Sponsorblock stats install#
You can install Docker directly or use Docker Compose (Or use Podman, Portainer, etc). Install sponsorblockcast-git with your AUR helper of choice or with makepkg. Whenever the Chromecast reaches a sponsored segment, the script tells it to seek to the end of the segment.Īdditionally, sponsorblockcast will look for skippable YouTube ads, and automatically hit the skip button when it becomes avilable.

Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about. If a Chromecast is found to be playing a YouTube video, sponsor segments are fetched from the SponsorBlock API and stored in a temporary file. SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos. The script will scan for all Chromecasts on the LAN, and launches a process for each one to efficiently poll it status every second. It was inspired by CastBlock but written from scratch to avoid some of its pitfalls (see Differences from CastBlock).Ĭare was taken to ensure it's fully POSIX-compatible, so it can run on lighter shells such as Dash.
