# SponsorExplorer
A modern rewrite of Lanrza's [SBBrowser][sbb] with more features and a more fancy and intuitive UI for
browsing [SponsorBlock][sb] segments and chapters!

## Feature Roadmap
- ✅ Display submitted segments
- ✅ View submitted from username/UUID via [sb.ltn.fi][sbb-prod]
- 🚧 Play and filter segments
- 🚧 Realtime changes for segments for one or more videos
- 🚧 Watchlist for YT videos, playlist, as well as usernames/userIDs
- 🚧 In-depth stats about submitted segments in videos, channels, and from usernames/userIDs
- ✅ Browse segments on YouTube channels
- 🚧 **[NEW!]** Timeline view of all submitted segments, including downvoted and shadowhidden
segments except hidden segments from duration change
## Inspiration
While I was in the middle of writing a userscript for [sb.ltn.fi][sbb-prod] to append titles and thumbnails using the YouTube API, along with other enhancements, I had this idea to remake SBbrowser but with an approach to a modern redesign and all the different features such as segment playback, a watchlist, etc.
### Differences
| | SBbrowser | SponsorExplorer |
| :----------------------- | :----------------------- | :------------------------------------------------ |
| Filter and sort segments | ✅ | Has added functionality to filter locked segments |
| Playback videos | Directly uses `` | Mounts `` client-side |
If the SponsorBlock API returns a `5xx` response, it automatically falls back and crawls [sb.ltn.fi][sbb-prod] for cached data via [SBbrowser-API-Wrapper](https://github.com/kuroji-fusky/SBbrowser-API-Wrapper).
### Caveats with the YouTube player
The YouTube embed player has a feature on when, if copyrighted content is present, the player will return a vague "Video unavailable" error and block playback.[^1] This issue isn't present when mounting the player client-side via `new YT.Player` since it adds necessary headers that will allow playback of copyrighted content; except when the video is either private, taken down, age-restricted, members only, or when the uploader chooses to forbid their content from being embedded from other websites.[^2]
