Youtube recently emailed me to say that they are cancelling the Youtube Premium Lite plan ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37649777 ) that I've been on for 3 years. This looks interesting.

This is to skip in-video sponsorships/ads (based on community tagging them as such), not YouTube ads.

Do I need to setup anything on the TV or does this just work?
What mechanism does it use to block the ads?
I had a peek and it looks like it's the youtube lounge API. Basically this is casting with some bonus features. If you are playing on a Screen (a tv or console) then Remotes (usually your phone) can automatically notice it and automatically show what is playing, let you use controls, add stuff to the playlist etc. This program registers a remote and automatically skips forward when a sponsorblock segment is present.
"You've saved people from 1,927 segments ( 16h 56.3 minutes of their lives )
You've skipped 5,500 segments ( 1d 9h 19.3 minutes )"
Absolutely ridiculous how much filler youtube is filled with to hit the 10 minute marks! I hope they never go down, it's a great free service.
On mobile phones we use vanced, on my nvidia shields we use smarttubenext. Both integrate with sponsorblock automatically.
love this, now to find a guide how to set it up on my synology
