"NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist" is causing YouTube playback to fail

Hey all,

A number of weeks ago my YT playback was being buffer blocked and a ton of errors but none obvious in the inspector, only way top fix it was reload but typically the issues would start at around 2.45 to 3.15 mins time. I used a Safari blocker for the ads but the actual streams is the issue.

Tested disabling one list at a time (I only run 4) and when I disabled this "NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist" the YT streams are buffering as normal and fast. Same happens on macOS, IOS and iPadOS.

    I'm also seeing this issue, tried in Chrome on Windows, macOS and Linux. Disabling the NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist also resolved the issue for me.

    Use OISD and Hagezi filters instead. Nextdns updates their filter way too slowly

      Do you mind expanding on that OISD and Hagezi filters? Is that something to add to Nextdns?

        Those are just blocklists that you can find in the privacy -> blocklist section. With these 2 blocklist, you get the best protection possible from ads/malicious domains.

      you can read an easy guide how to config nextdns better here: https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config

      Hope this helps!

    I can confirm that the NextDNS filter blocks playback of YouTube Livestreams

    NextDNS's own filter is blocking 'jnn-pa.googleapis.com,' which causes YouTube livestreams to crash after playing for less than 30 seconds. Since their filter is not open source, there's no way to report the issue. I've already added the domain to my whitelist, but it's frustrating because I have many different profiles.
