ATTENTION
[!NOTE]
YouTube changes their detection scripts regularly. That means that sometime you can face the detection message. If all the following instructions do not work, please email [email protected] or wait until any update is available.
[!CAUTION] Please do not use another adblocker in the same time because using another adblocker can delay/lags the YouTube loading (e.g., AdBlock Plus and AdBlock)^1 OR interfere AdGuard's filtering functionality.
[!CAUTION] Please do not use an userscript related to the bypassing YouTube detection message like TheRealJoelmatic/RemoveAdblockThing. Recently, YouTube anti-adblock script added infinite dummy advertisements to try to neutralize the userscript. ( TheRealJoelmatic/RemoveAdblockThing#264 )
[!WARNING] Please check that there no another web browser extension that has adblocking feature is enabled on your web browser. It can interfere AdGuard's filtering functionality.
[!IMPORTANT]
Saving memory feature of your web browser or sleep feature of your operating system can interfere AdGuard's filtering functionality. In this case, please re-enable AdGuard's filtering by toggling the protection toggle. Following the instructions can be needed.
The instructions
- Force to update the filters by clicking the reload button in AdGuard Browser Extension/AdGuard mobile or update tray menu in your system tray. [^2]
- Reload the YouTube webpage without cache by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R [^3].
- Clear cache, cookies and site data of your web browser.
- Re-open your web browser completely (checking your system monitor[^4] will be better).
[^2]: AdGuard for Windows; AdGuard for Mac; [^3]: On macOS, Command + Shift + R [^4]: Task Manager on Windows, System Monitor on GNOME Shell, KDE System Guard on KDE Plasma or Activity Monitor on macOS.

@varunkarthic Cannot reproduce. Does it happen with account or also without it?
@varunkarthic Cannot reproduce. Does it happen with account or also without it?
For me it happened even after I signed out..
@varunkarthic Ok, could you please export HAR after reproducing in a private tab (without sign in)?
How to get a HAR file:
https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/har_analyzer/
Open dev tools before visit YT, or refresh a page after opening the dev tools.
This option must be enabled
idk why but I am unable to reproduce the issue either.., i think that might have happened due to a glitch or something..
@varunkarthic I'm glad to hear that:)

Tenendo attivo AdGuard, il player di YouTube non riproduce nulla, né pubblicità né video. Resta la schermata fissa "Si è verificato un problema. Riprova più tardi. 282054944". Disabilitando AdGuard sulla pagina web, il player funziona correttamente, si riproduce la pubblicità e, subito dopo, il video. Username:

If this happens to those chosen for SSAP, I can't reproduce ofc. It's likely we need an account sharing.
@Dan Please press F12 to open devtools, move to Network tab, filter by player?, and click on videos. If the error happens, choose the bottom row and navigate to Response tab in another window. Copy the content of it and share this with something like pastefy.app as illustraged in https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/172033#issuecomment-1987141988
@varunkarthic Follow the described process if you see the error next time.

With AG enabled, most youtube videos throw the attached error. As soon as I disabled AG the video would play as well as subsequent videos w/o issue. It may not be AG's fault, but it's the only constant I can find to resolve the issue. Username:

That's not a real fix, only postponed the problem by untargetting you from youtube's lockon. If you get the error next time, don't clear cookies and provide player? request for us to diagnose the real cause.
@Yuki2718 I got the same error again.., but the i don't see any messages in dev tools (i tried reloading the page while dev tools is open as well.., but no change)

The problem is when Adguard is enabled.
Maybe YouTube can find a way to block an adblocker user. Username:

Z początku jak zainstalowałam rozszerzenie Adguard wszystko działało poprawnie, filmy odtwarzały się płynnie. Jednak po jakimś czasie filmy odtwarzane w pełnym ekranie niestety się zacinają. Nie jest to wina mojego internetu, gdyż bardzo dobrze on działa. Username:
