iSponsorBlockTV is a network-based video controller and smart TV ad blocker designed to automatically detect and skip sponsored segments and advertisements in YouTube videos. It operates as an automated system service that manages video playback state on connected television devices to remove promotional content.
The service integrates with the SponsorBlock database to identify specific segments for skipping. It utilizes network-layer traffic interception and HTTP-based proxying to monitor device state and modify playback instructions in real time.
The project includes workflows for TV device registration via automatic network discovery or pairing-code authentication. It supports deployment as a background system service for persistence across reboots and provides integration with standard package managers for installation.
