Currently I am using Docker 20.10.0 and the latest version of castblock.
Every 10 minutes the container crashes.
This causes that castblock is not able to block the ads until the container restarts.
Also it would be clever to implement a healthcheck

Potential config options:

• type of segment to skip (sponsor/intro/self promotion/etc)
• minimum segment length (default is 5sec i think)
• polling interval (performance reasons)

I'm fairly certain I can reproduce this, I suspect related to not clearing out segments when switching content.

This project seems absolutely amazing, love what you've created here. Would be fantastic to have an official docker image to pull!

There appears to be a constant stream of data being written to the disk at all times when castblock is running, this is on an Arm system booted off an SD card.

There are no casts running.
Kernel CPU usage is constant 100% when castblock is running
my /tmp mount is tmpfs

I'm trying to use this great implementation on my Raspberry Pi alongside Pi-Hole, which I imagine many people would like to do as well. If you could create a Docker image that works with Raspberry Pi, or another installation method that isn't AUR or Docker specific, that would be much appreciated 👍

Details: When I try to run "docker run --network="host" stephen304/castblock", I get the error "standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error", which I have searched is an architecture mismatch issue I think?

Either detect when run in a terminal or have a quiet flag? Maybe use a single line output format so systemd status can be more useful when debugging

Currently idle chromecasts are polled at the same frequency as playing chromecasts. Maybe this is moot if we use go-chromecast watch, but it may help reduce cpu usage of the script.

If a CC is not detected when the script is started, it will never be detected. We need a periodic rescan to update the list of chromecasts. Extra care should be taken to not lose track of the threads for each chromecast if necessary

Hi,

I am running castblock on my Raspberry Pi B which works nicely.

I noticed various issues such as high CPU usage that could be solved with a proper (non looping) re-implementation in a higher level programming language.

I have the skills to create such an implementation in PHP. However, I don't have muck skills in docker or linux tooling.

I was wondering if you would take a PR for such an implementation. If so, I will set aside some time to create one.

Hi, I was wondering if it was normal that it uses almost half the cpu of my machine. jq seems to be the culprit.

I have a Samsung Smart TV with Youtube app installed. I installed castblock on my raspberry pi through Docker following the guide on another issue posted here. However, when I cast something from the Youtube app on my android phone to the Youtube app on the Samsung Smart TV, I can still see ads, thus indicating that castblock might not work.

So I ask: is it supposed to work or castblock only works with a chromecast (which I don't own) inserted?

If it should work with the Youtube Samsung app as well, is there a way to check that castblock is running smoothly? When I start the docker container on the raspberry pi I do not get any errors.
