Use SmartTubeNext on Android TV, the integration is incredibly better than NewPipe.


Thanks for the suggestion. Does it support subscriptions? I can't tell from the README...


Yes, it supports connecting with your (or multiple) YouTube account(s). That means it supports subscriptions, history, likes, etc. It just doesn’t handle comments in any way (which is a feature if you ask me :D)


Ah. One-time export or does it actually impersonate YouTube? Not having to use a YouTube account and log in is the best thing about NewPipe on the phone and FreeTube on the desktop IMO.


Nope it’s a full YouTube account integration. I actually prefer it because this way I can subscribe to new channels on the go from the official YouTube app, and it synchronizes directly with my Android Tv.

What’s wrong with using a YouTube account? Is it just the ca t that it’s a Google account (which I could understand)? Or is there something more?


Yeah, I'm de-googling my life as much as I can. "Only" Android left now...
