I have two chromecast models. The newer one is the "Chromecast with Google TV (HD)" and the older one is a Chromecast (2nd generation). On the older one castblock is working perfectly. Skipping sponsor segments, skipping ads, muting ads, etc all work. See logs below

But for the newer chromcast cast block is not working at all. See logs below:

For some reason it looks like it's not able to get the videoIDs which is causing the GET request to return 400. According to the sponserblock FAQ 400 means the inputs are wrong: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/FAQ#Why_am_I_getting_an_error_when_trying_to_submit_a_segment?

Installed it with docker pull erdnaxeli/castblock:latest
This is my docker compose file

version: '3.3'
services:
  castblock:
    network_mode: host
    image: erdnaxeli/castblock
    environment:
      - CATEGORIES=sponsor,selfpromo
      - MUTE_ADS=true
      - DEBUG=true
      - OFFSET=2
      - SKIP_ADS=true
      - SPONPSORBLOCK_SERVER=https://sponpsor.ajay.app

Any idea why some chromecasts work and others don't or how to fix?
