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'm terrified some day it'll stop working and I'll have to go back to regular YouTube!

I actually wonder sometimes how it's survived this long.

There are ... alternative methods. Fiddly, you have to roll your own, added frustration... but it could be done. Though I hope I never have to.

OTOH, it's a bit like hydra - cut one head off, three more appear. Until google fully locks down YouTube (and they might), there will always be wiggle room.

Honestly, I think they know that if they get too annoying, everyone will go elsewhere, so they are boiling the frog slowly. I'd bet Smarttube, Revanced, PipePipe etc are the Zion to YouTube's Matrix - allowed to exist as a pressure release valves.

So I've been involved with the repo a little (just some basic issue triage and documentation stuff) and all I can say is that Yuliskov has made that project his life's work. If anything happens to him, we're all screwed!
