There is SmartTubeNext with ad/sponsor block and most importantly it let's you remove shorts, news, games, music, transmissions. And it is open source.
I wish SmartTube was able to connect to Invidious instances. As Google is getting more and more aggressive against ad blockers, I’d like to be able to put one more “insurance” barrier in place in case they end up start banning accounts. SmartTube is far and away the best YouTube client for androidTV, legitimate or otherwise though. Even if I was paying for YouTube premium, SmartTube would still provide an objectively better viewing experience.
