ReVanced SponsorBlock: "No Valid UserID"

[mchangrh]

If you are getting the "No Valid UserID" error message on ReVanced follow these steps

1. If you don't have an existing Private UserID like in the browser extension, generate one here: https://mchangrh.github.io/sb-idgen/
2. !!! Back up your new or existing Private UserID !!!
3. Go into Revanced -> Settings -> SponsorBlock -> "Your private user id" and set your Private UserID there
4. If you still get the error, go to the SponsorBlock settings and click on "Import/Export settings". if "userID" is empty, then manually paste in your UserID so it resembles this

{
"categorySelections":[{"name":"sponsor","option":2}],
"userID":"YourSecretUserIDHere",
"isVip":false,
}

A configuration without a Private UserID will somewhat resemble

{
"categorySelections":[{"name":"sponsor","option":2}],
"userID":"",
"isVip":false,
}

BACK UP YOUR PRIVATE USERID!!!!

A full config is included below for reference - substitute ReplaceMe with your generated PrivateID

{"dontShowNotice":false,"barTypes":{"sponsor":{"color":"#00D400"},"intro":{"color":"#00FFFF"},"outro":{"color":"#0202ED"},"interaction":{"color":"#CC00FF"},"selfpromo":{"color":"#FFFF00"},"music_offtopic":{"color":"#FF9900"},"preview":{"color":"#008FD6"},"filler":{"color":"#7300FF"}},"showTimeWithSkips":true,"minDuration":0,"trackViewCount":true,"categorySelections":[{"name":"sponsor","option":1},{"name":"intro","option":1},{"name":"outro","option":1},{"name":"interaction","option":1},{"name":"selfpromo","option":1},{"name":"music_offtopic","option":1},{"name":"preview","option":1},{"name":"filler","option":1}],"userID":"ReplaceMe","isVip":false,"lastIsVipUpdate":1666850796486,"serverAddress":"https://sponsor.ajay.app/api/"}

This occurs due to a bug in ReVanced where it does not generate a userID automatically for you.
