Usage

Run iSponsorBlockTV on a computer that has network access. 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 application.

It connects to the device, watches its activity and skips any sponsor segment using the SponsorBlock API. It can also skip/mute YouTube ads.

Libraries used

• pyytlounge Used to interact with the device
• asyncio and aiohttp
• async-cache
• Textual Used for the amazing new graphical configurator
• ssdp Used for auto discovery

Projects using this project

• Home Assistant Addon

Doesn't appear to work on Onn TV bare metal

I'm testing on an Onn Android TV device and it doesn't seem to be working, but I'm not quite sure if I have everything set up correctly.

I am running your app on my PC, have linked with a code (your app shows a device screen id for the Android TV device) and have gotten a YouTube Data API v3 key to associate. Is this correct? I couldn't find any step by steps for making sure I config this correctly

I tried a SponsorBlock video id that is in their database and it is still playing sponsored ads at the beginning, etc.

Add Youtube Data API to requirement

Hello,
For people that are not familiar with the Google Cloud Platform I think it could be helpful to specify the necessity to add "Youtube Data API" with the project created to get API keys.

During the setup, the installer redirects to a Google Page explaining how to get an API key but nothing about the YT API.
Maybe an extra line saying "Don't forget to add Youtube Data API to your project" ?

It may appear silly but it was the first time I used the google platform and I stupidly lost an hour searching why iSponsorBlockTV didn't worked on my Apple TV x)

Otherwise everything works perfectly, thank you for the project !

A way to have it automatically update and pull new info from the sponsorblock server?

Is there a way currently to have it pull new data automatically once a day instead of manually rebooting the docker container?

"Could not load config file"

docker run --rm -it \

-v /isponsorblocktv/app/data
--net=host
-e TERM=$TERM -e COLORTERM=$COLORTERM
ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv
--setup

Running this on my raspberry pi through SSL (using root) keeps bringing me the error "Could not load config file"

Nothing happens after last setup command

Describe the bug
I run ./iSponsorBlockTV --macos_install but after that nothing happens.

SSL error in data received

Hi, great work, just super excited to see this in action. It seems my setup is detecting sponsor segments, but I'm getting an error. Hopefully this is helpful:

SSL error in data received

For what it's worth, from my searching around, I found "SSL error in data received" popping up for others in a separate project here matrix-org/pantalaimon#10 (comment). Not sure if what they're saying there about python 3.8 is helpful, but thought I might share that.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run main.py after ensuring dependencies are available and adding credentials, yt api key, and atv identifier to config.json
2. Pick some new L*nus tech tips video as that youtuber seems to be pretty much all sponsor (matter of fact, SponsorBlock has a new feature that labels the latest video of his as "entirely [sponsor] category"
3. See error (any time a sponsor segment is reached on the ATV)

Expected behavior
Segment skipped

Container error after setup

Describe the bug
Getting the following errors in my docker container. I used the run command with net-host to do the initial setup (which there really wasn't anything to configure), saw a "Youtube on TV" device which I assume is my CCwGTV, entered my YT API key, confirmed the generated config.json file. Ads are not muted or skipped on this device, however.

Segments too close together, only skips one

Before opening an issue make sure that there are no duplicates and that you are on the latest version.
Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
When there are two segments too close together only the first one is skipped
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Video: -fEjoJO4lEM
2. Use skip_categories: sponsor and intro

Sponsor segment not skipped after manually seeking

As the title says, the sponsor segment is not currently being skipped if you fast-forward or rewind a video.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Play a video on YouTube
2. Skip forward or rewind the video.
3. Ad will not be skipped

GUI setup terminal colors

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to terminal.app in macOS

2. Run the recommended docker command to use the GUI install

   docker run --rm -it \
   -v {my_path}:/app/data \
   ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv \
   --setup

3. See difficult to read text due to lack of 256 color support

Expected behavior
GUI is visible in the default terminal in the OS without needing to enable additional colors. It looked normal when launching with iTerm2

Hmm doesnt seem to work here

Hey,

it doesn't seem to skip anything i tested it with 10+ videos from LTT

{"atvs": [{"identifier": "58:D3:49:CC:0E:25", "airplay_credentials": "63ab822772c306fd1623811ac0a3a99a1c....."}, {"identifier": "EC:A9:07:14:61:60", "airplay_credentials": "d641c673b0c2021b36933b7c0357e7d....."}, {"identifier": "40:CB:C0:B2:DE:D1", "airplay_credentials": "0b0117987330c8ac69c2047b679cd71...."}], "apikey": "AIzaSyAkexkdL....", "skip_categories": ["sponsor,", "selfpromo,", "exclusive_access,", "interaction,", "poi_highlight,", "intro,", "outro,", "preview,", "filler,", "music_offtopic"]}

Anything i could do to help?

New Apple Tv not found when running setup

I got a new apple tv and when I run the setup it isn't found, no identifier or airplay credentials are added to config.json. I deleted all and tried a fresh install but that also didnt work.

I run this
docker run --rm -it
--network=host
-v /volume1/docker/isponsorblocktv/config.json:/app/config.json
-e PUID=0
-e PGID=0
-e iSPBTV_docker=
ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv
--setup

in terminal I see
Found 0 Apple TV(s) in config.json. Add more? (y/n) y
I hit y but it just asks for my API key next.

output looks like this:

{"apikey": "6...", "skip_categories": ["sponsor", "selfpromo", "exclusive_access", "interaction"]}

with none of the

"atvs": [{"identifier": "D261...", "airplay_credentials"

I also tried installing docker on my mac but get the same output. On the Apple TV settings Airplay is on and Allow Access is set to Same Network. All devices are on the same network.

Must be missing something here but I am out of ideas.

If there is another way to get the identifier and airplay credentials I am happy to update the config file manually. Open to options here.

Add support for whitelistedChannels configuration

Sponsorblock itself has a "whitelistedChannels" configuration that allows certain channels to not have skipped ads. From what I can tell, this project doesn't support this at the time. As a handful of channels surprisingly have entertaining ads, I'd love to have this feature. Any plans, or am I just attempting to configure it the wrong way? For example, I tried adding just below skip_categories, as some of the browser extensions allow:

"skip_categories": ["sponsor"],
"whitelistedChannels":["agingwheels","3Dbotmaker"]

why? what happend?

my docker system support host mode

docker run -d \ 
--name=iSponsorBlockTV \ 
--restart=unless-stopped \
 --network=host \ 
 -v /opt/iSponsorBlockTV/config.json:/app/config.json \ 
-e PUID=0
-e PGID=0
ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv 
--setup

get error

"Could not find video id" Using a 2022 Apple TV 4k

I am running an Apple 2022 4k now and was able to get past the issues with it not detecting during setup.

But once I have the API key added, it will pull the video ID up but not load any of the sponsorblock data to skip segments. Please see attached for the debug log and screenshot of console.

Jailbroken Apple TV?

Hi,

Do you think it would be possible to run this directly on the Apple TV if it were jailbroken?

Given that a jailbroken ATV can be attached to via SSH, and the filesystem is open to modification, could iSponsorBlockTV be installed and run directly on the device, without the need for another device?

If so, what changes would need to be made, and what requirements would be needed of the ATV in terms of available commands installed for it to work?

Thanks for a great tool!

Docker image no longer recognize my config.json

Hello,
I realized that since several days ads were not skipped anymore. I checked the container and saw that it crashed. When I try to launch I now got the message "invalid config file, please run with --setup"

Maybe it is related to a recent commit ?

Anyway, I tried to reconfigure it, with --setup but got

Docker Installation Newb Issue

Hi, I am new to this world and just got a synology NAS with basically everything setup in docker. This sounds like a dream come true but I can't get past the installation steps.

I create the empty config.json file on my NAS. SSH in and run this:

docker run --rm -it \
--network=host \
-v /volume1/docker/isponsorblocktv/config.json:/app/config.json \
ghcr.io/dmunozv04/isponsorblocktv \
--setup

Which gives me this error:

You are running in docker, you have to mount the config file.
Please check the README.md for more information.

apple tv 4k 2022
tvos 17.1 beta
running through docker on ubuntu server 23.10

Set up on LG TV works on YouTube but blocks all other streaming services

I've got this running as a container on an Ubuntu 20 VM and it works great for automatically skipping sponsored content in YouTube on my LG G3 TV. I noticed after setting it up that I was then no longer able to stream any content from multiple streaming providers, including Netflix, Max, and Disney+. I could bring up the UI and select something to stream but the result was the same on all of them - they tried to start streaming and eventually failed. After I stopped the iSponsorBlockTV container I was immediately able to stream from these services.

The Docker container runs on an Ubuntu 20 VM running on ESXi (x86). The device is an LG G3 OLED TV running the latest version of webOS.

I am not sure why this is interfering with other streaming services on the webOS TV but it clearly seems to be. Any idea why this is happening?

JSONDecodeError when running main.py

Hello, I have followed all setup instructions; Installed dependencies, grabbed Identifier and credentials and filled in config.json.
When running "python3 main.py" I get the following error.
I have checked for issues in config.json and all looks ok. My knowledge of python is very limited so I am hoping you have an easy answer.

Thank You. Cool project, looking forward to the Docker deployment!

Error with cache import

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/test/Downloads/iSponsorBlockTV-main/main.py", line 5, in
from cache import AsyncTTL
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cache'

Any ideas? I think dependencies are installed correctly from requirements.txt and API key is saved in .json file.

EDIT: requirements.txt still lists async_lru as dependency instead of async-ttl. I installed async-ttl manually with "pip install async-ttl", but I get the same error still. All other dependencies seem to be installed. No idea what the module cache error is. Thanks

stale app identifier, skips not restricted to app.identifier == "com.google.ios.youtube"

I get attempted ad skips when using the non-YouTube apps on the Apple TV.

For instance, when watching FBI S04E14 Pride and Prejudice in the Apple TV's "Computers" app, the script searched YouTube and found 4jwUXV4QaTw (which is a YouTube video on FBI body language analysis,) and executed both of the skips despite not watching YouTube.

I see in the source:
playstatus.device_state == playstatus.device_state.Playing and app.identifier == "com.google.ios.youtube"
which seems like it should prevent that, so now I'm wondering if the app identifier is stale.

When I originally launched the script, I was in the YouTube app, but later switched to other apps. I haven't tested to verify, but I have noticed behavior possibly consistent with the identifier being cached at launch, and not updated. For instance, I think I've noticed the script continues to not work if the Apple TV isn't in the YouTube app at script launch.

Identifying ATV on network fails

Installed via Docker on MacOS.
Using pyatv, I found my ATV identifier:
04:4B:ED:99:FB:XX

I then used pyatv to find the airplay_credentials:
d6683fd0d2bdfca0926bfd5366b4f07191a9566fb8da04f3c03e90e76f544fc3:3a870e73c4621966cb3dadada32cc8d7e5c777f38efb9fe523118b79f699c413:36323839413335382d343336312d343945392d414442332d454241333046303144424239:39386336373835632d666330332d343463352d386561362d3337626639306637656162XX

I've updated the config.json file with these two inputs, but after restarting the docker, this is the logs I see:

Discovering devices on network...

Seems to work fine on Roku

Saw that Roku was listed as untested, so tried this out with a couple of mine. Linked up fine with the codes and Just Works like magic. Completely fantastic.

Failure to Launch - not sure if it is a bug

Hi there - I see this error while attempting to launch the plist:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.dmunozv04.iSponsorBlockTV.plist

Error:

Load failed: 5: Input/output error
Try running launchctl bootstrap as root for richer errors.

Has anyone else run into this error?

Thanks!

Windows install

How do I install in Windows?

"Please move the program to the correct path"

Installing on MacOS.

The wget produces the wrong file name, but after renaming it to iSponsorBlockTV, following the rest of the script I get to

./iSponsorBlockTV --macos_install

This gives me:

Please move the program to the correct path: /Users/<me>/iSponsorBlockTVopeing now on finder...

Note the typo and lack of space.

The instruction seems to be to move the file to where it already is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow the instructions provided, except after the wget step, rename the file.

Note also that the Mac doesn't by default have wget installed. Suggest instructions for using say curl.

Expected behavior
The installer should run.

Describe the bug
This is my first install. I used pyatv and the first time setup to complete the config.json. The script runs and looks like its working in windows. But no sponsor segments are skipped. I tried rebooting the computer its installed on, rebooting the apple tv, and trying multiple newer and older videos on youtube.

Docker currently works but it isn't perfect. List of issues (saving this here for future me)

• Armv7 isn't supported

• Docker doesn't print any logs

I have a docker in openwrt. installed iSponsorBlockTV

noob user: After iSponsorBlockTV installed,why nothing happened? do I need install python on openwrt?

Could not find video id

Hello,
The tool is working fine but on some videos, sponsored messages don’t get skipped. I checked the logs and it seems that the error "Could not find video id" is the problem.

For exemple it works with this video of Linus https://youtu.be/BtFdraQWVtM but not this one from Nozman https://youtu.be/A66mibBBAoo

Docker container restarts over and over

I attempted using the MacOS installer, but since I'm on an M1 it didn't work and I'm using Docker.

I entered the first docker command, and it didn't find my ATV:
