- I would be using it to watch jellyfin mostly, but also youtube (I’ve seen that smartube looks good) and netflix.
- Security and privacy are priorities.
- My budget is up to 50 dollars.
I’ve seen this one onn Android TV amazon link, is it any good?
I’m new to the android tv box world so any help is appreciated.
I am using a Chromecast Ultra, but that only works if you’re ok with using google hardware and software.
I set it up so that smarttube is my default youtube player. I use the stock Netflix app and no jellyfin.
I would like to use PeerTube on it but there is no client where you can log in to your account.
How do you force Smarttube as default? I uninstalled the default YouTube app, but if the device suggests a YouTube video and I click on it, it tries to install YouTube instead of opening it in Smarttube.
If you don’t want to write out a lot of instructions but have a link to someone else’s instructions, please feel free to do that…
SmartTube -> Settings -> About -> Enable global search (firmware support needed)
If you click that it will download a app which will function like a gate (it places it in instead of the original YouTube app which it deletes) and sending everything which normally goes to the original YouTube app to SmartTube instead. So global search works, the promotional stuff on the homepage also gets opened in SmartTube and so on.
thx, works wonders on my CCwGTV
Thankyou Jeena, you absolute God/ess!
Man, I wish I could chromecast netflix from my phone but apparently Netflix now requires you to use their app.
I should get smarttube though.
