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.

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.

Didn't find anything search wise about this....but since updating manually, adaway doesn't work. It would always be 3/4 done and never reboot my phone. I'm sure it's because the last update for adaway was like Feb 2014. Chrome shows ads, which is frustrating to me because ads affect webpages loading and finishing!
Tried adblock plus, but that too isn't stopping Chrome from showing ads (and the notification bar was annoying, but I know how to turn it off...)
Any suggestions? Right now I'm camped in Firefox Beta until I can get a suitable way of blocking ads...

Do you have reduce data usage on in chrome under bandwidth settings? That feature sends all traffic through Google's servers and would bypass any ad block software you used. Adaway works fine for me on 4.4 with chrome.

I did set that up...
I'll turn it off and see what happens
Works!!!!
Whew....because ads are sometimes the worst. I hate flashing things in my face or the auto play types
I don't like AdAway, it blocks a lot of websites unnecessarily, and I get tired of adding websites under white list, so I am looking for something else. I have tried one app called Adblock Plus, but it doesn't work properly, I mean it doesn't block most ads, and it force closes a lot of time.
What do you guys use to block Ads on Chrome?

I know about Mother of Ad block, but the main question is, does it too block some websites, like AdAway?
Uh, Adblock Plus is a plugin for browsers, and Chome doesn't support plugins...
It does, however, work perfectly on Firefox.

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)
I discovered this by accident. I've rebooted many times and haven't had any ads for the past 5 days.
HOW TO:
1. Use XDA Debloater Tool to block all Amazon packages EXCEPT com.amazon.phoenix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
2. Reboot
Amazon Offers app will continue to run, but you will have no ads.
UPDATE: It can take 24 hours to take effect.
I tried this and got rid of all the Amazon apps but not the lock screen ad
This is cool, but I have concerns about how it actually works, and I don't care enough to research it. Cool discovery either way.
same here...i still have ads
It can take 24 hours for the ads to disappear. I just factory reset, took OTA update, and followed same steps. Ads were still there, but now 24 hours later, the ads are gone again!
It worked for me. One thing I cant find is the Amazon Video - I actually want to enable this. LOL.

I think com.amazon.avod is the Amazon Video app. Uncheck that box and see what happens. I doubt the ads will come back.
