No Tracking of Youtube usage

[KaiHofbauer98]

While watching Youtube videos, I realized that OpenNetMeter isnt showing any Network traffic. 0B Down, 0B Up.
I scrolled around in some random Google Image searches, which generated Traffic in OpenNetMeter.
Again, after watching videos on youtube, the traffic dropped to 0B.

Tested with latest Chrome and Firefox versions on Windows 11.

Thanks for reporting this. I've investigated the implementation and confirmed that OpenNetMeter subscribes to both TCP and UDP, so it should capture all traffic including YouTube.

• Youtube buffers it blocks so you might see sudden down and up values in the speed and then stay at 0 for a while. maybe this is the case? keep watching the network speed for a while, while the video is loading. this is what i noticed.
  If you're still experiencing zero traffic for YouTube videos, please verify:
• Check if other UDP traffic appears, Try a UDP-based application (like a video call or online game) to see if UDP traffic is being captured generally.
• Provide more details — What version of OpenNetMeter are you using? Is it only YouTube that shows 0B, or all video streaming sites?

if it's still not showing up for you, there may be a specific environmental issue we need to investigate further.
