SponSkrub

Project archived

yt-dlp now has native integration with SponsorBlock and so we will no longer be maintaining this project. If you still want to use SponSkrub either seperately, or with yt-dlp, use the upstream version instead

SponSkrub

This is a fork of sponskrub primarily intended for use with yt-dlp

Main Changes

• Provide windows binary (only x86 for now)
• All sections are included by default and all switches are changed to --exclude-
• Removed youtube-dl-sponskrub since yt-dlp has direct sponskrub integraion

PS: I am not familar enough in DLang to add features or resolve issues (unless the issue is specific to this fork). It is probably better to make the request in faissaloo/sponskrub. I will merge any commits made there into this fork.

Description

SponSkrub is a command line utility for removing sponsors from downloaded Youtube videos.

FFmpeg and FFprobe are required for this application to work. Additionally, libcurl.dll is necessary for windows. A copy of libcurl x86 is provided along with the releases.

It makes use of the SponsorBlock API and I'd recommend installing the extension and maybe contributing some sponsorship times when you're ever bored.

You can build sponskrub by running dub build.
