Doesn't appear to work on Onn TV bare metal

[cgriffith99]

I'm testing on an Onn Android TV device and it doesn't seem to be working, but I'm not quite sure if I have everything set up correctly.

I am running your app on my PC, have linked with a code (your app shows a device screen id for the Android TV device) and have gotten a YouTube Data API v3 key to associate. Is this correct? I couldn't find any step by steps for making sure I config this correctly

I tried a SponsorBlock video id that is in their database and it is still playing sponsored ads at the beginning, etc.

Same for me with a Nvidia Shield.

Can see this in logs : Connected to device YouTube on TV Playing h_uCO7FoZd8 with 0 segments Getting segments for next video: F_e7a3rP0Pk Playing h_uCO7FoZd8 with 0 segments Playing h_uCO7FoZd8 with 0 segments Getting segments for next video: h_uCO7FoZd8 Getting segments for next video: h_uCO7FoZd8 Playing h_uCO7FoZd8 with 0 segments Playing h_uCO7FoZd8 with 0 segments Getting segments for next video: F_e7a3rP0Pk Connected to device YouTube on TV

@jt3dst it seems to be working fine for you. As the logs say, you’re playing a video with 0 segments on the SponsorBlock database, so there’s nothing to skip. If you were expecting to skip YouTube ads, make sure that option is enabled on your config

@cgriffith99 if it shows a device then it should be working. Do you mind sending logs of the container that show some device activity?

There is my config :

{ "data_dir": "data", "devices": [ { "screen_id": "xxxxxxovod66gqm2puomfn2r", "name": "YouTube on TV" } ], "apikey": "", "skip_categories": [ "sponsor", "selfpromo" ], "channel_whitelist": [], "skip_count_tracking": true, "mute_ads": false, "skip_ads": true }

But at the begining of videos i still have Ads

[dmunozv04]

@jt3dst unfortunately, only ads that show a skip button can be skipped, so it looks like it’s working as intended. While not ideal, in my opinion muting ads is better than hearing them

Ok thank's

I'm wondering if that's the problem or not; I am not running in a container, I am running the bare python program on my PC.

I may be missing something, but I do not see any console or file logs being generated anywhere.

It should work fine in bare python too. Just make sure that the shell running iSponsorBlockTV stays open (python main.pyshould be running ). You can make a systemd service to do this, or run it on a screen. An automatic service installer would be a nice option for the future

no issues for me, skipped a sponsored segment and connected right away. great work.
