Now with support for custom playback speeds


That’s great to hear


Most SponsorBlock clients offer a way to whitelist certain channels so they aren’t skipped (iSponsorBlockTV does it), so that’s a good option if you like their sponsor segments


YouTube recently started showing a graph highlighting what sections of the video are watched more (when seeking with the cursor), so I assume they actually give creators proper metrics about this, and it could hurt revenue if sponsors ask to know the difference in watch time between their segment and the rest of the video


Yea - if you're manually skipping sponsored segments this is actually hilariously useful since when seeking through the video there will be a big spike at the end of every sponsored segment from all the sponsor block users.


AFAIK some people have used it on synology successfully in the past. A PR including specific steps would be amazing though


I spent about a month looking for detailed guides on how to add individual services to my Synology and just constantly being frustrated.

Then I found an extremely detailed but very opinionated guide on how to setup a suite of apps with docker compose and ssh because the author's were very much against the GUI and built in apps. It's been a much smoother and easier experience installing services since I no longer need to seek out half baked guides on someone who got it working good enough for them on their NAS.


Link?


I just tested it and it works just fine. YouTube seems to support multiple “mobile” devices connected to a single TV/console


Very neatly explained. I can confirm it does exactly that


Such an awesome piece work. Great job!


You just need to run the tool on a server/computer and connect the TV to it


It actually works for both. It will skip/mute YouTube ads. Only ads that have the ‘skip’ button will be skipped


Which is pretty much none these days.


I’ve found that having ads muting is much less obstructive. It’s not ideal but it improves it a bit


I wonder if they can overlay a GIF of a cat on top of the video when the ad is playing...


It skips sponsor segments using the SponsorBlock API and can also skip/mute YouTube ads. Devices don't need to be on the same lan to work
