Skip sponsored YouTube content on all local Google Cast devices - GitHub - gabe565/CastSponsorSkip: Skip sponsored YouTube content on all local Google Cast devices
Hi everyone! I've been using sponsorblockcast for a while (which is a great project), but I always wished it was written in Go. The go-chromecast library that it uses is written in Go, so a Go app could connect to all devices within a single process instead of creating child processes for every device. I finally decided to spend some time writing my own, called CastSponsorSkip. All of the features of sponsorblockcast are re-implemented in Go, plus some additional privacy features. I wrote a comparison if anybody is curious!
Hello, sponsorblockcast creator here! Happy to finally see a Go implementation, great work! I ended up writing a short blog post summarising the history of the SponsorBlock clients for Chromecasts.
I love sponsorblockcast, but I had the same exact issue. In my case, sponsorblockcast usually uses 10% CPU, but would sometimes start using more and more. I've been testing CastSponsorSkip pretty thoroughly and haven't been able to get it to spike above 1-2% CPU yet!
I generated an API key, and ran the docker command; that’s it… done, working perfectly.
I’ve never used sponsorblock before, but it’s hilarious how well this works. It’s like an aggressive jump cut 🤣 and the poor segue to the sponsor segment doesn’t even survive.
