I've been using Invidious and NewPipe to watch YouTube for a long time. I don't use an account with either of these. However, I'm wanting to get recommendations based on what I watch and my subscriptions. LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works. When I try to watch videos it won't play. YouTube Vanced is dead. Not sure if another viable solution exists.

Vanced is dead, but ReVanced isn’t.

And SmartTubeNext for Android TV

Works so well on Android TV! +1 for this app, been using it for years and it still gets regular updates

Does that one work on LG tvs?

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

LG uses WebOS, not Android TV. Get an external Android TV system like an Nvidia Shield.

I use it myself, but somehow all the recommendations are just boring right now.

It mostly shows things that I've already watched, or things from months or even years ago.

Rarely new and trending stuff shows up.

Its just showing you youtube recommendations, I think

Yeah, I too think it's due to YTs API.
