What's new since 1.1.0

  • Works with YouTube 21.43.523. Background playback and SponsorBlock skipping had stopped working
    after the YouTube update; both are back. (#3)
  • Update check. Once each time YouTube starts, the module asks GitHub whether a newer release
    exists and, if so, shows a YouTube-style dialog with Update (opens the release page) and
    Later. It is on by default; turn it off under About → Check for updates.
  • Report a problem. About → Compatibility & diagnostics → Report a problem opens a new GitHub
    issue with the compatibility report already filled in. Nothing is sent until you submit it.
  • New name: YouTube Hide Ads, matching the other modules. Settings, package and saved preferences
    are unchanged.
  • The About page and compatibility report show the real version again (1.1.0 showed 1.1.0 (132)).
  • SponsorBlock request failures are now logged with their cause.

Known issue: HTTPS filtering apps

AdGuard and similar apps, when their certificate is installed as a system certificate, stop
SponsorBlock and the update check from connecting (NOT_ENOUGH_SCTS in the log). Exclude
sponsor.ajay.app and github.com from HTTPS filtering. Details.

Verified

passes and every hook installs; background playback continued after Home and with the screen off for a
video opened from a link; original audio was selected on a multi-language video; the update dialog and
both buttons, the switch and the prefilled issue were checked. Device checks and limits.
