SmartTube

SmartTube is an alternative YouTube player for Android devices and Smart TVs with the Android TV operating system. With this app, you can watch all YouTube videos without ads or interruptions and with additional features such as SponsorBlock, which allows you to skip sponsored segments within videos.

An app designed for Smart TVs

SmartTube is optimized for Smart TVs and TV Boxes, so it only works in landscape mode. Its interface is very simple and easy to use, with a search engine and a section of recommended videos based on your preferences. You can filter and sort the search according to different criteria, such as length, date, or type of content.

When you play a video, the interface gives you many options for customizing your experience. SmartTube supports 8K video, 60 FPS, HDR, and live chat and has adjustable playback speed. There is also a built-in ad blocker and SponsorBlock, which saves you time and hassle by automatically skipping sponsored content within some videos.

Play videos in the background without ads

One of the advantages of SmartTube is that you can play videos in the background, so you can watch or listen to them while using other apps on your TV. You can also sign in with your Google account to watch your favorite videos, save the exact point where you stopped playing, or cast videos from your smartphone using the Chromecast feature. To use this feature, just manually link your TV to your smartphone or tablet.

In the video settings, you can set parameters, such as resolution or frames per second. You can also adjust the buffer size to reduce loading times or force a specific refresh rate. In addition, you can turn subtitles on or off and view the video stats to check that the video is playing correctly. Finally, you can also read the descriptions of the videos, as well as turn off the screen to save energy or prevent it from burning out if your TV has an OLED panel.
