I am a big fan of isponsorblocktv which sits on a network device like a nas and skips YouTube sponsor segments on Apple TV.

Whoa, this looks awesome and I do have always on server for Usenet/Plex and Homebridge.

Thanks!

[edit] Installed and working great but I had to change os.exit() to sys.exit() in one of the files, looks like it's not compatible with recent Python versions out of the box. Converted into system.d daemon, now working 24/7.

Oh that’s sick, only reason why I won’t get an Apple TV. You still need a subscription to get rid of YouTube ads, yeah?

[–] Princeofspace@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I am one of those who pays for premium. I primarily watch on my tv and probably watch more youtube than anything else. Also still on the old $10 plan but we will see how long that lasts.

You can use a secondary google account, sign up for premium family plan using a vpn to Turkey and pay like $10 per year, while adding your main google account as a family member to save a bundle of cash. I haven’t bothered since I’m happy with STN on android tv, but knowing that there’s a working sponsorblock solution for appletv now I might have to make the switch lol
