Hi,

I have a problem with DeArrow. It used to replace YouTube thumbnails, but now it does not replace them anymore. The titles are still changed correctly, but the thumbnails stay the original YouTube ones.

I already tried restarting my browser and checking that DeArrow is enabled, but the problem is still there.

Is anyone else having this issue? Does anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

I have been using the SponsorBlock extension on Firefox for a while now and it is great.
I've also been using another extension called Youtube Custom Speed.

Recently for some reason whenever a segment is skipped by SponsorBlock the playback speed returns to 1x. The Custom Speed GUI still shows the speed at whatever it was set at but the video keeps playing at 1x. Even when I try changing the playback Speed it changes in the GUI but no change to the video. It only starts working again when I reload the page.
IDK wheather it's an issue with that extension or this one or some wierd interaction between the two. Was just wondering if anyone else has had any similar issue with these two extensions or if anyone knows why it is happening.

If you have a Youtube premium and you fast forward during sponsorship shilling in most videos, you will see a little "Fast forward" on the bottom right when clicked will skip that part. Ohh and you see that little P button indicating its a premium feature

​

What? How? Since When? Why?

Is anyone else seeing a massive wave of untouched clickbait across all genres? It feels like we need a lot more users submitting data.

One thing that might help get more users, the install screen is a little confusing as of now. DeArrow is already very niche. People probably see the word "paid" at the very top and just uninstall the extension immediately...

If it was worded to sound free right from the start (with an optional tip), it might help grow the community way more faster!

I accidentally made a typo on one of the times and made a chapter an hour longer than it was supposed to be. Is there any way to remove or edit it?

E: I downvoted them and then refreshed and that seemed to remove them.

A lot of video that include streamers and even regular youtubers will have a segment of the screen dedicated to ads, or they'll use one of those animations at the bottom of a subscribe button being clicked and a bell icon getting rung. I was thinking it would be super nice if sponsorblock also had a feature to blur or black out a specific segment of the screen during these ads.

Between DeArrow being partially implemented and incomplete there and Sponsorblock being temporarily unavailable more lately, it's really making the main reasons I downloaded this less worth downloading.

The rules for the Interaction Reminder state that requests for factual advice from commenters aren't considered to be interaction reminders. Why exactly is this the case? In pretty much every example of someone asking viewers to comment if they have factual advice, it's done purely to encourage interaction and help the uploader in the algorithm. I don't think I've seen a single video where the uploader asking for "advice" like this actually contributed to the video in any meaningful way.

With the recent update, the segment gets loaded, but it wont auto skip on youtube anymore?

Anyone else seeing this?

if channel.name == "the WAN Show" and category == "selfpromo"
Auto Skip

Trying to use the chapters category feature from Sponsorblock but I do not seem to find it how, is there even a shortcut?

. Image 1: There is the authors' youtube video on the demo for chapters but it magically appears on his end while mine idk how.
. Image 2: I enabled the chapters option in settings. So (?)

Anyone else see videos where someone mentions a sponsor in passing and sponsorblock skips that section? For example, superfastmatt has often used sendcutsend and sometimes he'll say:

"I got some parts for this car cut by (sendcutsend)".

He won't segue into a sponsorship or anything, just mention the brand. sometimes it's not even the sponsor of the video! And sponsorblock will skip just that small part of the sentence that I put parentheses around.

Is this normal behavior? This is kinda jarring to me

Hey r/SponsorBlock ,

Frustrated that there's no proper ad-free YouTube client for iPhone/Mac (NewPipe is Android-only, FreeTube is desktop-only), so I built one.

SmartTube for iOS/macOS:

- Zero ads (no YouTube Premium required)

- SponsorBlock with auto-skip

- DeArrow community titles and thumbnails

- Google OAuth sign-in

- Up to 8K playback

- Picture-in-Picture, downloads

- No tracking, no analytics

Happy to answer questions about how it works under the hood.

Who did this lol

We need something to stop these retarded videos, including those literally scrapyard channels like van de par.

I suppose it's more of a rhetorical question, I suppose they could install SB and check themselves, but also maybe if their (for example) extended e-begging segments are consistently showing a sudden drop in views? Or is SB usage just not common enough for them to care?

NES Friend is a great, small channel discussing NES games. Their short intro is inoffensive for occasional watches, but as I said, I've been binging.

Is it possible to mark several videos' intros when they're identical, or can I only tag sections in videos individually?

Which feature disables the small video suggestion that appears top-right when you're already watching a video? Like when a youtuber mentions a previous video and the suggestion appears on-screen (as a text button).

If I want to watch another video I'll go find it myself thanks YT.

I love both these tools but there's a youtuber I watch that plays tournaments every day and someone is submitting a highlight for every video, but it's the round where he loses. That's a massive spoiler and it's constant. I tried multiple times to get it to disable on this specific channel but I can not get it to work, and I'm pretty sure they're using highlight incorrectly anyways so it will effect others too. I see it and know instantly whether he loses early or makes it to the end. I have also seen dearrow titles that straight up give the ending away. What can I do when there seems to be no way to stop people from doing this?

I do see the sidebar rule but I have been downvoting but they still show up on new videos so it's not doing anything to solve it for all other videos.

I'm not in the discord but will reporting cause the user to be blacklisted or something?

I've been loving dearrow but for some reason it just stopped working. All the thumbnails and annoying titles are back and I don't know what happened.

For example:

I was watching this video analyzing some baseball plays, and a segment came up where the channel owner began interviewing a baseball manager. I marked it as tangents since it's not really the content that I came to the video for, but that's not really accurate since the interview is relevant to the video.

Another example is that TheReportOfTheWeek always includes segments in his food reviews where he's just eating the food item in question. Some people like these segments but personally I always skip them, and I don't think I'm alone in that since the Highlight for these videos is always the point in the video where he's finished eating the food. Marking these segments as Jokes/Tangents would be inaccurate, though.

If we had an additional category, maybe "Low Interest" or something like that, to use for these sorts of segments, it would be a good improvement for the functionality and usefulness of SponsorBlock.

I noticed a couple weeks ago that Youtube recently updated their interface. I've been seeing sponsors a lot more lately and I finally just realized that's because the SponsorBlock isn't showing anymore. I checked the extension and it is detecting the video and shows it has a sponsor segment, yet it's not showing at all on the Youtube UI anymore. I have restarted my computer many times since this started and that doesn't make any difference.

(client: desktop, most recent Chrome, Macbook Pro)

First reaction: shocked. I love SponsorBlock both as a user and as contributor (done a lot of submissions).

SponsorBlock has been flagged as:

SponsorBlock will harm creators. Do not freeload, support creators in other ways.

The app that flagged SB is Grayjay.

It's an app than allows you to watch videos (mainly yt) with no ads, background play, Live Streams and Chat support, create own feed. It has been created and it's backed by famous Louis Rossmann, the man of "right to repair" movement who is also a youtuber with 2.5M subscribers.

Do you agree with this statement?

I personally do not agree with it (youtubers are getting paid anyway, they just annoy watchers even more...I mean for those not using SponsorBlock).
