Addon tries to run when any media is played, even local files, and throws an error

[dziban303]

I was surprised to see that, when playing local content, the SponsorBlock addon attempts to run. This obviously fails, and an error is thrown, which is displayed full-screen by the Log Viewer addon.

It seems strange that the SponsorBlock addon would attempt to run when any content is played. It should be possible—should it not?—to only initiate the addon when the media is a Youtube video.

Unfortunately, there are other add-ons that can play youtube videos.
The add-on does handle the main YouTube add on explicitly, but it tries to accommodate other add-ons by looking for a YouTube thumbnail url.

What you encountered here is definitely a bug though. It should run for every video, but it shouldn't crash.

If you can, please attach the full error so I can fix the error.

Sure. Since there may be other stuff in the log which is germane, here's the entire process of playing a local video file for a few seconds.
