Youtube's frequency of ads has become so extreme that I've just yesterday opted to pay 11€/month for YT Premium. I had tried before disabling them with a Pihole or by blocking domains. It didn't work. Also, on a Samsung TV, you can't really install another front end.

I have a Sharp TV on my living room and the YT app crashes everytime a certain type of ad is played after the video starts. I don't know if its the video codec or if the TV is having a hard time going back to the original video. Out of nowhere a 5 second chocolate or cheese ad plays and the TV OS completely crashes. Tried attaching an ARM SBC with Librelec but the state of the Youtube apps are extremely broken in a w…

Would a Chromecast cover your use case?

Can your SBC run Android (or even better, LineageOS)? If so, you can install Kodi for Android and launch Youtube or Newpipe within Kodi.

It is a RockPro64. The stock image offered by Pine is borderline useless barebones without the store. Some complicated process involving connecting an usb-c cable and running ADB from Android SDK is necessary.

I also tried some Android distribution called Slash TV which seems to be kinda complete but the videos keep defaulting to 480p even after I set my preferences to high quality. It seems Slash TV is a one man's project and it hasn't received an upgrade in a while.

I was surprised how much of a nice product Librelec is but all the YT apps for Kodi (Youtube, Tubed) are in this broken state due to some API changes.

This is cable tv all over again. Pretty soon there will be ads on paid YouTube subscriptions too, mark my words.

There are: “now for a quick word about this week’s sponsor”

Looks like their patches repo is public - I wonder if that'll lead the the adblocking technique being patched out quickly by Google? Either way happy to see this app revived, even as a premium subscriber - it provides functionality that makes YouTube much nicer to use

Interestingly, it's not the patches repo which contains the actual patches, it's the _integrations_ repo: https://github.com/ReVancedTeam/revanced-integrations/blob/m...

Maybe but if the solution is throwing more money into hardware I'd rather get something like an Apple TV or Nvidia Shield.

You make it sound like either/or but Vanced was never just about getting rid of ads.

I pay for YouTube Premium but Vanced was still appealing because it removes other things I don't want, like posts in my home feed, Shorts, YouTube Originals and sponsored segments of videos.

Vanced is about giving the user what the user wants, instead of what YouTube wants the user to want.

you will use the features you're allowed to use and nothing more... you will buy into the walled garden and lose your account for mis-behaving... you will work 9-5 and do overtime over the holidays...
