Get tourself smart tube. It’s a million times better than the youtube tv app. I got a chromecast tv specifically so I could side load smart tube cause i was sick of the youtube app on my tv
I don’t remember it being that tricky, you just download the release from github and either put it on a usb to put into your Chromecast or send it from your phone via a myriad of apps and you just install it on your Chromecast like you would with your phone. You might have to enable developer mode but that’s just as easy on a phone to by just pressing ok on the version number in the settings a few times
I just went through the steps and it seems like the menu no longer jives with the instructions. I’ll keep poking away at it. I did unlock developer mode so, progress.
If you get it to work, I’d also look into getting the button remapper app so you can make the YouTube button on your remote open up smart tube instead.
I also use it to map the double tap of Netflix to Disney+ and a hold to go to Amazon. It’s pretty handy.
It’s worth it. You only have to.install it once and then you can update it from inside itself. I have YouTube premium so ads don’t pop anyway but sponsorblock awesome and the actual interface is better and doesn’t completely change randomly for the worse like YouTube app does Everytime they get an amazing idea for how to make the UX worse.

That’s seems more complex than I’m willing to attempt. I’ll keep it in mind, thanks for the suggestion!

I didn’t know that was a thing! Sounds like a worthwhile endeavor!

Excellent. Good to hear. I’ll keep trying!
