v2.8.1 Breaking risk
Breaking changes
  • YouTube screen IDs changed from 26‑character format to 64‑hex‑digit format, invalidating existing pairings and requiring re‑pairing.
Full changelog

Warning

YouTube has changed the screen ID format from 26 characters to 64 hex digits. Since the 15th April 2026 YouTube apps have started generating new IDs and revoking the old ones, breaking a paired iSponsorBlockTV.
The solution is simple, pairing the device again will (most likely) fix this.
