Hi everyone! I’ve been using sponsorblockcast for a while (which is a great project), but I always wished it was written in Go. The go-chromecast library that it uses is written in Go, so a Go app could connect to all devices within a single process instead of creating child processes for every device. I finally decided to spend some time writing my own, called CastSponsorSkip. All of the features of sponsorblockcast are re-implemented in Go, plus some additional privacy features. I wrote a comparison if anybody is curious!

    Ummmm… this works amazingly well.

    I generated an API key, and ran the docker command; that’s it… done, working perfectly.

    I’ve never used sponsorblock before, but it’s hilarious how well this works. It’s like an aggressive jump cut 🤣 and the poor segue to the sponsor segment doesn’t even survive.

      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.
