## What it is
A self-hosted Python application that connects to YouTube TV apps on smart TVs and streaming devices and automatically skips sponsor segments via the SponsorBlock API. It also auto-mutes ads and presses the Skip Ad button on supported devices.

## Use cases
- skip sponsor segments on youtube tv app
- automatically skip ads on apple tv youtube
- block sponsors on samsung tv youtube app
- auto mute youtube ads on chromecast
- self-hosted sponsorblock for roku and fire tv
- skip intros and self-promotion on android tv youtube

## When to choose
- you watch YouTube through a TV app on Apple TV, Samsung, LG, Roku, Chromecast, Fire TV, or game consoles and want sponsor segments skipped automatically
- you want a self-hosted SponsorBlock integration that runs on any computer with internet access, not necessarily on the same network as the TV
- you want ads auto-muted and the Skip Ad button pressed automatically

## When to avoid
- you only watch YouTube in a desktop or mobile browser, where standard SponsorBlock extensions work better
- you primarily watch YouTube Shorts, which are not fully supported
- you cannot run a separate always-on process or Docker container on your network
