I've prepared the fix. Also, the only thing that could keep me from doing it quickly is an electricity outage.

2024-12-10 00:11:13 +0000 UTCI just realized that it's after 23:00 in Ukraine. The guy is probably sleeping. Greatest app ever when it's working

2024-12-09 20:49:08 +0000 UTCThat's not the case for me, at least on my FireTV Cube. I can load the normal youtube app up fine.

2024-12-09 19:39:25 +0000 UTCStrangely enough clicking on the "real" YouTube app now brings up the broken SmartTube app :O - so no way to run YouTube at all :'(

2024-12-09 19:04:00 +0000 UTCAny update on when it'll be running again? Still getting nothing

2024-12-09 18:23:01 +0000 UTCWait half of an hour. The situation should be normalized.
Yuriy
2024-12-09 17:46:19 +0000 UTCUh oh looks like something changed. Getting video unavailable, watch on latest version of Youtube.

2024-12-09 17:44:56 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, that's not so simple. You need to install the beta manually. Downloader code 79015. After that, restore your settings through the previously created backup. Settings/Backup/Restore
Yuriy
2024-12-08 17:05:45 +0000 UTCI have a dumb Q... how do I switch between beta and stable? I've been wandering through the settings, but I don't see the option in the app. Is it something I have to do by loading a different apk?

2024-12-08 16:18:08 +0000 UTCYou fixed it! Thanks, you're the best!

2024-12-07 11:30:22 +0000 UTCStill doesn't work on my Sony, running beta 25.03. Release version seems to work ok, will use this instead.

2024-12-07 02:01:54 +0000 UTCJust updated to the latest beta release and it's fixed - You're an absolute legend and this is why we donate.

2024-12-07 01:52:17 +0000 UTCIt's the protection system from Google. I'm searching for a solution.
Yuriy
2024-12-07 01:26:29 +0000 UTCI just installed the stable version. Neither one works for me. I just get the spinning circle.
Wicked Coolname
2024-12-07 00:49:00 +0000 UTCI don't know why, but I've always used the beta. Should I switch to stable?
Wicked Coolname
2024-12-06 23:16:55 +0000 UTCThanks!
Wicked Coolname
2024-12-06 23:15:59 +0000 UTCGot it. I'll update the beta in an hour.
Yuriy
2024-12-06 22:28:18 +0000 UTCHi, beta
Wicked Coolname
2024-12-06 22:21:33 +0000 UTCHi. Are you using the beta or the stable?
Yuriy
2024-12-06 21:51:13 +0000 UTCHasn't worked on my Sony TV all day today.
Wicked Coolname
2024-12-06 21:04:34 +0000 UTCHi. Should be fixed within a couple of hours
Yuriy
2024-12-06 17:12:25 +0000 UTCIt’s broken again. So lost with this app. Use it night before. Goto work turn it on and all I get is spinning thing. Or it takes a minute or 2 to load. Video.

2024-12-06 16:35:17 +0000 UTCHi. I think pinning Watch later to the sidebar is what you want. This option should be in the context menu.
Yuriy
2024-12-06 15:13:27 +0000 UTCHi. I use SmartTube on my nVidia Shield and love it. I actually pay for YouTube premium, but still use smarttube because the interface is just so much better. One issue I have is I save videos to watch later, but rarely go in to find videos that I've marked. Is there a way to expose the watch later list as a channel on the home screen like Recommendations and History?
Chris Medley
2024-12-06 12:01:10 +0000 UTC"Local storage" will always be OK with me. Thanks as always for all of the work you do to make SmartTube better!
Tom Hoots
2024-12-03 13:05:35 +0000 UTCCorrect. I'm trying to mimic the original feature by using the local storage till find a better solution.
Yuriy
2024-12-03 04:21:04 +0000 UTCInteresting: My "Notifications" section just got populated. After being "empty" for a very long time. Still, it's not quite "correct" -- and I think I know what happened. I spent a couple of hours today, right before seeing this population -- going through my folders, trying to cut down the number of channels I had subscribed to and had added to those folders. And I found a few channels that I wanted to add to my YouTube notifications -- perhaps half a dozen channels. Which I did by playing a video, and updating the notifications within the video. And THOSE are the channels now showing in the notification section. So, perhaps this has been mentioned before somewhere, but this looks like "Notifications are stored locally." That said, it does appear that the notifications I updated -- marking them as "All" -- did indeed get through to my YouTube account. I'll have to see how this goes over a bit of time. For what it's worth, I hope this helps.
Tom Hoots
2024-12-03 02:31:57 +0000 UTCGot it. Stay on the beta so far.
Yuriy
2024-12-01 00:46:58 +0000 UTCBeta is working flawlessly.
Alex Cooke
2024-11-30 23:56:12 +0000 UTCOf course. I'll switch now.
Alex Cooke
2024-11-30 23:48:14 +0000 UTCGot it. May I ask you to switch to the beta (temporarily)? I'll do updates there very often. I need your feedback in real-time.
Yuriy
2024-11-30 23:40:46 +0000 UTCI don't get any error message. I click on a video to play it, and it shows the normal video info and playback controls, but refuses to play.
Alex Cooke
2024-11-30 23:38:03 +0000 UTCHi. Can you describe which error you got?
Yuriy
2024-11-30 23:36:24 +0000 UTCIt worked for me for about 12 hours, then the error where it opens a video but never plays returned, unfortunately.
Alex Cooke
2024-11-30 22:41:55 +0000 UTCAh, I didn’t realise! Thanks for that info 👍🏻.

2024-11-30 01:07:37 +0000 UTCI know exactly what you mean. Every day I pray that our Youtube Overlords are in a benevolent mood, so they won't do to you what they did to VancedYT.. 😑

2024-11-29 22:09:46 +0000 UTCNo. I intentionally do not log in. Thanks for your great work, but do users now have to log in to see Home Screen content?
gattatsu
2024-11-29 20:46:33 +0000 UTCThanks for the good words, friend. Sure, I'll do what I can to keep this project afloat. Unfortunately, there are things I cannot control like nasty google tricks.

2024-11-29 12:01:47 +0000 UTCThanks again for the quickfix a few weeks ago.. I have thought of you and thanked you internally every time I opened the app – I've been using it non-stop to keep updated on the movements, have a bit of a laugh with the others and forget the reason why we're here.. I pray to thank whomever watches over us all for your existance. Well, that and for the fact that I'm a silly bugger and decided to always carry my Nvidia Shield, a kind of mix between an Android TV and a gaming console, around with me. Just for the one in a million case that we would find an empty building with power and a TV in order to get more information and maybe even have a nice, peaceful film evening with no report-worthy incidents, a bit of normality amidst the sea of despair, dead bodies and other things my brain regularly refuses to accept as reality. Thank you so, so much for not abandoning the project, unlike all of the other guys who "grew out of the modding hobby" and suddenly left us stranded with an outdated app the gets slowly devoured by Youtube's or, in the cases I'm talking about, Instagram's war against modded versions of their own app and 3rd party apps, even if they had been built from the ground up. Sorry for yapping on and on like that. Again. 😅
