List the website(s) you're having issues:

https://www.lydogbilde.no/test/hi-fi/hegel-h120 (and also all other sites with any YouTube embeds of any kind.)

What happens?

||youtube.com/get_video_info?$domain=youtube.com in EasyList causes all YouTube embeds of all kinds on all third-party sites to fail to load, and therefore that entry should be removed ASAP.

List Subscriptions you're using:

I was just going to report this issue myself, but you beat me to it! :)

Immediate action required!

[sailerinteractive]

I can confirm this. Seems to break YT embeds on many websites.

@mapx- / @okiehsch

Considering the severity of this breakage, perhaps this fix could be added to 'uBlock filters - Unbreak​​​​​', for now?:
||youtube.com/get_video_info?$domain=youtube.com,badfilter

[mapx-]

unbreak list has this filter: @@||youtube.com/get_video_info?$xmlhttprequest,badfilter
(due to ads on YT - maybe it was already removed from easylist)

killing the filter above could bring back the ads but not breaking the embeds?

[THEtomaso]

I've been using ||youtube.com/get_video_info?$domain=youtube.com,badfilter for over an hour now.
Haven't seen any ads.

[gwarser]

youtube.com/get_video_info was blocked only when requested with =adunit& parameter (old fix for ads on UK YT) ryanbr attempted to fix "error occurred" issues by whitelisting it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/fco9lr/ublock_origin_preventing_youtube_videos_from/fjcxbm0/

This caused surge of reports about ads, I called him on Reddit and he changed it to blocking filter. (Misunderstanding?)

[ryanbr]

Okay, removed filter.

[ryanbr]

Can't win when a whitelist to attempt fix the YT errors, causing ads. then the same filter also has issues if blocked. Sorry

[mapx-]

Could this work ?

Player at editor page is broken by recently added rules:

@mapx- in this way all /get_video_info? requests will be unblocked:)

[okiehsch]

How about

[Alex-302]

How about

I don't know. With old rules only I had no issues.

For folks landing here from Google and using uBlock Origin, go to the extension options, then click "Filter Lists" and then purge + update to fix the problem. For me even though EasyList was updated, it wasn't reflected since it was still caching the old list 😄

Thanks for fixing this!

[DandelionSprout]

It's normally also possible to click on the clock icon to the right of the individual lists you want to force-update, but your method works too.

[bumsenbrenner]

No the problem still persists

[StructByLightning]

Disabling "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension made it work for me. I think it was interacting badly with UBO since disabling UBO also made it work, but I'm not really sure what's going on beyond that.

[patricknelson]

@StructByLightning if it helps, I actually have a similar extension which seems to not interfere called AutoplayStopper which might work as an alternative in case you still want that functionality without interfering with the embedded <iframe> problem.

You don't even need a separate extension. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/StopAutoplayOnYouTube.txt

[Squall-Leonhart]

||youtube.com/get_video_info?$~third-party is also breaking embeds
