What This Project Does
This is a small tool running on your home computer or server, designed to control YouTube apps on your TV and automatically skip ads, intros, and sponsor segments.
What Problems It Solves

3. Auto-mute or skip official YouTube ads while casting to TV.
Key Strengths & Highlights
Directly controls native TV apps for a more native feel than casting; supports almost all major TV systems.
Getting Started Requirements
Requires deploying a service (Docker supported), computer needs internet, setup has a learning curve for beginners but docs are complete.
Purpose
Suitable for users with NAS or always-on PCs who hate TV ads. Not suitable if you prefer not to setup servers or only watch on mobile.
