Issue summary
Cannot block behind-the-scene image request after YouTube video is closed.

To reproduce

1. Open YouTube video (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TtVsy98ces) in a new tab
2. Open uBlock logger (chrome://ublock0/content/logger-ui.html)
3. Close YouTube video tab and observe outgoing requests
4. See image requests to https://s.youtube.com/api/stats/qoe?event=streamingstats and https://s.youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?ns=yt&el=detailpage being made in the logger after video is closed
5. Create filter from UI to block requests
6. Retry steps 1-4 to see requests are blocked

Symptoms of the issue

Requests made to https://s.youtube.com/api/stats/qoe?event=streamingstats and https://s.youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?ns=yt&el=detailpage should be colored red (ie, a blocked request), instead of white.

Also reproduced in:

Do you have "I am an advanced user" enabled in the dashboard? No? Then it won't work.

The filtering of behind-the-scene network request is available to advanced users.

@hotdogman Yes, I use the dynamic filtering as well.

I just tried dynamic filtering instead of static filtering and it still doesn't turn "red" like my other blocked requests.

Were you able to reproduce the possible bug?

Is behind-the-scene whitelisted? (it is by default)

[metaphoricgiraffe]

Yes, it was whitelisted.

That fixes it.

I would like to note that requests to s.youtube.com (probably the one with watchtime in the url - I'm guessing) are used to remember the position(timecode) that the video was on, and this position is restored later on when revisiting said video eg. upon browser restarts, or visiting the same video a few days later. This works for multiple videos not only the last viewed one.

Curiously, I remember that this worked even though I've whitelisted s.youtube.com (and in behind-the-scene) within uMatrix, BUT uBlock Origin still had it blacklisted(red); I think it was dependent on the order that these 2 addons were installed.
