Problem with “Bloked!” when playing a video
I don't know if this assumption is correct, as there was no documents of this feature.
I think the expected behavior of this extension is as follows.
If you try to play a video that is registered in the blacklist or a video that is not registered in the whitelist, the message "Blocked!".
And the video cannot be played.
However, the actual operation is as follows.
- In blacklist mode, all videos can be played.
- In whitelist mode, all videos are blocked.
This issue is fatal when used in whitelist mode, even channels/videos added to the whitelist will be blocked.
The above problem only occurs when playing videos, and works as expected on the home screen, search screen, etc.
Maybe this is a problem that only occurs in my environment.
Could you please fix the above problem or make it possible to play the video even from the "Blocked!" screen?
The whitelist functionality (probably) does not exist in other extensions, so I hope this extension gets fixed.

Yes. I have confirmed this issue using Google Chrome on Windows 11.
I am using the latest version (Version 2.9.4) of YouTube channels blocker,
And all potentially conflicting extensions such as Adblock are turned off.
I use Youtube Premium and connect from Japan.
I will explain the operation I performed.
1. Open the "Youtube video and channel blocker" settings window and set the top switch to "White list".
2. Enter the name of the channel you want to display (in this case "Cinemassacre") in the Name field of the Channels tab and click Add.
3. All videos except "Cinemassacre" will disappear from the Youtube homepage and search results. (This behavior is not a problem).
4. When I click on the "Cinemassacre" video and try to watch it, it plays for a few seconds, then the video disappears and appears "Bloked!".

I have found that this problem only occurs with Youtube Premium; if this is not on Premium, it works fine.
Большое спасибо.
