SponserBlock Support

What Problem Does This Solve?

Adds Sponserblock to Tubed

---

Suggest a Solution (optional)

I understand this will have to be after this app gets working again without api, however there is code for this for the regular Kodi Youtube app. There is a request there to add tubed support but its been there for a year. Just wondering if you could either add Sponserblock as a setting into this Kodi app or help support progress on their project for support.

The script.service.sponsorblock addon now supports multiple apps, though a PR is still needed for Tubed. It would be easiest to add it in the script instead of this plugin directly.

As the one that added support for plugin.video.invidious, here is a good starting point to get Tubed support.

Create resources/lib/apis/tubed_api.py, and define a new AbstractApi implementation named TubedApi.

A minimal implementation could look like this:

from six.moves.urllib import parse as urlparse

from .abstract_api import AbstractApi
from .models import NotificationPayload

from ..utils.xbmc import get_playing_file_path


class TubedApi(AbstractApi):

    def parse_notification_payload(self, data):  # type: (str) -> NotificationPayload | None
        return None

    def get_video_id(self):  # type: () -> str | None
        try:
            path_url = urlparse.urlsplit(get_playing_file_path())
            query = urlparse.parse_qs(path_url.query)
        except Exception:
            return None

        valid_url = (
            path_url.scheme == "plugin"
            and path_url.path.startswith("/")
        )

        return query.get("video_id")[0] if valid_url else None

    def should_preload_segments(self, method, data): # type: (str, NotificationPayload) -> bool
        return False

Reference:

plugin.video.tubed/resources/lib/src/generators/video.py

Line 325 in 65455a6

'PlayMedia(plugin://%s/?mode=%s&video_id=%s)' %

In resources/lib/apis/api_factory.py, update API_MAP to include a mapping of the Kodi addon ID to the respective AbstractAPI implementation:

from .invidious_api import InvidiousApi
from .youtube_api import YouTubeApi
from .tubed_api import TubedApi

# …

API_MAP = {
    "plugin.video.youtube": YouTubeApi,
    "plugin.video.invidious": InvidiousApi,
    "plugin.video.tubed": TubedApi
}

Finally, in addon.xml, update the context-menu extension point to also show on the plugin.video.tubed app. This will show the button to configure Kodi SponsorBlock settings on the app.

<visible>String.IsEqual(ListItem.Property(Addon.ID),plugin.video.youtube) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.Property(Addon.ID),plugin.video.invidious) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.Property(Addon.ID),plugin.video.tubed)</visible>

I have not tested the code above, and it would be missing some features like preloading segments. However, 90% of the functionality, including skipping sponsor segments, should work.

If a Tubed user could test this implementation, feel free to do a PR. 👍
