Solution

I used previous implementation for hiding mix playlists, it solved the problem. I used following implementation:

  private static boolean hideMixPlaylist(String value, ByteBuffer buffer) {
    List<byte[]> byteBufferList = new ArrayList<>();

    byteBufferList.add("for you".getBytes());
    byteBufferList.add("mix-watch".getBytes());
    byteBufferList.add("list=".getBytes());
    byteBufferList.add("rellist".getBytes());

    // home feed & search result
    if (value.contains("home_video_with_context.") ||
            value.contains("search_video_with_context.")) {

        for (byte[] b : byteBufferList) {
            int bufferIndex = indexOf(buffer.array(), b);
            LogHelper.printDebug(() -> "Hiding mix playlists in feed & search result");
            if (bufferIndex > 0 && bufferIndex < 1500) return true;
        }
    }

    // related video
    if (value.contains("related_video_with_context.")) {
        for (byte[] b : byteBufferList) {
            int bufferIndex = indexOf(buffer.array(), b);
            LogHelper.printDebug(() -> "Hiding mix playlists in related videos");
            if (bufferIndex > 0 && bufferIndex < 1500) return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

In filter(String, ByteBuffer) method:

if (SettingsEnum.HIDE_MIX_PLAYLISTS.getBoolean())
        return hideMixPlaylist(value, buffer);
