I’ve been using invidious for a few years. I recently changed up my morning routine and have been eating breakfast watching YouTube via the TV app versus on my PC.

It made me realize I kind of miss the recommended videos in some circumstances like when I just wanna veg out.

Are there any current viable yt front ends that either maintain the algorithm or utilize their own to find you new content?

I've installed smarttube this week on my tv but I'm having issues with videos not loading or with 403 error ..almost all videos return this error..any ideas about what may be the reason?

Google updated something that broke most third party clients this past week... newpipe had the fix within an evening and the rest followed shortly after.

I had multiple updates over a few days on smarttube beta so the devs must have been working overtime to get it fixed and its working great again now.

Reminder to consider donating to the project if you get use out of it.

Any reason you recommend the beta instead of the stable version?

Tbh, I don't know anymore. Back when I first installed it there was a feature that was only in the beta but I don't know anymore

I personally recommend the stable version. It has integrated Adblock and sponsorblock. The dev is very responsive when issues arise like YouTube breaking stuff.
