Can someone list the youtube alternatives and maybe even link them if youre feeling super generous? (lemmy.world)

do any of those work well on smartTVs newpipe crashes after 1:10 so i switched to https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl and just grab my subscriptions and watch them in beloved kodi.

https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext is the only app you'll need on a TV. It's designed for it and fully syncs with your original youtube account.

Yup 100% for TV SmartTube is so far ahead of its alternatives

I wish they supported NewPipe-style local subs.

Thank you. Had tried kodi plugin for YT and had a terrible experience. Pretty much stuck to using YT only on mobile or browser for so long thinking removing ads on TV wasn't possible. Now can enjoy some good videos without 3 unskippable ads nearly after every video.

tried it. maybe i dont know how, but in newpipe i can sub channels without a login. smartube cant do that,right? i do not have accounts with google,apple or crooks alike. how would i sub to channels then in smartube?
