As a heads up, this requires root and Xposed/Cydia Substrate. ART users run away!
So I had recently acquired a Hulu Plus account and, as we all know, it is littered with ads! What to do?!?!?! The first thing I tried was AdAway, but that didn't work :/ Apparently the app brings up this error screen when AdAway blocks the ad. So then I installed Root Cloak and applied it to Hulu. Presto! AdAway is able to block the app without detection! Huzzah!

Doesn't work, as soon as it gets to an ad the app crashes. Says there's an error, if I disable AdAway it works fine again.

Same thing here.
Android 5.0.2 if that helps.

What os?
I got so excited for this. But this is really old post and certainly doesn't work.
That would be like using ad block plus and hulu on a rooted device. Hulu doesn't care about root. It needs the ads or it won't work.

Anybody else having this issue? tried both adaway and abp, neither one of them block ads. is there something im missing?
Adaway only works on rooted device with root privileges granted to it. Adblocker Plus, to my knowledge, doesn't work in browsers. For unrooted web browser adblocking, you have to use a browser with an adblocking plug-in like Firefox.
tablets def rooted, tried both. doesnt seem to block website ads like my pc does. weird.
That leaves 2 areas to look at:
1. adblocker configuration and the ever-popular Is It Turned On?
2. the browser you're using
On my rooted Nexus 7 stock 4.2.2, Adaway works swimmingly in Chrome but not in Firefox which needs it's own adblock plug-in. Perhaps Chrome counts as a "system" app while other browsers not using Chrome's rendering do not and, thus, no blockage occurs.
Try Adfree dude. Works nicely here
Find it on XDA.

yeh its weird. Thing is it will block some ads but not others. If I disable it, it blocks more ads then if it was enabled. But if I enable it, it doesnt block as many ads as my desktop browser. That makes no sense. At first I thought it was the hostlist, so I typed in the same hostlist i use on adb for my desktop (easynews) and still get the same results.

Thanks for this. Tried it, same thing. Blocks some ads, not all.
Anyone know if theres any way to block the ads in youtube on the nexus player? I usually do that with xposed. I didn't realize how many freaking commercials there were. And half of them I can't skip after seconds any more. The same commercials over and over...

I use adblock by BigTinCan, but honestly don't remember if it handles YouTube ads...
Don't use addblock or Aaddway the mess things up. Hulu always stopped and could never load the adds. Therefore I could never finish a show. I thought it was the np or the app for the longest time until I uninsulated my add blocker
Yeah I tried with ad away and just took forever before ad timed out. I have ads blocked with xposed on tablet and phone. Wasn't sure if there was an alternative

Add hulu to your whitelist on adaway to resolve that.
There is a working solution now. You'll need to install the correct version of Xposed on your Nexus Player and then install YouTube AdAway v2.6.1 to block YouTube video ads on this device.

Hey guys I flashed the official lollipop on my 9005 and it's perfect.
Only there's no xposed yet ?
One of the main modules I used was youtube ad away.
Is there an alternative out there?
I use Adaway without xposed. So why do u need it?
I think you miss read. I used youtube ad-away. And that is an xposed module.
Ad-away is stand alone app, not the same as youtube ad away

I never used youtube adaway from xposed module. So i cant imagine their differences. Have u tried both? Let me know any difference.
Dude just use lucky patcher. I used it to remove system wide ads and I have never seen an ad since then. It seems to remove ALL ads, not only the ones from youtube. It works great! I don't have a tutorial, but i'm sure that a google search will suffice.
If you further need help, PM me and i'll try to assist
Good luck dude!

Interesting, I've used lucky patcher before, didn't know it worked with youtube ads. My go to had always been xposed. I'd really prefer to use lucky if there's no choice. Just never been to keen on it. But i will try it.
yeah, lucky patcher patches the hosts on the system, so it blocks every ad. I don't have any other adblocker installed, so I just used that with a fresh install of 5.0. I didn't get any ads since then.
Can you confirm that it also works in youtube for sure?
Ok so I tried lucky patcher and blocked ads, but still getting them in youtube. So no luck as of yet to my question unfortunately
I don't get any ads in youtube. I think you can patch the youtube app with lucky patcher...

Patch it with what setting? I've removed ads in youtube with lp. I'm on lollipop of that makes a difference. I know chelpus had said that lp is not fully lollipop compatible
Toolbox>Block Ads>Block Ads on Device
I think that's how I did it.
I think it's done it! Thanks
So I'm having the issue where Google play says insufficient space. In the older lucky there was an option to remove backup or something to fix it. But I cant find that in the one im using 5.8 or something.
Any help
Has anyone had success blocking Youtube ads on stock firmware?
So far I've tried the youtube Adaway xposed module (Link)
Adaway root app (Link)
With MOAB ad block list (link to list from this thread Thread Link)
Sideloading a modded youtube app (Link), doesn't have a TV layout, and no controller support.
Has anyone had any luck blocking youtube ads? I was really hoping the xposed module would work, I've asked on the XDA thread for the module about adding support for android TV youtube and haven't gotten a response.
So now running 3.0 stock (not even rooted). I'm still getting Ad's in youtube, but now they're un-skippable, I hope someone can figure this out soon!
the old adblock android block youtube adds half of the time,but it create tons of other bugs soooo not that good.
root is recomanded

adaway,and adblock Android (not the browser) does it but you need root.
adblock was not updated for a long time I guess...
I am using it on Zulu stock marshmallow rom.

Sucks. I was hoping to keep the device stock as pursuing roms often ends up with other issues and constantly manually updating, and after spending so much time putting roms on my phones I think im done with that.
If anyone has a stock solution, i'll donate, because **** getting 20 identical unskippable ads a day.

adblock browser then watch YouTube from the desktop site. you can set it as the default option in YouTube site itself.
you just need to side load the browser app.
or buy YouTube red.
or pay OG YouTube no add function.
If you are rooted and don't mind installing xposed, since a couple weeks ago youtube adaway module now works with the youtube Android tv app.
Enjoy.
Been watching YouTube app for about an hour now, not one ad.
Stock rom, rooted, using adaway (just the apk, not the browser, not using exposed)
Update....literally watched for hours (3+) yesterday and never saw a single ad.
Btw, I was using MoaAB until recently. I found it was really affecting loading/buffering times with certain addons in SMPC. Redid my entire setup again, this time using just adaway and issues are gone (as well as the ads)
Particularly twitch -- on my old G3, I had Adaway, and it did an amazing job of blocking all ads from twitch, but now it seems that without reliable root (I know we just found root for the OG Pixel Verizon) there isn't a good one that covers all the bases.
Twitch is pretty ruthless with their ads, multiple times lately I've been in the middle of action watching PUBG and bam -- 6 ads pop up. Their algorithm is stupid that it doesn't control for activity or let the broadcaster play ads during downtime.
Does anyone have a good method of blocking Twitch ads and generally other ads? I don't like how Adguard makes you use those weird-as-**** web browsers, I wanna just use Chrome...
Blokada.org
Have you tried the Samsung browser. It has support for third party add ons like adguard content blocker and a ton of other great features like night mode and private mode with passcode.
Adguard is the best non-root adblocker out there.

I just tried this as well, and it only works with 'Yadex Browser' and 'Samsung Internet Browser'
I don't want to be using a different browser as I like Chrome.
Are there any non-root adblockers that work with Chrome?

when you install it - as part of the setup, it asks you to choose a browser - saying only 2 are compatible and asks you to install one. it won't get through the setup without installing on.
I've just chosen AdGuard from Google Play Store - is this the right one?

No, here is the app in question below. I doubt it's even uploaded in the play store just like Blokada.

Google bans all the full working ad blockers from the store. So any that you get or test will have to come straight from the developer.

Not true,it's works on Firefox,chrome, Microsoft edge Opera and app adds on your phone
Download app from website and go to settings and pick your filters
DNS66 works a treat...
Are there any that work on the facebook app? I still get ads in the middle of videos.
Is it safe to run Blokada and DNS66 together or will they fight each other?
Disregard - answered my own question.
I bought a cheap VPS server on OVH and install PiHole on it. Then I set up my WiFi router with the PiHole DNS. It brilliantly blocks ads at home.
I don't use those local VPN adblockers as they use a lot of battery.

Tried it but I can't set it up to block ads in apps. Works fine only with the browser.
