Bypass Sponsorblock Check?

[brad-00]

Is there a way to force it to skip/bypass sponosrblock check? Ran into several issues when sponsorblock servers are down and majority of files have no sponsor block info available anyways.

Hi @brad-00 you should be able to pass -s True for it to skip Sponsorblock. Give it a try and let us know if that works

thanks

Alright maybe I am too tired here but I have:

spotify_dl -l URLTOSPOTIFY -o "DIRECTORY" -s True

and keep getting

spotify_dl: error: unrecognized arguments: True

I see in the main py where it specifies this option but not sure what is going on.

parser.add_argument('-s', '--skip_non_music_sections', default=False, action='store_true', help='Whether to skip non-music sections using SponsorBlock API.')

Does just using -s without anything after that work?

[brad-00]

Hmm, no that does not seem to do anything either. Still see the:

[SponsorBlock] Fetching SponsorBlock segments

I even went in to my installed directory for Spotify_dl and modified the spotify_dl.py default to True for -s and still polled SponsorBlock. Though I am not sure that would have worked in the first place, just guessing here.

'parser.add_argument('-s', '--skip_non_music_sections', default=True, action='store_true', help='Whether to skip non-music sections using SponsorBlock API.')

Sponsorblock is disabled by default as of 8.5.0 and can be enabled by passing -s y or -s yes.
