streamlink VS SponsorBlock

It doesn't look like Streamlink is immune to the challenges of Twitch ads: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949

i can't quite tell what you're asking for but check out https://streamlink.github.io/

Take a look at this: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/

Streamlink != Steam Link

alternatively, you can use streamlink to stream the video and let it open vlc for you.

A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink. For that purpose I use wtwitch, a terminal program which allows me to maintain a list of my favourite channels without a Twitch account, check which of those streamers are currently online and run a command to open their streams via streamlink.

Streamlink has very detailed and newbie friendly documentation. Here's the plugin you'd need to scrape Kick links.

I believe yt-dlp works and merges everything already for you. I use streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink for most of twitch stuff and all you have to do is pass in the vod url

Next you will need streamlink, again in the same powershell instance type.

just use sponsorblock today, works fine on all my devices. https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock

from mobile phone to tv to pc.

You are one of today's 10,000.

And if you have android:

The SponsorBlock [0] addon has already solved that for sponsored/ad segments in videos. Rather than AI, crowdsourced timestamps lets it automatically skip past adverts.

For integrated ads on YouTube (sponsor messages), you can use the SponsorBlock extension (https://sponsor.ajay.app/). If you're using Android, you can also get NewPipe with SponsorBlock integration.
