What I want is a YouTube viewer that cuts out ads that I can use on my Mac or my iPhone to use on my TV with a Chromecast.
Chromecast is how I view all my TV content.
You'll have to take that up with Apple. They're the ones dictating that you can't use any of the wonderful apps we have on Android.
As for Chromecast, SmartTube Next is what you want
Check out https://ghcr.io/nichobi/sponsorblockcast - run it on your LAN, and it’ll use SponsorBlock to clean up any YouTube-Chromecast stream you want.
Thanks!
And of course the thing I mentioned has now been superseded by https://github.com/gabe565/CastSponsorSkip
I might have to look into that. I do wonder how it could know when a segment is sponsored.
I don't care that much about the ads since we already have Premium so we don't see the ads anyways.
Premium doesn't skip the ads in the videos
That's what 2X speed is for.
Well this is a passive function.
Thanks for the heads up
