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!
Google: developers should use Go.
Google: no not like that.Wow this is so cool
I might start using casting again on my Android tv
Thank you! I have to admit, it’s really satisfying seeing sponsored segments get skipped. Would definitely recommend!
You don’t happen to know of a general working adblock for casting e.g. Channel 4.
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.
Looks cool, doesn’t work with windows though? 😞
I haven’t tested on Windows yet, but releases have Windows downloads! Did you get an error when you ran it?
