I do not think so it works |

@somebody0278 So does it work or not? |
|
no |
|
@somebody0278 Keep the above one, how about this? /^https:\/\/[-\w]+\.googlevideo\.com\/videoplayback\?expire=([02-9]|1[0-589]|16[0-8]|169[0-8]|1699[0-5])/$xhr,3p,method=get,domain=www.youtube.com,badfilter |
|
@somebody0278 Can you do these steps (follow strictly the step order, don't mix the steps orders, or skip any steps):
|
|
I can reproduce @somebody0278 issue. but only on some specific videos in that youtuber's playlist. |
|
@MandiYang Can you test the 2 filters above? |
|
Ok, sure but I got this on logger(EDIT:without the 2 filters): |
|
The 2 filters above didn't work. |

@MandiYang Can you give exact links where you see the issue? Also can you test these filters, one-by-one? www.youtube.com#@#+js()

##+js(adjust-setTimeout, [native code], 17000, 0.001)I have an issue where youtube's home page will load blank, forcing me to refresh and hope that it will load properly (which it does sometimes, can take multiple refreshes). Once the site is loaded properly, it will keep working provided I don't open a different tab. This only happens when this extension is enabled, regardless of if I have youtube whitelisted or not. I have reset to default settings in the extension, disabled firefox's enhanced tracking protection for youtube, cleared cache, all the usual things short of resetting my entire browser. Can someone please help so I don't have to keep disabling the extension entirely? I don't even want to block ads on youtube as I have premium anyways. |
|
@Aphoristic Can you go to |
|
Sure: |
|
@Aphoristic Can you turn off all other extensions, except uBO, restart the browser and test again? |
|
Alright, same thing happens: |
|
@Aphoristic What's the white "U" icon besides uBO? |
|
That is the browser's built in account sync thing to send tabs to mobile or whatever. Icon just grabbed the first letter from an email address. |
|
@Aphoristic Can you test in a new Firefox profile with only uBO and its default settings? |
|
@AutistOctavius And you still have the ad-slip and/or freeze issue? The logging itself in an inactive tab is not too strange. |
Yes, it freezes at the end of the video, and has an inflated duration.
|
It'll be almost impossible to remotely investigate, but strange we don't hear from others while you consisntently have the issue. I checked your A/B test flags but couldn't find obviously suspicious. |
Are people watching the same videos as I am? Maybe they should try watching the same videos as I am. EDIT: I'll also add, it's rare. The vast majority of videos don't do this, I have to go looking for videos that do this. |

FWIW, I get the issue as well. I haven't said anything for ~2 weeks because I can bypass the issue with yt-dlp. I just download the videos I want to watch; no delay there. But in a browser? I get errors in the Web Dev Console (same ones as above, where UBO is blocking some connections on the cat video). If I refresh the video enough times (sometimes 2x, sometimes 10x+) it eventually starts buffering. But even if it starts buffering, it will stop somewhere along the playback. It seems random, but the pauses are long enough to be 1-2 minute ad spots, so my guess is some part of the JS is trying to load an ad, and then refusing to continue buffering chunks until the time the ad takes has elapsed. I have no idea how to prove/validate/test this theory. I've assumed I was the only one with this problem for the same reason you do. Yes, I've tried a completely default browser with no addons at all, and no UBO rules. It still happens. It happens both signed in and signed out. I only have firefox, I will only use firefox. The main thing that tells me this is a JS problem is that yt-dlp can download the videos at full speed without any delay, so the youtube server itself is capable of sending my client the chunks, but the YT player is refusing/unable to get them for some reason. |
|
@EnB-Doctor Your issue is not the same as the above. For Firefox buffering issue, please follow this thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878510#c97 . It's not related to uBO The issue above is about when the video ends, NOT about buffering while playing videos. |
This is, unfortunately, not true. I have an addon that can force non-use of VP9, and even when I do that, it still buffers. I understand you don't want buffering issues in this thread and I'll respect that, but I'm still sending this reply since I was working on it.

@Yuki2718 Just so you know the way you get flags is a little bit incorrect from what I've gathered it seems that YouTube has special flags only for the watch page for example Do you mind trying to get the flags like this then paste it on a pastebin @AutistOctavius |
Oh, ad slip? I didn't get ad slip on that video, just the freeze frame. I thought you wanted But I can let you know if I get ad slip. I haven't gotten any ad slip recently but I'll try and find some. |
|
@EnB-Doctor Please follow the 1st post steps again. You are using other addons and custom filters too, so we can't help further with those. |

Not sure if those "local" flags are involved in the issue, even if so, we don't know much about them compared to the global flags. |

Not a huge issue, more of a "You might be interested to know" sort of thing. But I'm noticing at least one SSAP video where seeking doesn't work after the video is over. I saw a TomSka video on my front page. So I open his channel... https://www.youtube.com/@TomSka Click the Videos tab, and watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uApthBVk7mw An ad is blocked for a split second at the start, and I watch the video.
Video ends mostly normally. Except there's an inflated runtime, and when I try seeking along the track bar, I only get to see the first frame of the video. I've uploaded a video of me trying to seek. Seeking.Funnybusiness.mp4And I've got my Troubleshooting stuff. |
For some reason I can't watch nor download the video. Looks like an ongoing Github glitch some of us are occasionally facing. <= stephenhawk8054 provided the video to me, so you don't have to do anything. |
I managed to reproduce the inflated duration and she 00:00 seeking with and without uBlockOrigin turned on so it just seems to be a YouTube issue. |

I've got ad slip! But it's different than usual. Saw this video on my front page, so I opened it in a new tab.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guce0ZXHQAQ Attachment size limit is 10MB, so bear with me. I've got clips of the funny business I'm looking at. I find that if a video clip on Github isn't working for me, refreshing the page works. My video starts without an ad. Or if there was an ad, it was blocked quickly. You can't see it because the "Stats for nerds" are in the way, but the title of the video is hovering in the upper right of the video. But what you can probably see? I have no power to seek. Like with "asdfmovie15," I see no thumbnail for where my cursor sits on the bar. But unlike "asdfmovie15," I can't even click to different points in the video. The seeking bar is totally unclickable. And the duration display is way off. Ad.Slip.pt1.mp4Pausing and unpausing does nothing to fix this. Ad.Slip.pt2.mp4Also, you can see the yellow trackbar that belongs to ads. Ad.Slip.pt3.mp4I watch to the end, and I get a freeze frame. So I replay. And what do I get? A Nespresso ad! Ad.Slip.pt4.mp4But here's the thing, the ad freezes after 5 seconds. It responds to nothing I do. Ad.Slip.pt5.mp4Ad.Slip.pt6.mp4After a few minutes it unfroze and played for another few seconds, but I wasn't able to get a clip. Here's what my Console looks like, filtered by
EDIT: Remember that entry with the 56 next to it? The count is increasing as we speak. It just hit 100.
Here's my Troubleshooting details... |
|
Followup to my issue above. The video has since gone black. The ad never finished playing, not that I could hear. But I've been letting the tab sit and now the video has gone black. And the videoData has filled up with even newer logs?
Trouble stuffing... |
|
@AutistOctavius Is that the same if you create a new Firefox profile and install uBO, then login to yt with the same account? |
I'm using Chrome, is that a problem? EDIT: Or were you asking me to try this in a new browser, but with uBO on? |

Restarting your browser afterwards may help too. On Chromium-based browsers uBO can't reliably block ads after you launched browser or switched profiles including "Open link in incognito" and "Open link as User X". This state of unable-to-block will be kept until you do manual refresh of the page.

It is Youtube's own issue that endcards are shown too early if SSAP ads play. Do not report them as uBO's issue unless you're 100% sure this is caused by filters.
Youtube is actively messing up their own site if you have seen in-video warning regardless if you have any blocker enabled or not.
If you suffer slow loading, test
at your own risk.
