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?

Just get a shield tv with smart tube and kodi and never look back.

My guess would be Google. When the first banner carousel came and users complained Nvidia told us they used the stock launcher, we should complain to Google, they don't care and we're free to use another launcher (still do ever since and they never tried to block that).

Does FLauncher have any downsides?

Finally got everything set up and playing full quality audio from everything, and don't want to break it all now.

At the beginning the launcher-manager acted a bit weird (started FLauncher on every home button press) but a reboot with power off did solve that. Now the launcher starts with boot and stays. Ever since I've never had issues. I use an external USB DAC to feed my vintage HiFi tho.

You gain a clean interface a Unsplash wallpaper selector and a nice screensaver (galaxy generator rocks) :)
