Recommendations to watch Youtube on TV (lemmy.ml)

I have a headless raspberry PI 4 8GB connected to my TV setup with Kodi and the Jellyfin add-on. Now I would like to have a convenient option to watch Youtube in a privacy-friendly way on the TV.

The experience should be similar to Freetube: creating playlists, search videos, follow subscribed channels. I don't mind running it either directly on the PI or install it on my server.

Thanks for any recommendations of what you folks use!

I have an LG with WebOS which is also not connected to the internet. So that's unfortunately not an option.

Buy a $20 Android TV box from Walmart and install Smarttube on it.

He wants privacy from YouTube, pretty sure that he doesn't want Walmart to steal his data either

There is an ATV LineageOS image available for the 2021 Onn for anyone who wants to go that route https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dopinder/

Walmart doesn't make the box so more like Google or China.

Nobody makes their own boxes, everything you love to play with either gets designed, fabricated, or packaged in to boards, or assembled, in China.

So tired of the casual racism of "this brand good, but that brand bad, because China." I know you didn't mean something malicious by it, but we've got to do better.

I also have an LG TV. I bought an external Android TV box (Nvidia Shield) and now primarily use that as the interface.
