I have a pihole and the youtube app on a smart TV. Trying to block the ad domains from the TV just bricks the app. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but, I got no luck.
You can't block youtube ads with DNS blocking; youtube serves ads from the same domains it serves the actual video from.
You need a custom youtube client like Revanced.
Yeah I figured they went the Twitch approach. Desktop YouTube I still have ublock for, but there's no hope for the TV.
