5 minute ad breaks every 15 minutes kinda ruin the experience.
I think this would make a good -arr application.
Ingest podcast feeds, crowdsource hashes of whole and partial sections of the downloaded audio, which should be a good start to auto-tag dynamically inserted ads.
For non-dynamic ads, provide an interface to manually identify their start/end, and publish for others. The same interface could be used to add chapters and other metadata.
Then you’d just point your podcast app to an RSS feed you self host.
I propose Listenarr, unless this has already been taken.
If the podcast is available on YouTube, Newpipe does the job brilliantly and you even have forks/options to skip sponsor ads too.
Podcasts are a leftover from the non centralized and non-monetized internet of the past. Because is that most Podcasts are still available as rss feeds, so you should only ever get adds if they are spoken by the Podcasts hosts. Ate you taking about those? Only something like sponsorblock would help against those. I use antennapod (fdroid) on android to listen to Podcasts. Sine hosts always start their podcast with an add, but you can autoskip the first minute of a certain podcast with antennapod every time. It has a setting for that. Antenna pod itself is foss software without adds.
God, I wish there was. If there is, I haven’t found it. And I’ve been looking
But how do you learn about raycons? Seriously, there are some podcasters that i really like. The podcast and the people behind it. But it’s getting really hard to not dislike someone that’s willingly trying to sell you garbage. Like your best friend from high school that is trying to pull you in his pyramid scheme. I used to listen to the marc maron podcast, because he’s pretty good at talking to people and he had some cool guests. His sponsors were that stamp company and some website company. Now marcs whole thing is that he’s a boomer that doesn’t like new things. One day he did his show and then it was time for a commercial and he was like: and today’s sponsor is ROCKET LEAGUE. ROCKET LEAGUE is a fun and exciting… What in the fuck. Thins isn’t just a scam, you have not the slightest idea what you are advertising for.
During the early couple years of MBMBAM, I didn’t mind their ad reads. They made it funny. I never skipped Cumtown’s ad reads because they read them so shitty it was extremely funny.
Every other podcast I detest the reads.
Fuck you Shopify, your loud grating DING makes me flinch every time it blasts in my ears. I hate you.
Watch them using the grayjay app, sponsorblock should be in it.
Only on YouTube but it’s crowdsourced. SponsorBlock for ReVanced is the only way to watch for me.
This is desperately needed.
I saw sponsorblock-ml and am playing with it using whisperx for transcript/timestamps and ffmpeg for cutting out the timestamps that were detected by sponsorblock-ml then reserving that audio as an rss feed.
It’s not great so far though
Does this happen on iOS too? I listen to podcasts every night for an hour and never hear any ads except for the ones encoded with the file, ie sponsor ads.
i use YouTube Music Revanced and I’ve never gotten any ads for my podcasts
I think OP is talking about integrated ads edited into the podcast, not the ones YouTube or other apps serve to pay for hosting the content
