• Please wipe your blacklist by sudo rm /etc/pihole/black* or use the command sudo pihole -f
• because my previous development caused to block the youtube video itself
• The new script has been working great for me for the last couple days

log in your pihole admin > click on settings > blocklists then add this link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kboghdady/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole/master/black.list

• It will get the black.list from my Github which is updated daily or every two days
• It will update both the black.list and blacklist.txt files where the blocking of pihole happens
• It will remove any duplicates

it will be more effective if you add it the crontab

Steps:

1- Download the script from github using this command :

git clone https://github.com/kboghdady/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole.git

cd youTube_ads_4_pi-hole

sudo chmod a+x youtube.sh

2- Create a scheduled task to run the script:

sudo crontab -e 

Add this line to make it runs every 12 hour, but you can change it to whatever you like

0 */12 * * * sudo /home/pi/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole/youtube.sh >/dev/null 

Where the script location is /home/pi/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole/youtube.sh
