Hi all,
I’m building a media center PC and am looking for a tv-controller friendly UI for YouTube. My best case scenario is basically Smarttube as is available on Android TVs. It is a perfect app, but I believe it’s not attainable on desktop.
I’m willing to use either Windows or Linux, and have a moderate level of competence in the latter.
I’d prefer that it function well with Kodi. Is the Kodi YouTube plugin any good? Another option I’d like to explore is Freetube or Invidious, but a surface level amount of research hasn’t shown me any TV-like UIs.
Previously, I’ve used a spoofed user agent to trigger YouTube’s native TV UI, but it’s pretty shit and I’d prefer to not go there directly in any case.
Any insight is appreciated, even if it’s a suggestion to post this to another community. Thanks in advance.
