🟥 ALL YouTube issues: D-O-N-'T COMMENT without reading the 1st post🟥 #20586

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-11-10T15:43:02Z

⚠️ P-L-E-A-S-E, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read and follow all of the instructions first ⚠️

Note: After each step, close your current tabs and open new tab to test again or it won't work.

I have created a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings, and confirmed the issue still occurs in that new profile
I updated uBO to the latest versions (1.61.0+)

video tutorial

1-update-uBO.mp4

I removed custom config / reset to defaults. <== This means removing your custom filters (or disabling My filters) and disabling ALL additional lists you have enabled MANUALLY, including the ones listed by uBO. DO NOT disable DEFAULT filter lists. It might be quicker to make a backup of your config and restore to defaults instead.

video tutorials

2-disabling-custom-filter-config.mp4

2-2-reset-to-defaults.mp4

My filter lists are up to date.

click this link then load Youtube in a new tab.

I completely disabled ALL other extensions AND browser's built-in blockers. <== They might interfere with our solutions. However, DO NOT disable "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" add-on.

Some browsers with built-in blockers

Opera, Vivaldi, Brave
Edge: Click on "lock" icon at the left of URL bar -> Turn off Tracking Prevention

video tutorial

4-disabling-extensions.mp4

I did not remove any of the default filter lists, or I have verified that the issue was not caused by removing any of the default lists.
I verified the issue does not exist if I turn off uBO.

🟥 When reporting, A-L-W-A-Y-S provide your `Troubleshooting Information`! ALWAYS!! 🟥

On YouTube page that has issue: click 🛡️ uBO's icon > 💬 Report > Click "Troubleshooting information" > Select all > Copy > Share it.

video tutorial

Then share the EXACT links / URLs that you see the issue.
Describe the steps to reproduce in the most details as possible.
Provide video recordings of how to reproduce the issue.

If you suffer slow loading, test

www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)
www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.web_enable_ab_rsp_cl, false)
www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.ab_pl_man, false)

June 2024 - YouTube SSAP ads issue: PLEASE UPDATE QUICK FIX LIST by clicking this link

When reporting, please tell exactly which BROWSER you are using, which METHOD you are testing and DESCRIBE the steps to reproduce the issue in details, including the URLs where you see the issue.

iam-py-test · 2023-11-10T22:56:48Z

Disable everything other than uBlock Origin and see if it does away.
Then, enable them one-by-one and see which one caused it.
Thanks

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-11-11T04:34:15Z

@FrostedNiips Please follow the instructions in the top post

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-11-12T12:14:39Z

@somebody0278 Can you do these steps (follow strictly the step order, don't mix the steps orders, or skip any steps):

Click on uBO icon > ▤ "The logger" icon, it will open a logger window
Open new tab and reproduce the issue
Switch to the logger window that was opened in step 1, click on search bar, choose blocked
Copy the logger via 📋 export/copy button at the top right
Paste the logs here

Turmfalke2 · 2024-11-21T13:55:25Z

Might be NoScript related.

E: apparently https://jnn-pa.googleapis.com is now required to play videos longer than 1 minute.

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-11-21T14:18:19Z

Follow the first post before commenting here please

MonfGeiger · 2024-11-21T22:12:43Z

Do the videos play after the ads flashing in that new profile?

they did.........previously, but at this time, i have logged off of youtube in my default profile, cleared the cache, used CCleaner to specifically delete only the google/youtube cookies, then i switched to the test profile, made sure ublock was the only thing on there, everything at default, force updated the default selected filter lists, then i logged into youtube there, white listed youtube, ran a vid, got an ad, checked "Stats for Nerds", and in the section of "Mystery Text", i did NOT see SSAP, but instead SABR, and after removing youtube from the whitelist, and staggering a few youtube vids, trying to proc another ad, i have not had a youtube ad forced upon me, not a single half second ad blurb, and the SABR was not replaced with SSAP

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-11-21T22:42:13Z

When you don't run any blockers, ads can be normal or SSAP, it's random. Same happen after that too.

MonfGeiger · 2024-11-22T04:21:22Z

When you don't run any blockers, ads can be normal or SSAP, it's random. Same happen after that too.

so there's no guarantee that they WON'T go back to SSAP if i log out of youtube on the test profile and switch back to my default profile? this is one RNG i find myself disliking

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-11-22T04:26:12Z

Yeah, there's no guarantee. We used to have some cookies to test SSAP ads but very often, it's hard to reproduce the ads reliably and therefore it's difficult for us to investigate the issue too.

MonfGeiger · 2024-11-22T05:27:09Z

did i not give the required cookies needed to help pinpoint this issue? if it'd help, in this one instance, i'd gladly give them. like, whatever files or details needed, whatever i can provide that i haven't already, say the word and im on it

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-12-02T10:55:34Z

@MonfGeiger Do you still see SSAP ads recently?

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-12-09T23:55:05Z

Follow the 1st post please.

Benjamin8obadiah · 2024-12-11T02:51:46Z

ok, i follow the instructions and create a new browser profile (with ubo only) to verify the issue. the issue doesnt persist in the new profile. now how do i fix the issue in the old profile?

since the issue doesnt always show, and only happens occasionally when loading videos, how do i find which other extension or combination of extensions is causing the issue? without spending hours testing extension combos

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-12-11T03:04:16Z

oh, my apologies. i didn't think the specific issue was required. my comment here wasn't asking for a fix to this issue, as its already not an issue in another chrome profile. i'm just asking how to get the same result in the empty profile with just ubo and my main with many more extensions in it, without disabling each one for a day and testing like that.

the issue im having is ad remnants (in shorts player, on homepage load) and occasionally videos dont play and instead wait out the time it would take for an ad to play (about 20 sec). during this time the player is frozen and after, a full ad displays over the player with a skip button.

in terms of replicating this, it's very difficult. it happens completely at random and can not-happen for a few hours and them happen a few times in the next hour. it does end up happening a few times per day. so i used the other profile for a full day to see that it wasn't happening there. this starting about 3 weeks ago and i cant link it to any changes on my end, no extensions were installed to prompt the fist incident.

youtube shows no indication of blocking me for having an adblocker or anything of the like that was happening a few months back after the initial aug-oct phase. where at times the player would be blocked and the fix was refreshing the filter list. this is different. more like the ad is played in the background for the required amount of time that youtube wants you to see an ad for (i just see black and hear nothing) and then when yt decides you watched enough and the skip button would normally show (10,15,30s) then, a still image ad with a skip button loads in

it feels like ubo is like the fake town in wandavision and these ads and remnants popping up are youtube trying to get me out.

and i was very confused as i didn't see anyone else with this issue online, vs in the past where whenever i had an issue thousands of others also had the issue and were posting about it. which makes me thing its an extension conflict.

as for the required troubleshooting info, i will provide when the issue happens again. i don't know how to reproduce, it just happens when loading videos. no relation to video length or anything like that. no other possible correlation that iv seen

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-12-11T09:23:57Z

@Benjamin8obadiah Can you do these first:

Press F12 to open browser devtools -> Go to Console tab
Type

copy(yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS)

then paste to https://www.logpasta.com/ and share the link here

Type

copy(ytcfg.data_.WEB_PLAYER_CONTEXT_CONFIGS.WEB_PLAYER_CONTEXT_CONFIG_ID_KEVLAR_WATCH.serializedExperimentFlags)

then share the result like step 2.

stephenhawk8054 · 2024-12-12T17:43:32Z

If anyone is seeing videos stopping at 1 minute, it's because your browser / network / extensions settings is blocking jnn-pa.googleapis.com. uBO by default does not block that domain:

SO PLEASE FOLLOW THE 1ST POST.

Don't reply to another comment asking about information of another TOTALLY DIFFERENT issue.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE 1ST POST.

When trying to write into the comment section the text appears in black. It worked fine yesterday but all of a sudden it's doing that for all of YouTube. Strangely when I turn off Ublock the issue persists. Same with when uninstalling it but I guess Ublock might have bricked my Youtube in a way with a new update and traces of it are still left somewhere to cause this issue.
I don't know for sure if it's a Ublock or YouTube bug as it happened out of nowhere and all reddit posts about something like this date back 2 to 3 years ago so I doubt a bug that already happened made its way back again to YouTube.
Maybe a filter in Ublock has borked comments but I don't know which one as disabling/enabling uninstalling and installing again didn't fix it. Even force updating filters didn't fix it.
