im looking to get an appletv, cause its basically the most privacy-friendly streaming box you can get (unless you make a linux box of course), but im not sure if you can use something like smarttube on an appletv. I can barely watch youtube with the ads its insane. I found three apps on github but idk if they’re any good so here they are: SmartTube-IOS(https://github.com/say4n/SmartTube-iOS), yattee(https://github.com/yattee/yattee) and Unwatched(https://github.com/fer0n/Unwatched)
thank guy
I used to use Yattee on my AppleTV awhile back, but it stopped working when all the invidious instances started to have to implement blockers for all the scrappers. I think if you really want to watch YouTube on your TV without ads that Linux will probably be your best bet. Alternatively, you can connect your laptop and use FreeTube via HDMI, I do that occasionally. i don’t know about those other apps.
If you’re really bent on getting an AppleTV and you live near an Apple store, you can buy one, try it out for a fee data and return it if it’s not to your liking. I believe that Apple has a 14 day return window, but double check just to make sure.
Maybe OP could self-host Invidious and have the app point to it.
