[Completed] Xposed Framework Youtube Background Playback not working for me

I am having problems with the Xposed framework Youtube Background Playback module. I recently download Xposed so I could play my music in Youtube in the back round while my screen is off (10 dollars a month is too much to pay for that).I have android 4.4 Kitkat. i just installed the latest 1.8.40 update of Youtube Background Playback module and made sure my YT app was up to date. What am I doing wrong?
What you are doing wrong is asking how to bypass a paid feature, which is subject matter not discussed on XDA. :good:

YouTube ads play on the official YouTube app, despite YouTube AdAway

Hey there, whenever I watch any video on the youtube app, I always see some mod edit ads, at a point of time, I saw so many mod edit ads, and was way too pissed off, so I decided to block them once and for all!
I tried this, and it worked for some time.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-t2547316
Now, as usual, I am using a rooted phone and flashed xposed, installed youtube AdAway, and.....................................
Whenever I play a video on the official YouTube app.............
NOTHING'S mod edit HAPPENING, THOSE IRRELEVANT mod edit ADS PLAY (WHETHER THE VIDEOS ON THE OFFICIAL YOUTUBE APP PLAYS PROPERLY OR NOT) DESPITE THE YOUTUBE ADAWAY APP INSTALLED (WHICH CLAIMS TO BLOCK ADS)
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks
and sorry for the bad language, cos I'm a lot frustrated.
Every time you update the YouTube app ,you also have to reinstall YTadaway.
Actually, I noticed the same thing a few days ago, but I never updated YouTube or changed any of my settings for my rooted device. Not sure why the ads started appearing on their own without any software updates.
Sometimes certain modifications for applications only work for a specific update. Check if you have the same update version that supports Ad away.

I did it, I did as described on how to block YouTube ads, but still those horrible ads creep up, ads play whether the video plays or not.

Nowadays YouTube ads are annoying AF, I don't know why the YouTube Adaway app isn't blocking any ads

Youtube app

Figured this has been discussed many times, but could not find the details?
Was wondering if there was a way to get a youtube app installed on Webos that will play videos without ads? I know it may need to be rooted, so if thats needed thats ok. It seems like there is a way root now with 3.5 or lower.
I know with Android this is easy with or without root. So would like to do the same with LG SmartTV running WebOS.
you can probably add the urls for the ads to the hosts file which should stop them from loading

Can I do that not rooted?
URL blocking hasn't worked for well over a year with YouTube. PiHole and the like are ineffective.
You need a modified app that doesn't play ads, like you get for Android. I don't think one exists for LG WebOS.
Run youtube without ads on LG-TV
Have the Youtube app installed on the LG-TV (Useing this app direcly will always show adds on all youtube videos), if you have an android phone -Then google "YouTube Vanced" -its a modded adfree Android YouTube client, works on none rooted android phones. Run the app on your phone search for the Video then use icon to cast screen to the TV. Youtube app on TV will show the video without ads.
I guess you can do the same if you have iPhone and an youtube adfree app.

any update on this subject? unfortunately casting from Vanced is not a solution anymore, TV keeps showing ads which can be skipped after 5s of viewing. What is interesting - Vanced even displays a notification that TV is going to show the ad in a few secs
I just went to https://rootmy.tv from my LG TV web browser and it installed the homebrew channel, from that I was able to install the adfree youtube mod and disable my TV checking for new updates which might lose my root. It also includes SponsorBlock in the mod so it will skip annoying subscription reminders & in-video promotions.
Can you revert back if needed?
I have a 2019 model
