About

CastSponsorSkip is a Go program that skips sponsored YouTube content and skippable ads on all local Chromecasts, using the SponsorBlock API. It was inspired by CastBlock but written from scratch to avoid some of its pitfalls (see Differences from CastBlock).

This app is developed by @gabe565 here : https://github.com/gabe565/CastSponsorSkip

Feedback from @diamant-x :

Special attention that it only works when casting to a chromecast a youtube video. It mostly removes manual interaction, can't magically skip ads when they are forced to be viewed. Also, it doesn't seem to work when playing on an android tv through native youtube app, which would be a great addition, or on a smartphone.
