place of the ads, and lasts about the same length of time.

Is that an improvement? Perhaps it's a minor one; at least there's no

Thanks very much. No time now. I'll look at it tomorrow.

You are welcome. Just figured this out — knew you could copy the URL and go
to the dialog. Was thinking of scripting it — but drag and drop works just
as well if not better.

Guess the script could be invoked from a hotkey — so maybe will still play.


Oh, I generally don’t see ads on live streams but it even works there. That
could come in handy for my media machine I use with a remote.

That's alright. I didn't bother responding to your other posts

say, here's two methods I use off the top off my head. One is the
same thing you've been doing, but I don't drag/drop the url...I'm
not sure the DE I'm using would let me; I haven't tried. G
Anyways, I fire up vlc, hit ctrl-n (file/open network stream) paste
youtube url. It works for some others too. I'm sure youtube is aware
of the fact vlc is stripping out the advertising...

Anyways, I use youtube-dl to pull those videos; all ad/commercial
free, of course; even if they wouldn't be if I viewed them via
youtube itself. That's one of the folders on my network for
electronics related things, obviously. I tend to preserve videos I
find useful/otherwise interesting. One can never be sure they'll
always be available on youtube. And besides, there's nothing like
having your own local copy of something.

Probably more ways to do it, but, I never really spent much time
looking into how to screw over youtube advertising. And, well, I use
vlc to do more than just watch videos - It's also what I use to
display the video feed from my digital microscope onto a much bigger
screen. Makes soldering easier in some cases.

Gremlin is just as lost. Which really is
fine but fun to note given how arrogant you two are.

I'm not lost, but, I can see why you might think I'm arrogant -
despite the fact i'm actually nothing of the sort. I admit, I do
come across that way from time to time - but it's NOT intentional.

So you have no idea

you're playing your usual games and trolling.

I responded to your idiotic trolling where you made the false claim about my
solution not existing.

what you showed in your little video is not ad blocking, nor does it
even work particularly well because it requires manually dragging the
url to another app. in fact, simply reloading the youtube page will
usually cause the ad to be skipped, without vlc involved at all.

actual ad blocking for youtube can be done using a content blocker
and/or selective dns blocking, but those are concepts well beyond your
abilities.




Hint: it does use common third party software.

'it' means a single solution, which means you're already behind the
curve, and 'common third party software' is meaningless.

you ain't fooling anyone.

Unlike you, I do not seek to fool anyone. I just have fun watching you and
Gremlin dig holes with your arrogance and ignorance.

thereby admitting what everyone knew all along, that you're trolling.

I do want to be clear: just because you are ignorant about SOME things does
not mean you are about ALL things. But you clearly were ignorant here..

the only person displaying ignorance is you, who is oblivious to how to
effectively block youtube ads, without requiring separate apps.

just
as you were ignorant when you cried about my noting how Apple is making it
harder to run Windows on Macs as they move away from Intel.

more of your fabricated garbage and yet another thing you do not

nor does it

No, it works great. In fact I have not found a single YouTube video it fails
for -- even live ones.


because it requires manually dragging the
url to another app.

Yes it does -- though I have talked about possibly making a System Service and
adding a hot key to it. If I did that I would want to make sure the web video
was paused first -- and sometimes I remember to do that and sometimes I do
not. Not sure if I could check that. I could, I suppose, either close or quiet
the tab. If I did this it would work only in Safari but that is OK -- it is
what I mostly used.


in fact, simply reloading the youtube page will
usually cause the ad to be skipped, without vlc involved at all.

You might bypass a startup ad, but not the ones that run in the middle of
videos. Or maybe you can reload again and again. For me that is not a good
solution -- I often am crafting and do not want to reload repeatedly during a
15-20 minute video.

For other videos I download and just watch on VLC or, more recently, Apple TV.
Of course pretty much any video viewer would work there.

actual ad blocking for youtube can be done using a content blocker
and/or selective dns blocking, but those are concepts well beyond your
abilities.

If you know of a good ad blocker that does that, especially in Safari, I would
love to see it! You are right that I have not found one and, given the nature
of Safari and its current plugins, it is beyond my ability. So happy to see
you are right TWICE in one post... even if what you are right about are,
frankly, simple concepts.

I do not deny I enjoy giving you and Gremlin rope to hang yourselves. You two
have an arrogance I find amusing. But here is the thing -- if you merely do
not respond with arrogance and other nonsense the "trap" I set for you fails.

I do want to be clear: just because you are ignorant about SOME things does
not mean you are about ALL things. But you clearly were ignorant here..

the only person displaying ignorance is you, who is oblivious to how to
effectively block youtube ads, without requiring separate apps.

The irony of this is you have failed to show a way that is likely to block all
ads, especially in Safari. But, hey, it is your arrogance we are seeing here.
You and Gremlin are a hoot!

just
as you were ignorant when you cried about my noting how Apple is making it
harder to run Windows on Macs as they move away from Intel.

LOL! You really do not remember the conversation we had from a couple days
ago. I find that funny.

Snit:

Thanks for finally getting this. Hence why it makes sense
to note Apple does not care enough about Windows to stay
on Intel.

nospam:
-----
idiot savant, Apple has intel virtualization technology
present on their silicon. They are not distancing
themselves away from Intel.
-----

But, of course, Apple says they are NOT providing virtualization to allow for
running Windows on future Silicon Macs. And of course Apple has been VERY open
about moving to Silicon and distancing themselves from Intel. I posted other
sources, including directly from Apple, but here is Apple Insider talking
about it:


https://appleinsider.com/articles/20...-apple-silicon
-----
Mac users who rely on Windows virtualization software
might be left in the lurch when Apple transitions to its
own custom ARM processors later this year, as the
company's Rosetta Intel-to-ARM translator does not support
virtual machine apps.

Apple outlined Rosetta's — technically Rosetta 2's —
limitations in a developer document posted to its website
this week, noting that while it can translate "most"
Intel-based apps, it is unable to do the same for virtual
machine apps that handle x86_64 computer platforms.
Popular x86_64 virtualization apps include products from
Parallels and VMWare that virtualize Windows environments.
-----

It was just ANOTHER area where you really had NO clue what you were talking
about but got really arrogant when you posted about how virtualization and
emulation are not the same, as if someone had said otherwise.

I had used the copy and paste method before and was thinking of scripting. I
tried the drag and drop method. It is so obvious and yet I missed it. One of
the things I like about macOS is drag and drop USUALLY works as you would
expect... so I *should* have tried this before. Was not as big of a deal
though until YouTube started tossing so many damned ads as they have
recently.

Anyways, I fire up vlc, hit ctrl-n (file/open network stream) paste
youtube url.

Yeah... as I show in the video that works, too... just not as fast. If your DE
does not support it, though, you do what you have to do. As I said I was
thinking of scripting it. Still might just to have a hot key.

It works for some others too. I'm sure youtube is aware
of the fact vlc is stripping out the advertising...

I would assume so. For longer videos I download them and watch that that
way... usually not with what I show in the video but with youtubepp. People
have to be careful about that though because it promotes pushing malware. Not
something I would generally recommend without big warnings.

Does it tell you it is blocking one or just play the video? My drag-to-VLC
method works great to just ignore them all, but of course it has the weakness
that I have to drag the URL to VLC! I do mostly use Safari, though, so few
plugins work... so likely gonna be my best method. If something for Chrome
works much better I might be more prone to use it.

It just plays the real video, although you do see the ad for about a fifth of a second, which makes me grin that I'm avoiding it. I wonder if Youtube then thinks I've watched the ad, therefore pays the video uploader the fee? Not sure who I'm ripping off but I don't give a ****.

Point is, you made another incorrect assumption concerning what you
thought I knew, vs what I do know. Thanks, but i'm not really
interested in reading your drivel as you avoid admitting your
hilarious mistake, here. I just can't waste the time with you on this
- I'm very close to having all of the components to my new coil
driver circuit soldered to the board. Then a bit more flux cleanup,
some wiring, a little more solder time, and testing stage!!!

That to me, is far more interesting than your childish excuses for a
reasonable adult post on usenet, as of late. Especially the results
i'll get if this circuit works as I expect it to. Sorry, high voltage
experiments are more interesting than you. They just are. They can be
a challenge. You aren't. Atleast, not so far.

Gremlin is just as lost. Which really is

Do you think, in general, arrogant people realize they are... and

I think some are aware of it, after being told they are by enough
people and provided workable examples. Obviously, ones such as
yourself, not so much no.

Either way I will reveal my ³trick² soon. It is based
on something I saw on a YouTube video but I streamlined it to
make it be very quick. Not sure if the same streamlining
works on Linux and Windows but the general method does.
Browser independent.

translated: doesn't exist.


So you have no idea â€" figured. But

Should be BET. Not saying I know for certain. Sorry Gremlin.

That's alright. I didn't bother responding to your other posts
mentioning me in this thread, and, I'm not going to respond to
your other snarky ones in this thread mentioning me, either.
Suffice to say, here's two methods I use off the top off my head.
One is the same thing you've been doing, but I don't drag/drop
the url...I'm not sure the DE I'm using would let me; I haven't
tried. G

You snipped ALL content. In short... you want to change the topic.

Point is, you made another incorrect assumption concerning what you
thought I knew, vs what I do know.

But then you snipped the evidence? And you say you know something AFTER I
posted a video on how to do it. Maybe you did. Maybe you did not. WHO CARES?

Your ego issues are YOUR issues. Not mine.

You say you knew at least some of that. Great. I am happy for you.

It was more fun when you were making claims about x86 being virtualized in
Apple Silicon so you could run x86 Windows on those to-be-released Macs.

LOL!

....

Still not as fun as this exchange you ran from:

Snit:
-----
The point I made was Apple is moving away from Intel —
where (general) Windows runs best. By moving away the
virtualization will likely not run as well.
-----

Gremlin:
-----
NO, Apple is doing nothing of the sort.
-----

But, of course, even Apple says they are not having Intel virtualization to
the level of allowing for Windows VMs. They simply will not run as well IF AT
ALL.

Hey, why don't we do a Zoom chat which we can share -- where you cannot run
away as easily? I would love it.

Oh.

You would not.



I'm not lost, but, I can see why you might think I'm arrogant -
despite the fact i'm actually nothing of the sort. I admit, I do
come across that way from time to time - but it's NOT
intentional.

Do you think, in general, arrogant people realize they are... and
admit to it?

I think some are aware of it, after being told they are by enough
people and provided workable examples.

So there is hope for you. Good.


Obviously, ones such as
yourself, not so much no.

You might bypass a startup ad, but not the ones that run in the middle of

that depends on the type of ad.

actual ad blocking for youtube can be done using a content blocker
and/or selective dns blocking, but those are concepts well beyond your
abilities.

If you know of a good ad blocker that does that, especially in Safari, I would
love to see it!

read the thread, where various options for both were mentioned, or use
a search engine to find something that does what you want, assuming you
have enough of a clue to know what to look for.

You are right that I have not found one and, given the nature
of Safari and its current plugins, it is beyond my ability.

i did not say anything about safari, nor are its plug-ins an issue, but
no matter the browser, it is indeed well beyond your ability.



just
as you were ignorant when you cried about my noting how Apple is making it
harder to run Windows on Macs as they move away from Intel.

more of your fabricated garbage and yet another thing you do not
understand.

LOL! You really do not remember the conversation we had from a couple days
ago. I find that funny.

Snit:
-----
Thanks for finally getting this. Hence why it makes sense
to note Apple does not care enough about Windows to stay
on Intel.

nospam:
-----
idiot savant, Apple has intel virtualization technology
present on their silicon. They are not distancing
themselves away from Intel.
-----

what's funny is you're so eager to attack that you don't even know who
said what.

i did not say what you quoted, something which should be obvious.

But, of course, Apple says they are NOT providing virtualization to allow for
running Windows on future Silicon Macs.

you are *so* incredibly lost and confused.

And of course Apple has been VERY open
about moving to Silicon and distancing themselves from Intel.

yet in another post, you said that more intel macs are coming, which
means apple isn't distancing themselves as much as you are now trying
to claim. you can't have it both ways.

I posted other
sources, including directly from Apple, but here is Apple Insider talking
about it:

-----
Mac users who rely on Windows virtualization software
might be left in the lurch when Apple transitions to its
own custom ARM processors later this year, as the
company's Rosetta Intel-to-ARM translator does not support
virtual machine apps.

Apple outlined Rosetta's ‹ technically Rosetta 2's ‹
limitations in a developer document posted to its website
this week, noting that while it can translate "most"
Intel-based apps, it is unable to do the same for virtual
machine apps that handle x86_64 computer platforms.
Popular x86_64 virtualization apps include products from
Parallels and VMWare that virtualize Windows environments.

that doesn't say what you think it does.

It was just ANOTHER area where you really had NO clue what you were talking
about

projection.

the only person without a clue would be *you*, as can clearly be seen
in this post and in many, many others.

but got really arrogant when you posted about how virtualization and
emulation are not the same, as if someone had said otherwise.

not only did *you* confuse the two, but you *still* don't understand
the difference, and then you have the gall to call others arrogant??

you're not fooling anyone by pretending to know things you do not.
