Add SponsorBlock for your browser too, that's whats built in to STN 😁

I had tried it a long time ago and for whatever reason wasn't impressed. I read some really positive comments a few months ago and gave it another try and wow. They've made an incredible leap forward. Great app that everyone should use and support.

Yeah, I love SmartTubeNext! At first I was a little upset when SmartYoutube shut down because I liked how it looked exactly like the official YouTube app. However, SmartTubeNext offers a lot better blocking like SponsorBlock and I now love the UI customization (Teal all the way, slightly bigger cards). Playlists could use a little UI fixing because they're a bit harder to spot on it but other than that small critique, there are no real complaints only positive things to say 😁

All I mind about the app is the crazy layout. I get like 1 video per row. Its very hard to browse trending or whatnot.. but the blocking is ace.

Does the app sync history and watch later properly?

There was another Smart TV YouTube app that had difficulty with this.

It is amazing.

I had problems rewinding live streams

I can't get SmartTubeNext to play any YouTube movies. Everything else on YouTube seems to work. Is that a bug or is it just me? Thanks.

I have it on my Firestick 4K, Nvidia Shield 2017, and Hisense A6G. Really great app.

Sadly, it doesn't run 60fps videos on my Firestick 4K well for some reason. There is input lag when 60fps videos are playing. Also, when I enable HDR on Firestick 4k, the screen goes entirely white. My Hisense A6G has Dolby Vision support.

im thankful for the watch later function still implemented.

I have it, haven't tried sponsor block thing. Is it reliable?

Yup, amazing is it in short. We use it for multiple accounts and the ad skipping is the cream in top of this sweet Pavlova.

If you haven't side loaded it, do it, try it and see for yourself.

Use it myself, it's great.

Can it be set to open as the default app for YouTube videos?

i like that too just suggestions comes 10 seconds later that's bothered me mostly

Where can i download this app?

Does anybody else have the issue where when it autoplays videos, it will repeat the same videos over and over. For example, I'll put on one music video, after that ends it will go to another video but once that one ends it will play the previous video again repeating the same 2 videos over and over. Even if I manually select a different video, it will go back to the original.

Yup, top notch app!

Try f-Droid or Aurora app store

Seconded, the app is fucking amazing and has changed YouTube for me.

The app is amazing, the only thing is missing for me is time stamps or chapters on videos bars.

I would delete the YouTube app if smarttubenext add chapters

I came across this app through a YouTube video and in the video the guy can use pop-out and can scroll through the main UI while his video is still playing as well as having the pop-out option above the videos progress bar. I can't seem to locate how to do this, does anyone know where the setting for this would be? Otherwise this app is killer, the auto sponsor skip is a game changer

Anyone know what all the different loop-button options means? I've looked on the website & github for an explanation of the (I think 5?) different options mean, but haven't found anything yet.

I have to force close the app for it to load sometimes. Anyone else have this issue? Ethernet connected.

Does anyone know who the developer of STN is, or if they check the subreddit?I’ve been using Smart Tube Next on my Nvidia Shield TV for a while now and in recent months I’ve been having a couple of issues.One is the erasure of my watch history.I was reading online that it may be caused by ad blockers and since SBN beta blocks ads could it be causing this and can it be fixed?I went back to using the official Youtube app and so far I’m not having that problem anymore, but more time is needed to know for sure.The other issue is that I’ll randomly get this "Selected video format isn't supported" error message and no videos will play until I reboot the device.It works again for a while, but then it happens again.Is anyone else having these problems?

Guys great chat about a great app

I'm stumped by an issue though : any way to make default play for a video to restart rather than remember where you left off and play from there again?

Thanks!

With this work on my phone? It's a Samsung S21 Ultra on Verizon network.

I am trying to find a Vanced replacement. I like something I can sign in with my Google account so my stuff is synced up.

It's nice, although I've started getting ads in the first slot of my Recommended section, which don't appear anywhere else.. :/

I have just installed it on my phone. And its only in horizontal. Is it changeable? I have checked the settings section and cannot find anything

Edit: not sure why I was downvoted for this comment.

Love it too, just wished that it had updating through the app

The only thing I don't like about it is that it blocks intro...

It's amazing of you want to screw YouTube creators out of income. I watch mostly independent creators (not corporate crap), and I try to support them. Since I can't afford all those Patreons, I give them the revenue they need and deserve by either watching in-video endorsements and paying for YouTube premium.

Why not use Vanced?
