i think my situation is quite niche - i host a lot of social gatherings for friends at my place and most of the time we like to play music videos on the TV either in the background or actively sharing our music tastes with each other adblocking YT on a TV is a PITA. i'd rather have it just work, to not interrupt the vibes

Pretty easy if you just hook a laptop to the TV. Honestly way nicer ux queueing up videos with an actual keyboard vs tapping out single characters at a time with a remote.

  Just do as the other commenter pointed out and install an alternate youtube frontend on your TV. I'd recommend https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube. Then you'll never see another ad again (including those sneaky ones that are embedded in the videos). And you can use the youtube app on your phone to search for videos and prepare playlists.

If you have an android smart tv, you can install TizenTube. Takes a couple of hours to figure out the installation (poorly documented), but works flawlessly after that. https://github.com/reisxd/TizenTube https://github.com/reisxd/TizenTube

  What you linked is for Tizen (Samsung) TVs, not for Android.
