I'm not sure which forum to put this, so I'll put it in the same one as the WiiU system update dns blocking threads I saw.
Anyway, I only have my wiiU for watching youtube and use it all the time on my tv, it's about all I use the WiiU for. I already used TitleDB to DNS block system updates.
A bit of context...
Last year, youtube's app was slow, took 5-6 mins to load the app for years, then in week 2 October 2020, they changed the gui and fixed almost every problem it ever had (though broke touch screen stuff and using keypad to enter search terms. Then they screwed it up again 2 weeks later, made it take 10 minutes to load the app... then made it damn near perfect late November and through December, it loaded in 20 seconds or less, ran quick, no lag, never a freeze or crash.
Since then, they broke it again, all kinds of problems, lag, freezing, crashing, an hour loading, then partly fixed so it was working but still slow scrolling the vid list and menus and 5-8 mins loading the app.
Finally, their update on March 17 fixed the laggy crap and essentially made it like the early October update. Still doesn't load the app in 20 seconds, but every other problem seems fixed again... though I'm sure they're going to break it again and I'm sick of it.
OK, so, the deal is, last weekend I decided to switch my DNS from my never-working openDNS block to this TitleDB DNS update blocker, which IS working (stopped the system update dl).... but YouTube still updated its app TWICE after I blocked the update servers with TitleDB. How?!
How can we block youtube from updating so it might be left on a non-buggy near perfect version? I thought the DNS blocks would stop this. Youtube keeps putting out WiiU updates more than every Nintendo update combined, I swear, every few weeks, and usually it fucks everything up. Is there another update DNS I need to block just for youtube updates that will let youtube just work without letting it update?
If the just left the damn app on whatever version they had in December, it'd be damn near perfect. They haven't even changed anything since then except to break it repeatedly.
