- grudg3 3y agoAgree, but unfortunately I still can't use it to stream to my Chromecast so I need to go to the YouTube app when I want to play stuff on TV
- Zambyte 3y agoCan't you just display your screen using chromecast? I use newpipe on my tv all the time by juat plugging my phone in via HDMI.
- m4rtink 3y agoSmartTube supports Chromecast/Android TV: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
- actf 3y agoTo be clear, it doesn't support casting, which is what the previous commenter was asking for. It runs directly on android tv. The app even says that there is no support for phones or tablets so casting isn't going to work. I also agree that casting is the major missing feature from all these apps. Mirroring might be a substitute for some but, again to be clear, it isn't the same as casting and in most cases the quality is going to suffer significantly.
- m4rtink 3y agoSure, but I think thats still a viable workaround - especially as SmartTube plays the video natively on the device with maximum available quality. Sure, if you have the video link in your phone, you might need to get it to the TV/Chromecast somehow, but I think that is usually manageable.
- endorphine 3y agoI'm watching fine on Firefox with uBlock Origin. I mean, I don't get ads. What else am I missing by not using NewPipe (I don't care about downloading videos).

- ceuk 3y agoFYI Google takeout lets you set regular, automatic exports of any of your Google data (e.g. you can have a backup of your YouTube subscriptions, playlists etc emailed to you every month).
- ParetoOptimal 3y ago> you can have a backup of your YouTube subscriptions, playlists etc emailed to you every month Sent to your gmail account? :D
- ceuk 3y agoAny email address you choose AFAIK
- extraduder_ire 3y agoIIRC, newpipe can even load the file from takeout and add all of your subscriptions from it.
- mxmbrb 3y agoOne can't switch to a different tab, out of the browser or lock the phone while continuing listening to the video/podcast/music.
- winwang 3y agoIt's extremely simple: I pay for Premium.
- yard2010 3y agoHow can you disable tiktok on youtube? I've been a paying customer for years and I would happily pay more to remove this cancer.
- docmars 3y agoDo you mean their Shorts feature?
- mejthemage 3y agoBig +1. I feel I can keep my kids YouTube usage under control and effectively moderate what they watch. With shorts I can't scroll through the 100 shorts they quickly swiped through, have no idea which ones they actually watched, and I frequently see a lot of inappropriate content in shorts that I don't normally see on their accounts. Shorts actually makes me want to ban YT in my house altogether and cancel my premium sub
