Same problem here. Seems to be an error with Adblock.

Correct. Turning off ‘remove ads’ fixes this. But now I have ads :(

Same here. Issue doesn't go away when i disable remove ads.

@dev

any ETA when its fixed? This bug is really annoying. Thanks

[haomuch]

same issue for me. Tuned off remove ads can fix it. Wait for the ads module update.

It’s an interesting issue, I had the same problem for weeks now but yesterday it suddenly disappeared and it’s all normal again

[haomuch]

From the uYouplus enhanced project, which also finds this bug, spoofing to version 18.16.2 could fix it. But spoofing doesn’t work in YTLite Plus. Could the developer take a look at it?

It’s even worse now😭 Latest yt version…

I just wanted to inform you that this dayanch96/YTLite#71 is incorrect. I have tried disabling the 'Hide Shorts' option to fix the blank space problem, but it didn't work in my case. Some users on GitHub & Reddit have also reported facing the same issue in the past few weeks and disabling the 'Hide Shorts' didn't solve it. It seems that the only solution that works for everyone is to disable the ad-blocker, but that defeats the purpose of using YTLite. The root cause of this bug is the ad-blocker, not the 'Hide Shorts' feature.

The hiding short feature does put a blank space, this is a new bug, I don't have it myself but the two options put a blank space in the app. This is the biggest issue for now.

Checking in to say that this bug is still a problem on v19.19.5-3.0.1 when adblock is enabled.

I installed v19.19.5-3.0.1 two days ago. It was buggy when I first installed it, got fixed yesterday, but today it is back again.

[samuelc02]

This is so weird. Why does it only affect the "all" tab but not other tabs? And somehow scrolling down a screen and a half the videos reappear? Even though it's still bit buggy

[jerridev]

Yep. Either have no AdBlock or have to scroll through a buggy homepage, let's hope it gets fixed in a future release.

[binnichtaktiv]

@Balackburn will you update YtLitePlus? YTPlus version 4.0 was released yesterday but I don't think it will be open source. many bugs have been fixed and there are new features. I like this repo because it has all the tweaks I need🫶🏻

Any Updates?

[Balackburn]

@David735453 It should be fixed with latest version

[David735453]

@David735453 It should be fixed with latest version

It's working thanks for your Time to give us a wonderful YouTube Experience.

It is still broken for iPadOS, on both versions v19.21.3-4.0 and the latest v19.22.6-4.0.1. (#168)

Edit: Best "solution" I found is to just get uYouEnchanced (and if you want YTLite features, you can inject the deb from here: YTLite)

And copy-paste these into Settings -> uYouEnchanced -> "Paste Settings":

uYouAdBlockingWorkaroundLite_enabled: 0
uYouAdBlockingWorkaround_enabled: 1
removeYouTubeAds: 0
removeShortsCell: 0
hideCommunityPosts_enabled: 0
