Oh nice! I'll have to look into that! Thanks! It's not glacially slow, is it? That's one of the reasons I never use the apps of my so-called smart TV.
My smarttube is glacially slow, but it's the TV hardware that can't keep pace, I assure you.
I've also noticed when the stream is cut by YT, smarttube will almost always manage to get it back, very rarely do I have to actively pick up the remote to fix it.
When my TV plays nice, it's a perfect YT replacement, and I highly recommend it.
Thanks, I'll definitely look into it.
I wish you a pleasant, ad/sponsor-free viewing experience sir.
As the other commenter said it's about the hardware really. I tested it out on a really old device first to make sure it actually worked - it did but at a glacially slow pace. The new box is pretty snappy though!
