Hi there, I’m iSponsorblockTV’s maintainer.

If you’re running iSponsorblockTV, you’ll need to pair your devices again since YouTube have changed the screenId format and are on the process of revoking all older codes.

For those of you that don’t know, iSponsorblockTV allows you to use SponsorBlock on all YouTube TV devices (TVs, sticks and consoles). It can also click the skip button for you and mute native YouTube ads.

Sadly there’s nothing that can be done on my part other than pairing devices again.

EDIT: the new screen id will be 64 hex digits long, compared to the old 26 characters

Now with support for custom playback speeds

That’s great to hear

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

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

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

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

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

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
