It was YouTube that changed how things work, almost all alternative YouTube programs stopped working.

Yeah, I didn't mean specifically regarding all the 403 that have been reported. I just thought it would be a good thing to have (though being also aware that beta releases are ofc betas)

revanced is de-facto official app that has been patched - no wonder it's working fine.

I wrote a quick tutorial on using ReVanced on an Android TV. All you really need is a cheapo wireless mouse plugged into a free USB port or a phone with a free Bluetooth keyboard/mouse app (e.g. BT Remote) and a launcher, like FLauncher to access sideloaded apps. But 22.38 is working, so you don't need ReVanced.

Just in case YT will roll out more STN-breaking changes in the future: This is already overkill. Just use the built in chromecast/miracast of your android stb and stream revanced from your phone. Is it as convenient as a native app? No. Does it work, when YT tries to break things? Yes.

Clipious is still working. Not as full-featured as Smarttube, but a serviceable backup.
