However, as Google makes changes to the YouTube platform, it's likely that some aspects will break as time goes on until, eventually, Google requires users to update to a newer version. The last versions of YouTube Vanced will continue to work for now since they're based on versions of the YouTube app from last year. Though if you have Vanced Manager already installed, you can download and install YouTube Vanced, Vanced Music, and Vanced microG. The team verified that it was legitimate, and had no choice but to pull down download links for Vanced.Īs it stands, you can no longer download Vanced Manager from the Vanced website. We reached out to one of the admins on the team's Discord server shortly after the news broke, and we were told that they were instructed to refrain from using YouTube's name and distributing packages that violate YouTube's Terms of Service. There are no real downsides to this.Addressing the elephant in the room, Vanced was taken offline by its developers after the team received a cease-and-desist order from Google. So I don’t really see a good reason to wait implementing Sponsorblock. Which is a shame but that’s the way I think this will play out.Īnd it’s not like there aren’t already many different well established ways to support your favorite creators. If history is any indication this project is more likely to fail than to succeed. I’d rather you guys put work into this, a proven feature that people want, rather than a fancy new tech that may or may not be the way to support podcasts in the future. No advertiser has a right to my attention. Sponsorblock would just make it more convenient. They don’t know which podcast player I use. They don’t even know if I actually listen or if I just downloaded the file. Nobody has data about which parts of the podcasts I listen to or skip. I don’t think anybody is going rogue and forking AntennaPod to put Sponsorblock in it. Could this prove an issue for SponsorBlock support? Could work in combination with the above: a pop-up that displays such wave of a period around the initially selected points, with a slider to do more precise location.ĭifferent point I know from previous issues in AntennaPod that storing the playback location of audio-files with variable bitrate can sometimes be problematic. Maybe we need to display audio waves like Audacity does, to support visual finding start/end points.0.5 speed), displays somehow the timeline zoomed in with a draggable pin to more precise tweaking. Maybe a ‘check start’ and a ‘check end’ button could help: after setting initial points, hitting either button will play the area t-10s until t+10s in slow-motion (e.g.I guess the preview button will be important. We need to find a way to find the right points.When playing, we should start skipping a bit later, and stop skipping a bit earlier. Audio-only start and end-points would be much more an approximation.Showing a still obviously is not going to work. The frame selection in video is very helpful in finding the start and end, but I’m wondering how this could be replicated with audio only. It does feel like AntennaPod would need a dedicated row for SponsorBlock in the player screen. Thanks for sharing that ! Very helpful to see how this could work. Here’s a video showing how Vanced (android app) made SponsorBlock submissions work on mobile: Maybe the author would be open to a cooperation in some form. Have you looked at the Sponsorblock repository? Wouldn’t it be possible to take the core functionality and port it to AntennaPod? Just to make things a little easier, I mean. So I really think this would be pretty huge. But one thing everybody can agree on is that ads suck. I could’ve told you! I think the amount of people that cast their podcasts to their speakers is probably not that big. I lost faith in single possible killer features ever since Different users, different needs… That’s what I thought of ChromeCast support when it got introduced. Nothing that’s that important to me though. Not as clean anymore but clean enough (to me) and very useful for quick access.Īn option to hide this encourages leeching. Or you could introduce a second row between the progress bar and the player controls with small icons where Speed, Sponsorblock and Sleep timer could live. They don’t need to be as big as the Skip Buttons. I think I’d try to scale both of those buttons down a bit. Left next to the playback speed button is still room. Where in the interface do you think it could be placed For more segment types a shield could still work but maybe something different would be good. Then I’d use a shield, like many AdBlockers do. That depends if you would go with the minimal approach and only do one type of segment (ads). Do you know of other apps that implement this?
