A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you can sideload Android apps SmartTubeNext is a great option https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
LG TVs are neither Android TV nor Google TV OS, so it's a no-go here
For the cost of 3 months of YouTube Premium, you can buy a $20 Onn 4k box that runs near stock Google TV and then have a much better experience with SmartTube Next.
True. In my case I was luckily able to root it and install YouTube Adfree from homebrew channel but apparently LG has patched most of the exploits in newest firmwares.
There's this tool for webos. https://github.com/webosbrew/dev-manager-desktop fairly easy to setup and it includes a patched youtube on their default apps. No root or scary stuff required for simple apps like these. I've used it and YouTube works pretty much like you expect it to.
