    Clever hack! I didn't think the latency would be low enough for that, but I guess with some ad segments being upwards of a minute long these days, it's still worth it.For anyone who can load APKs on their TV and wants a more integrated solution, this alternative client works wonderfully https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttubeIt's at the level of polish where people didn't even realize it wasn't the official client for quite a while, until I turned on SponsorBlock that is.

    I’ve been using this a long time and it works great, possibly even better than you’d imagine it to work. You can even configure which types of segments to skip (e.g., sponsorships versus self-promotion).

    I’ve been using it with Apple TV youtube app for several months and I can say it works very well. Very little configuration, and it does the job. Can’t go back. Highly recommended!

    Anyone is aware of software which does the same but for podcasts? I've had built a downloader by qwen38 (https://cgit.euer.krebsco.de/makefu/podfetch) which does so via multiple programmatic approaches (keywords, sponsorblock-ml, neuralblock) but actually i think crowdsourcing the solution is the best approach here.

    FYI you should reword your headline and nomenclature. This makes it sound like you made a thing for YouTube TV (and it is not at all possible to block ads on live TV without pre-recording)YouTube TV is a product offered by Google and it's not at all the same as YouTube.

    How does it find out what's playing? pairing like a phone & listening to the API?

    But that’s how the content creators get paid, at least partly.Why would you not want them paid?

    This seems possibly abandoned, the last commit is over 3 months ago. Anyone know a fork or alternative that is more actively developed?

    Very misleading title, this has nothing to do with the actual app called "YouTube TV" (their IPTV service, tv.youtube.com).I was hoping there was a way to actually skip the ads on that app, but it appears unrelated.
