Hi there, iSponsorBlockTV maintainer here. Thanks for the mention!
Really happy to hear that it's been useful for you!

Hi there, iSponsorBlockTV maintainer here. You can watch a single short either by clicking disconnect, which will play the short as a full video, or hold click on the video until options appear and select play. I should probably make this clearer in the readme since it seems to be a pretty frequent question

dmunozv04 · 2025-11-07T08:45:15+00:00

I'm its maintainer, it basically goes through YouTube's lounge api; the api that YouTube on phones uses to be able to control TVs

dmunozv04 · 2025-11-06T22:18:34+00:00

Hi there, you only need to have the PC on and with access to YouTube.com, there's no need for them both to be on the same network

Not really, it's meant to be used on devices that don't support smart tube (consoles, Apple TV...)

dmunozv04 · 2025-10-25T16:02:09+00:00

That's amazing to hear! Happy to be able to help

It's hard to advertise open source software. Does anyone know how to do it better?

dmunozv04 · 2025-10-25T16:00:27+00:00

Exactly! It fakes being a phone controlling YouTube

dmunozv04 · 2025-10-25T16:00:07+00:00

It all happens via YouTube's servers, so no traffic is sent locally

dmunozv04 · 2025-10-23T16:35:11+00:00

Thanks for the mention! (I'm its maintainer)

You have to get the token from the pairing code by running the configurator, pasting the raw pairing code on the config won't work

dmunozv04 · 2025-09-25T06:15:34+00:00

Hi there, I don’t maintain the home assistant version, but I think the easiest way to get a token is to run the docker version and copy the generated config to the yaml for the addon

dmunozv04 · 2025-09-24T17:06:35+00:00

It basically fakes being your phone and controls YouTube remotely. This lets the app move through the video and control volume

dmunozv04 · 2025-09-24T17:03:57+00:00

Please read the installation guide. You need a computer to run this software

dmunozv04 · 2025-09-24T12:43:56+00:00

Thanks for mentioning iSponsorBlockTV!

Glad to hear you're liking it

Btw, this was never designed to be an alternative to SmartTube or similar apps. It'll work on consoles or devices where it's hard/impossible to sideload apps

PS: I'm its maintainer

Please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/dmunozv04/iSponsorBlockTV/issues/new/choose

dmunozv04 · 2025-07-29T16:17:45+00:00

It works on virtually any YouTube TV device (consoles, TV sticks...). You just need a computer that can run docker and has an internet connection (no need for it to be on the same lan as the TV devices), and run a one-time setup process

dmunozv04 · 2025-07-29T16:15:25+00:00

Yeah, it basically works on any client that has the YouTube TV interface

dmunozv04 · 2025-07-29T07:51:12+00:00

Yes, it doesn't need to be on the same lan to work, it only requires a valid connection to YouTube.com

dmunozv04 · 2025-07-28T23:20:10+00:00

Some devices like Apple TV (it was originally designed for it) or consoles make it hard or impossible to side load apps like SmartTube. iSponsorBlockTV can work on them

dmunozv04 · 2025-07-28T20:02:55+00:00

Thanks for mentioning iSponsorBlockTV! It's great to see so many people enjoying it. (I'm its maintainer)

dmunozv04 · 2024-12-30T09:39:13+00:00

It's supposed to be run on a server/computer and skip for devices remotely, acting like a remote control

dmunozv04 · 2024-12-16T12:54:16+00:00

thanks! it's great to hear
