Describe the bug
It happened twice in two days, so not on every video, though I've never had this before happening using YTLitePlus.
A couple of times, before watching a video I got normal YT ads, check screenshots below.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Crash log (if the app crashes)
No response
Are you using the newest version of YTLitePlus? If not, why?
✅ Yes, I'm using the latest version of YTLitePlus right now
Does the issue happen with the official YouTube from AppStore?
❌ No, It doesn't
Additional context
No response
Same issue here on my iPad 6th Gen with iOS 15.4 (installed w/ TrollStore). Also seeing the sponsored banner ads at the top of the homepage.
Wondering if this is due to the server side injection of ads from YouTube? I faced the same issue as well on my app. No ads yet on my PC (UblockOrgin + Chrome).
Strange can't reproduce myself

Probably because of this. I can't reproduce on purpose myself, yesterday was watching quite a bit and never got an ad. Typical YouTube A/B testing I suppose.
I’m not experiencing any embedded ads, but I am occasionally seeing the banner ads at the top of the Home playlist.
I started getting ads as well

Wether it's jailbroken iOS with YouTube from App Store + YTLite tweak or this
Please open an issue on the dayanch96 YTLite GitHub
I meant that this still doesn’t block the ads as well
Also have this issue. iPhone 12 Pro Max 17.5.1 IOS 4.0 YT lite plus. My theory is that its the new ad injection T_T
I doubt it but maybe
From what I’ve discovered through testing is that Google has started implementing these changes within the last few versions. I’ve gone back to 19.21.3. So far it seems to have dealt with the injection and banner issues.
Edit: Spoke too soon, I’m still getting banners. But no injections, so that’s a plus.
Update: I’m occasionally getting injected pre-roll ads in videos, usually on channels that are high traffic money makers.
got a few as well myself today
Welp, ran into the same issue today.
So has anyone figured it out of how to fix this server side ads?
grr
I just got this, let me know if there is any fix
This happened to me too. It seems to be random when an ad shows up.
There is an issue in YTLite traking this problem: https://github.com/dayanch96/YTLite/issues/125
Should be fixed in v5 now
