[FEATURE REQUEST] Option to skip sponsorblock processing if download fails #321

Closed NikunjKhangwal closed 12 months ago

Is your feature request available in yt-dlp? Please describe. Can't tell

Sponsorblock servers stay down a lot and downloading fails during processing if that's the case. It sucks when you have to download multiple GB's of files again in this scenerio.

Describe the solution you'd like A notification/button to process the video without sponsorblock if the error occurs. Getting the output without SB is still much better than entire operation failing.

Describe alternatives you've considered Maybe if there's a way to tell or verify if SB is working fine before the download starts?

Additional context

Sponsorblock is integrated with yt-dlp so the only way to know is to fire yt-dlp up. That is expensive. What you could do is add a preferred extra command with the following

--no-abort-on-error --ignore-errors

I think these will try to continue downloading even if sponsorblock fails. Havent tested it but it might work.

This will skip any error not just SB related it seems. But something is better than nothing i guess. Thanks for the suggestion.
