SponsorBlock

3rd-Party Ports: MPV | Kodi | Chromecast | iOS

SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe. It also supports Invidio.us. **Translate:** [![Crowdin](https://badges.crowdin.net/sponsorblock/localized.svg)](https://crowdin.com/project/sponsorblock) # Important Links See the [Wiki](https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki) for important links. # Server The backend server code is available here: https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlockServer To make sure that this project doesn't die, I have made the database publicly downloadable at https://sponsor.ajay.app/database ([License](https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/Database-and-API-License)). If you are planning on using the database in another project, please read the [API Docs](https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php/API_Docs) page for more information. The dataset and API are now being used in some [ports](https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/3rd-Party-Ports) as well as a [neural network](https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock). # API You can read the API docs [here](https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php/API_Docs). # Building You must have Node.js 16 installed. Rename `config.json.example` to `config.json` and adjust configuration as desired. There are also other build scripts available. Install `npm`, then run `npm install` in the repository to install dependencies. Run `npm run build` to generate a Chrome extension. Use `npm run build:firefox` to generate a Firefox extension. The result is in `dist`. This can be loaded as an unpacked extension ## Developing with a clean profile Run `npm run dev` to run the extension using a clean browser profile with hot reloading. Use `npm run dev:firefox` for Firefox. This uses [`web-ext run`](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/web-ext-command-reference/#commands). Known chromium bug: Extension is not loaded properly on first start. Visit `chrome://extensions/` and reload the extension. For Firefox for Android, use `npm run dev:firefox-android -- --adb-device `. See the [Firefox documentation](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/developing-extensions-for-firefox-for-android/#debug-your-extension) for more information. ### Attribution Generation If you contribute and add a dependency, update the attribution file using the following steps: Make sure the attribution generator is installed: `npm i -g oss-attribution-generator` ```bash generate-attribution mv ./oss-attribution/attribution.txt ./public/oss-attribution/attribution.txt ``` # Credit The awesome [Invidious API](https://docs.invidious.io/API.md) was previously used, and the server is now using [NewLeaf](https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/NewLeaf) as a to get video info from YouTube. Originally forked from [YTSponsorSkip](https://github.com/NDevTK/YTSponsorSkip), but very little code remains.
