Android youtube app

[#1]

Anybody blocking the mobile youtube app ads, I seem to be getting ads still via youtube on my tablet. All my pc,s are being blocked ok via my block list on my local dns-cache.
As I understand it, they are using https to send the ads via the app now?
Any pointers please guys.

It shouldn't matter whether it is http or https. I don't/haven't used the app, but do use bigtincan's adblocker on my tablets.

I just need to understand how the app is bypassing my block list, but I can't seem to find the answer

This is odd, the ad appears just once now...
I've captured the dns request as follows.
r2---sn-2a0noxu-ajte.googlevideo.com        2  16.7  16.7
r2---sn-2a0noxu-ajtl.googlevideo.com          2  16.7  33.3
r2.sn-2a0noxu-ajte.googlevideo.com          1    8.3  41.7

I've rooted my droid to install Bigtincans adfree.apk but it does not block youtube ads.

Don't view utube on mine so can't comment on that. They do say you may need to reboot to clear the dns cache.

[#7]

Yeah done all the obvious stuff, still the same.

[#8]

Maybe the utube advert isn't an advert per say, but something they play infront of the video, I think I had heard that there were pre-video's displayed.

[#9]

I've read that somewhere,  but my pc's are using the standard yoyo block file with no sign of ads... go figure eh

But android is more tied to the Google machine, maybe that is why.

I'll try an ipad just to see what happens

Agreed, via the resolv.conf
I changed mine, this is what was causing the averts to slip by even though I was blocking network wide!
