iSponsorBlockTV

iSponsorBlockTV is a self-hosted application that connects to your YouTube TV app (see compatibility below) and automatically skips segments (like Sponsors or intros) in YouTube videos using the SponsorBlock API. It can also auto mute and press the "Skip Ad" button the moment it becomes available on YouTube ads.

[!WARNING] YouTube appers to have changed the screen ID code format and is in the process of revoking all existing codes. This means that you'll have to pair your device again. You can find information on how to do that in the wiki.

Compatibility

Legend: ✅ = Working, ❌ = Not working, ❔ = Not tested

Open an issue/pull request if you have tested a device that isn't listed here.

*Ad muting won't work when using AirPlay to send the audio to another speaker.

** Shorts aren't fully supported due to limitations on YouTube's side. A single short can be seen by either selecting the "Disconnect" option in the warning shown or by long pressing the thumbnail to open the menu and clicking play from there

Usage

Run iSponsorBlockTV on a computer that has network access. It doesn't need to be on the same network as the device, only access to youtube.com is required.

Auto discovery will require the computer to be on the same network as the device during setup. The device can also be manually added to iSponsorBlockTV with a YouTube TV code. This code can be found in the settings page of your YouTube TV application.

Libraries used

• pyytlounge Used to interact with the device
