Do you know if there’s a way for me to add something to my Pihole that would interfere with YouTube ads on the app on Xbox? I’ve been using wireless screen cast to use a laptop lately because the ad frequency has gotten so intense on the Xbox and iOS apps. Guessing it’s somehow being included online to the video streaming and I can’t use a browser/unlockorigin in the console so maybe there is nothing to be done, haha.
Youtube is always problematic as the ads are served from the same domain as the videos themselves. That means that DNS blocking doesn’t work. I have the same issue with a chromecast+youtube. I have no good solution there.
Pihole/adguard filter rule:

This should be a default for PiHole:
