PS: I also noticed that "Up next" suggested video banner is not hidden with "Hide end screen card and suggested video" switched on (autoplay is off).

Should i open new issue for this bug or just follow tracking it here?

This is autoplay preview container, not end screen card and suggested video

If it's not hidden even in the latest dev branch, then this is a new ad that is not being reproduced on my side.

You can extract the debug log by following the steps below:

1. Install ADB on your PC according to the docs.
2. Turn on Enable debug logging and Enable dubug buffer logging in RVX settings.
3. Enable USB debugging in Developer options in System settings.
4. Connect your phone and PC, and open CMD in the directory where adb.exe is.
5. Type the following in CMD:

adb logcat | findstr "LithoFilterPatch" > log.txt

6. Open a video with the view products banner.
7. Type Ctrl + C in CMD.
8. Attach the log.txt.

You can extract the debug log by following the steps below

I'm on Linux, so I used grep instead of findstr but unfortunately i get an empty file.

Filtering the logcat by the package name

adb logcat | grep rvx.android.youtube > log.txt

give me the output > 64f628f5af0dd2e64339d34d0d99d580

Thank you very much 🙏

[inotia00]

No debug logging included

Are these turned on?

2. Turn on Enable debug logging and Enable dubug buffer logging in RVX settings.

Command in Linux:

adb logcat | grep --line-buffered "LithoFilterPatch" > log.txt

[smed79]

Of course yes, Enable debug logging and Enable dubug buffer logging in RVX settings are turned on and also USB debugging in Developer Options but i still get an empty log.txt file with the command you have provided for linux.

I also tried via Wireless debugging using Shizuku + aShell You > Same thing, i get an empty file.

I don't know, maybe something goes wrong with my rom/device.
I will try to find another device for testing and see if i can reproduce the ads, then providing a log.

Thank you so much for your assistance.

You can also extract logs via the Locat Reader app

Try this:

1. Download and install the Locat Reader app:

F-Droid (summary)
F-Droid (direct download)

2. Enable USB debugging and grant permission by entering the following command from the CMD on your PC:

adb shell "pm grant com.dp.logcatapp android.permission.READ_LOGS && am force-stop com.dp.logcatapp"

3. Launch the Locat Reader app

4. Move to 3dot menu - Filters

5. Click the + button and type it like a screenshot:

and then, click OK

6. In RVX, turn on the following settings:

Settings - ReVanced Extended - Miscellaneous - Enable debug logging / Enable dubug buffer logging

7. Force close and launch the RVX again

8. Open a video with the view products banner

9. After about 10 seconds, back to the Locat Reader app and click 3dot menu - Save

10. Attach the log.txt

The debug log contains the keyword shopping_overlay.eml-js-b, which is missing from both ReVanced and RVX

Can you please add the keyword shopping_overlay to Settings - ReVanced Extended - General - Custom filter - Custom filter and report back if it gets hidden?

[smed79]

I confirm... Yes.

The added filter: shopping_overlay, successfully hide the shopping products banner 🎉

[smed79]

The patches v4.15.1-dev.4 successfully Hide products banner.

Closing...

@inotia00 FYI, I figured out that what was causing to get the empty log file is that Logger buffer sizes was turned off by mistake.
