Recommendations to watch Youtube on TV
I have a headless raspberry PI 4 8GB connected to my TV setup with Kodi and the Jellyfin add-on. Now I would like to have a convenient option to watch Youtube in a privacy-friendly way on the TV.
The experience should be similar to Freetube: creating playlists, search videos, follow subscribed channels. I don’t mind running it either directly on the PI or install it on my server.
Thanks for any recommendations of what you folks use!
Been a while since I did this. But isn’t there a YouTube plugin for Kodi anymore? Back then I would send videos from my phone to Kodi using Yatse.

Yes, there is a YouTube addon for Kodi. I came here to recommend.
It’s not perfect for sure. There are some things that are annoying or difficult. I get the feeling that the developer is constantly playing cat and mouse with YouTube. But overall it blocks ads and plays my videos so I use it every day. I’m watching right now…
on my side, videos are crashing after around 90 seconds since a week or so…
