sponsoryeet

Automatically yeets sponsors away from the chromecast.

Like https://github.com/stephen304/castblock but not CPU hungry bash hack depending on an endless amount of supply chain attacks waiting to happen (aka. an average go project).

Dependencies

C++ compiler
OpenSSL or GnuTLS (only runtime, not to compile)

Has a simple HTTP implementation, mdns implementation and uses c++11 regexes for parsing the json, so no more deps.

Also uses a simple protobuf implementation to avoid the protoc/libproto mess.

It looks up a suitable SSL implementation when running, so e. g. if you cross compile for a raspberry pi you only need it available on the raspberry pi.

Building

Either just run make, or use cmake (probably better if you're not using a proper operating system).

Usage

Run "sponsoryeet" (from a terminal).

It will automatically discover any chromecast on your network (better than any other chromecast app I've seen, including Chrome), connect, wait for youtube to start playing and download a list of segments to skip, and skip them when they occur.

You can also pause/resume the video by applying pressure to your spacebar, and quit by pressing q or escape.

If you launch it with -v or --verbose it will print a lot of debug output.

Ad-block

If you launch it with -a or --adblock it will try to skip ads.

It will try to do so by stopping the video, and re-open it at one second past where it was.

I have Premium so I haven't been able to test it, but it should work in theory. I implemented it because youtube bugs out sometimes and shows me ads anyways, but it happens intermittently so I can't really test it.

Why

Because the other solutions are either written in fucking crystal for no good reason (why not just APL or REXX if you want to make it a pain for people to use your code, and it just uses go-chromecast for the heavy lifting anyways) and wants me to download a full distro in a docker container, are uglier hacks in PHP, or are huge ugly resource intensive nodejs hacks with a metric shit-ton of dependencies.

In short, the alternatives are huge, ugly, resource heavy cludges.

Hi @sandsmark.

Thoroughly enjoyed your README.md and wanna get this working as-is. Current build issues:
