    Can it so casting? My YT consumption isn’t as high as for many people it seems but when I’m not at a computer I’m very likely to find something on the phone and make the TV play it. Then I’m reminded how bad the ads are and avoid it again for a while

      It supports casting via the YouTube phone app (or YouTube ReVanced app).

        It isn’t available on my TV apparently. I guess I need to learn how to side load on the TV now

          From the SmartTube GitHub:

          install Downloader by AFTVnews on your Android TV, open it and enter kutt.it/stn_beta or kutt.it/stn_stable, then read, understand and confirm the security prompts. (You can also enter 79015 (for beta) or 28544 (for stable), but this requires an extra step to install the AFTVnews Downloader browser addon if you haven’t already.)

          The AFTVnews Downloader is available on both Google Play and Amazon Fire TVs. After installing SmartTube, it can self-update on its own without needing another app.

            Wow, thanks! I had actually figured that out myself, maybe should have mentioned it. First video went really well
