Adding ammount of time in "Runtime blocking" of X-90 seconds makes everything below video dissapear
Reproduce: "Runtime blocking" set to specific settings:
First part can be anything Second part can be anything from 0 to 89 seconds If you put anything higher than 90 everything under thed currently playing video dissapear
What I tried: Reinstalling the extension Disabling every other extensions Incognito mode Other browsers Safe mode
With "Runtime blocking" set to 89 seconds
With "Runtime blocking" set to anything higher than 89 seconds
Add this in advanced settings:
// Video length - Use this over built in | Bug: https://github.com/amitbl/blocktube/issues/389
if (video.vidLength<=120) { // Value to change
return true;
}
Got this from: Exceptions for subscribed channels
Yes, and it worked for me, but my CPU was "overloaded", so I got AI to write a TamperMonkey script instead; it's more consistent and faster. It needs additional testing and cleaning before I'll put it on greasyfrok (if I do).

/*
1. Write a perfect global YouTube TamperMonkey script that removes everything video below 2 mins and you can maybe use the variable: video.vidLength
2. Console log it accurately too so I know how many you've done + that it works
3. I want it to remove the videos results IE: ytd-rich-item-renderer, ytd-compact-video-renderer, ytd-video-renderer, ytd-playlist-panel-video-renderer
4. Make it give me the title of the video + length of video in the console log and make it NEVER show ones with 0
5. MAke it so it ALWAYS gives a video title then length of video... Some console logs are only giving the time for some reason
6. It's still showing some that just give me the length can you fix that or not show them? Either one, your choice
7. Make it so the time in the console like shows as blue text, the title as orange and the removed: as red
8. That fully stop the script from working or showing anything

I've had nothing but strange issues with Blocktube, which is a shame. I hope he fixes them at some point if he's still working on it, and I hope that little snippet works better for you than it did for me.
Everything I have in my Advanced Configuration so far, if you're curious:
Blocktube Advanced config filters (not all work, but you get the idea)
(video, objectType) => {
// Check if video is older than specified years
const isOlderThan = (years) => {
const match = video.publishTimeText.match(/\b(\d+)\s+years?\b/i);
return match && parseInt(match[1], 10) > years;
};
// Check if video duration is within a specific range (in seconds)
const isDurationBetween = (min, max) =>
video.vidLength >= min && video.vidLength <= max;
if (
// Video type filters
Number.isNaN(video.vidLength) || // Remove Premieres
video.badges?.includes('live') || // Remove Live streams
video.publishTimeText.includes('Streamed') || // Remove streamed videos
// Duration filters
isDurationBetween(0, 120) || // Remove videos shorter than 2 minutes
// isDurationBetween(3600, Infinity) || // Remove videos longer than 1 hour
// Age and engagement filters
isOlderThan(3) || // Remove videos older than 3 years
video.viewCount < 10000 || // Remove low view count videos
// Quality and format filters
video.badges?.includes('4K') || // Remove 4K videos
video.badges?.includes('HDR') || // Remove HDR videos
video.badges?.includes('CC') || // Remove videos with closed captions
video.badges?.includes('New') // Remove newly uploaded videos
) {
return true; // Remove the video if any of the conditions are met
}
return false; // Keep the video if none of the conditions are met
};
