Seems Google removed the AFTNews App from app store. I made a new video with a workaround check it out here: th-cam.com/video/2lmA9rnbC44/w-d-xo.html And if you need to add chromecast youtube support from your phone check out my other video here: th-cam.com/video/Sjfy5ZIyG_Q/w-d-xo.html Amazon purchase links for Google TV: 1080p HD version: amzn.to/4c6UIuP 4K version: amzn.to/3WHeBDY
THANK YOU, YOU ROCK! THIS ONE STILL WORKED FOR ME!! I was encountering two ads at the beginning of the video, after two minutes, after another five minutes, IT WAS TOO DAMN MUCH AND IT FELT LIKE IT WASN'T EVEN WATCHING TH-cam!! Now I have this app, and I can press the youtube button to automatically go to the CORRECT app, and there's truly just... no ads. Better fricking yet, the layout is like old youtube, and it makes me so nostalgic and happy. Thank you!!!
This is possibly the most useful video ever on TH-cam! I have a brand new Chromecast and Google TV remote and so a couple of the steps were slightly different. However, after fiddling with it, I was able to figure it out. Thank You!!!
As of android 12, the unknown sources is gone. Workaround: Instead you can open the file you downloaded using the "files" option on the downloader and then it gives you a prompt at that point to allow the app to be installed. Also, I am keeping the original youtube app available because the home screen of the ad free app I no longer see Shorts available.
Can also use your remote to say Google Play Store And it will open up the Google Play store. I don't know if people know that can use their remote or if they just prefer to go to the apps tab. Either way definitely a great video tho. Btw I have 2 Chromecast with Google TV (4K) devices.
AFTVNews is no longer on the play store even on the website it says so until it comes back people will need to sideload it. I was able to and it all worked beautifully. Though I did need to disable my pihole in order to go to the site in downloader.
I'm getting the error, "Sorry, aftv new isn't available on this tv." EDIT: Found the solution. It was to search "Downloader" and it was able to find the app. Also if anyone else is having trouble finding the allow unknown apps setting, what you have to do is open "File manager" and in there navigate to your downloads folder and then click the apk. It will ask you to click settings to allow installs from unknown apps.
How to turn off playback in feeds i have limited internet it consumes very much whenever I don't I don't click video and it plays in home section. Pls help
Excellent job, it worked! Is there an app on play store to cast to TV (google voice is not perfect, and typing on screen board takes forever)? I don't think SmartTube app is the same as this program?
I've found a down side for the button remapper. Before i installed the button i could press the volume button and hold it to increase the volume. After i've installed the app, this was not able anymore. i have to press every time 10 times to increase the volume by 10. Another downside was that i was not able to use the buttons on my sony bravia remote for netflix, disney+, .... Every time i clicked on one of the buttons it opened the SmartTube app. That was not like expected. I've removed the remapper app and everything was working again. Btw. I've not used the external google tv stick/device. I've used the google TV that was build in my TV.
On the menu bar the channels selection has a list of channels on the right of the tiles, how can I set the same for my Playlists & Subscriptions. 🤔. if it's possible thanks 🙏
This worked fine on TH-cam but I mainly view TH-cam Music. How do I programme the TH-cam button on the Chromecast Remote to load TH-cam Music instead of TH-cam.
Thanks for this brother TH-cam ads were driving me nuts, lol, popping up once in a while I tried Smart TH-cam which supposedly is ad free, but ads still there This youtube app also has more cool features not in the original TH-cam app If this app could also allow to write replies/comments it would be 100% would be flawless Subbed to your channel 💯😎
Thank you for info! Do you know if we can use chromecast to play videos we have on a microsd card, or hard disk? I would like to watch the videos I've made with my gopro and have stored on a microsd card. My videos are not 4k. Thank you for the info!
Thanks bro, it worked. Do you know how to make it the tv turn on and go to TH-cam with the TH-cam button while the tv is off? It only works for netflix apparently.
How safe is it to have some obscure but nice program obtain your google login details? I mean that app now has your login information to your google mail and what not. I use this app already (thought you might have something more cool) but i am not logging in. Sad thing it doesn't remember what you played without logging in. Besides this it has very common load circle while watching something, maybe at times where it supposed to load adds? Still this app is very nice and a blessing.
Yes you can! To cast to the STN_Beta you need to do an additional step found here: t.me/SmartTubeNext_en/8514 More detailed explaintion is here: github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
@@henrih137 you don't actually need to uninstall it to use the TH-cam button with the method I showed in the video. In fact I would advise against it because u want to retain the ability to cast to TH-cam from your smartphone as the TH-cam casting with the STN app is hit and miss

Worked great with the caveats about Android 12 having a few different menus. Subscribed.
Thanks for this tutorial, the app works on my tv. Been looking for this for quite some time. 👍

did you put tv put into developer mode first?
@@jayzah yes
Thanks a lot. I was not able to find the option after the latest update hahaha
Thank you.
This worked. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I don't have to watch ads every minute on TH-cam now.
You're welcome!
JC thanks man I subscribed as well. I did ask a question, could you show me how to get live previews when scrolling through videos like you have ?
Just bought my new skyworth TV and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much❤
Thanks so much for this it works flawlessly and has more features than the TH-cam app too. Subscribed!!

Great tutorial! Amazing features I've discovered thanks to you on this Chromecast. Thank you!

Thank you for info! Do you know if we can use chromecast to play videos we have on a microsd card, or hard disk? I would like to watch the videos I've made with my gopro and have stored on a microsd card. My videos are not 4k. Thank you for the info!
You can't use Chromecast app for that situation but you can use VLC in play store and it should be able to cast your local content
Does the button remapper app have to stay installed or can I uninstall it after remapping the button?
I am your new subscribers
Thanks bro, it worked. Do you know how to make it the tv turn on and go to TH-cam with the TH-cam button while the tv is off? It only works for netflix apparently.
It worked for me, while my tv is off I pressed the TH-cam button and it opened the app and started playing the video where it left off
Does the app update automatically? I’ve seen these in the past where Google changes something in TH-cam and breaks the 3rd part application.
How safe is it to have some obscure but nice program obtain your google login details? I mean that app now has your login information to your google mail and what not.
I use this app already (thought you might have something more cool) but i am not logging in. Sad thing it doesn't remember what you played without logging in.
Besides this it has very common load circle while watching something, maybe at times where it supposed to load adds? Still this app is very nice and a blessing.
i give my info to all the companies because i lost my tin foil hat
The app is open-source. I trust it more than Google
You link the app through youtube/active, you do not have to give the app your account details.
hey thanks for the video. i cant find the AFTVNews App. is there another way to get SmartTube next?
It was removed, great......I i now need to return my Chromecast lol. I bought it just to do use SmartTubenext.....
checkout the new video I made in the pined comments
Gooood 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
HI thanks for the tip
Can I delete the button remapper after this ?
Thanks a lot bro, can we play amazon prime using this app?
Yes of course with the button remapper app u can program anything you want on it
Can you uninstall the official YT app after that? When casting from the phone, will it cast to smartTube? Thanks for the video!
Yes you can! To cast to the STN_Beta you need to do an additional step found here:
t.me/SmartTubeNext_en/8514
More detailed explaintion is here: github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
Were you able to uninstall the stock TH-cam? and use the button on the remote to launch ur custom TH-cam?
@@henrih137 you don't actually need to uninstall it to use the TH-cam button with the method I showed in the video. In fact I would advise against it because u want to retain the ability to cast to TH-cam from your smartphone as the TH-cam casting with the STN app is hit and miss
Can you sign in and have your TH-cam subs and history follow?
@henri h yes, working great. For casting from phone, I use TH-cam Vanced
