Advice on blocking Youtube ads. (lemm.ee)

Hello scurvy dogs

Im looking for some advice on how I should go about continuing to watch youtube while blocking / bypassing ads on my LG TV.

I recently ended my premium subscription because of price hikes and such but webOS on LG TVs is very restrictive with its apps.

Ive started to use LibreTube on my devices which is awsome but ive only got a couple of options that might work on the telly:

1- I host a local Jellyfin server for all our other content needs so maybe i can integrate youtube into this somehow.

2- Ive got a spare Pi 3b laying around that I could use as something and just HDMI to the TV which im fine with.

Currently I think that maybe running android on the Pi and then using LibreTube on that is my best option.

So my question is, what do you guys use / what are your setups to watch youtube ad free on ya TV?

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it's great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn't come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

Youre the second person to suggest that so im leaning towards that route. Should be able to get AndroidTV working on the Pi.

SmartTube is great, I have it on my FireTV. I can cast playlists to it from YT Revanced on my tablet and it carries over all the SponsorBlock skips as well. Don’t even need to be signed in to SmartTube for it to work.

I use smart tube on my chromecast and Grayjay in the phone. Both work great and Grayjay can cast.

That's a really good suggestion. I just tried it on my Xiaomi TV Box S and it works great.
