How to block streaming media category but allow quota for youtube?

Hello,

I spent couple of hours reading this forum but didn't find satisfactory solution for my problem. I need to block completely "streaming media and download" category but allow 15 min quota for youtube videos. I set quota for googlevideo.com and youtube.com but it's not sufficient. Is there another way then adding hundreds of googlevideo.com addresses (r1---sn-4g5e6nes.googlevideo.com, r4---sn-4g5e6n7k.googlevideo.com, .......) to Web Rating Overrides? I can't believe nobody else doesn't have the same need.....

 

I have 5.2.10 firmware version/ FG 100D

 

Thank you

I achieved this by using Web Category Override, adding just googlevideo.com youtube.com and I think ytimg.com or similar and overriding them to a Custom Category, and then allowing that custom category. You can then apply the 15min quota to the custom category
