Hey, it’s been a while but I wanted to give you a heads up that CastSponsorSkip will now skip YouTube ads when possible! Not all ads can be skipped, but it will mute them, and then skip them the second the “Skip” button appears.

Haha I’m glad to hear it’s working for you! The goal is to get rid of all of that junk so you don’t get distracted from the content, segue and all.

Hey! I love the post and the ASCII theme of your site. I just want to say, thanks for all of the work you did on sponsorblockcast. It was a great tool that I happily used for a long time.

Thank you!

I haven’t tested on Windows yet, but releases have Windows downloads! Did you get an error when you ran it?

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!

Thank you! I have to admit, it’s really satisfying seeing sponsored segments get skipped. Would definitely recommend!

That’s just the default, and I assume it’s mainly to make it easier for new users to start using Lemmy. It lets you change to any other instance during login.
