The SmartTube app is the only way to watch Youtube on TV.

I have a little app I've made that serves only to offer me a Download From Clipboard button.

Using Freetube I copy the URL of what i want to watch, click the button, which then uses yt-dlp to download the video in an Apple TV-friendly format, which it then drops into my Jellyfin folder.

Its SO MUCH nicer than having to use the regular YouTube app, and has the added benefit of removing the temptation to mindlessly scroll, looking for something else to watch.
