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!

Yes, there is a YouTube addon for Kodi. I came here to recommend.

It's not perfect for sure. There are some things that are annoying or difficult. I get the feeling that the developer is constantly playing cat and mouse with YouTube. But overall it blocks ads and plays my videos so I use it every day. I'm watching right now...

on my side, videos are crashing after around 90 seconds since a week or so...
