its own, at least with official Chromecast ROMs , hence the "skip ad" and related headaches.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DaveX2012:
Have you guys problem with watch history and search history. Don't show my watch history in mobile but its work fine in PC. Watch history and search history just disappeared. Suggestion?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Could it be that you are (inadvertently?) blocking "s.youtube.com" in your hosts file? Your YouTube history and search data live on that host which is blocked by default in recent incarnation of the popular hpHosts "ad_servers.txt" source file. If you use AdAway (you should!), it's easy enough to either pick a different list or simply whitelist that particular host.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DaveX2012:
How should I whitelist s.youtube.com and if I whitelist will AdAway still block YouTube ads?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Let's ignore this YouTube Adaway module for the time being since your issue seems unrelated to it. The module doesn't rely on the hosts file or local DNS resolution to control YouTube content.

If you use AdAway, simply go to "Your Lists" from its menu, select "White", and add "s.youtube.com". After you reboot, that host will no longer be blocked. Alternatively, you could avoid loading the "ad_servers.txt" source file that blocks it the first place. If you need further details, see the AdAway thread where we discussed that very issue recently (search for "s.youtube.com").

This won't have any bearing over how this module behaves but it should make your YouTube history reappear.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DaveX2012:
Thanks watch history it's working but search history don't work. What should I do now?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
This seems unrelated to the Youtube Adaway module and should probably be discussed wherever YouTube in general is supported, but it's very possible that your search history got inadvertently paused or cleared. I suggest you access https://www.youtube.com/feed/history/search_history from your

browser

(preferably not on the device giving you trouble) and verify that you DO still have some search history entries.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DaveX2012:
Yeah I can see my search history still there don't know why don't show in YouTube app itself.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Additionally, in the "reason" field for your edit but not the post itself, you said:

It might take a little while for caches to update and show all history, but I suspect you're OK now that you quit blocking the history host. This confirms that your self-inflicted problem was unrelated to the Xposed module and needs not be further discussed in this thread ;)

This pretty much confirms that your search history trouble has nothing to do with YouTube AdAway or the "real" AdAway and should probably not clutter up those threads. I suggest you investigate how and when that history is getting synced. It might use one of the many Google Sync services that run on most Android devices, and might be impaired by something running on your phone, such as Greenify, Amplify, or any similar app. Happy hunting! ;)
