Hey! I love the post and the ASCII theme of your site. I just want to say, thanks for all of the work you did on sponsorblockcast. It was a great tool that I happily used for a long time.

Thank you!

I haven't tested on Windows yet, but releases have Windows downloads! Did you get an error when you ran it?

I love sponsorblockcast, but I had the same exact issue. In my case, sponsorblockcast usually uses 10% CPU, but would sometimes start using more and more. I've been testing CastSponsorSkip pretty thoroughly and haven't been able to get it to spike above 1-2% CPU yet!

Thank you! I have to admit, it's really satisfying seeing sponsored segments get skipped. Would definitely recommend!

Hi everyone! I've been using sponsorblockcast for a while (which is a great project), but I always wished it was written in Go. The go-chromecast library that it uses is written in Go, so a Go app could connect to all devices within a single process instead of creating child processes for every device. I finally decided to spend some time writing my own, called CastSponsorSkip. All of the features of sponsorblockcast are re-implemented in Go, plus some additional privacy features. I wrote a comparison if anybody is curious!

I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync. in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

That's just the default, and I assume it's mainly to make it easier for new users to start using Lemmy. It lets you change to any other instance during login.
