This is what i did when i got the "we are going to start blocking playback ...." Message and it worked great. Moral of the story is track content creators you like with rss and you dont need to be logged in.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoI was planning to code this with yt-dlp, to just download the videos and never open the webside again.... I just have to figure out how to implement sponsor-block, to remove the "this video is sponsored by shadow raid vpn" messages... probably can be done with ffmpeg :)
- mainpassathome 3y agoeither use and nvidous instance that had sponsorblock(?) or use mpv with the sponsorblock script in your program
- garblegarble 3y agoGood news! yt-dlp already has sponsorblock built-in :-) Have a look in the --help text output for the "sponsorblock-remove" arg.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoJust saw the other comment! Thank you!
- Nullabillity 3y agoyt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove default
- ajsnigrutin 3y agowow... thank you!
- paulmd 3y agojust fyi, but this already exists via platforms like invidious, which is like a self-hosted youtube proxy that you interact with, and it dumps files to disk/etc. there are some other similar things already too. not that you shouldn't use yt-dlp, because it's great! and yes, as others mention - you can have yt-dlp use sponsorblock to cut out the ad sections too.
- vikramkr 3y agoAt the point where you're removing sponsor messages within a downloaded copy - of hope you're also sponsoring on patron or buying merch or something. There's a point where there needs to be some sort of revenue source to incentivize further content creation
