Recommendations to watch Youtube on TV (lemmy.ml)

I have a headless raspberry PI 4 8GB connected to my TV setup with Kodi and the Jellyfin add-on. Now I would like to have a convenient option to watch Youtube in a privacy-friendly way on the TV.

The experience should be similar to Freetube: creating playlists, search videos, follow subscribed channels. I don't mind running it either directly on the PI or install it on my server.

Thanks for any recommendations of what you folks use!

Buy a $20 Android TV box from Walmart and install Smarttube on it.

    He wants privacy from YouTube, pretty sure that he doesn't want Walmart to steal his data either

    Walmart doesn't make the box so more like Google or China.

    Nobody makes their own boxes, everything you love to play with either gets designed, fabricated, or packaged in to boards, or assembled, in China.

    So tired of the casual racism of "this brand good, but that brand bad, because China." I know you didn't mean something malicious by it, but we've got to do better.
