On unsupported TVs, you can use amazon fire TV stick, any android TV stick or android TV box.

It is successfully tested on TVs, TV boxes and TV sticks which are based on Android, including:
- Android TVs & Google TVs (e.g. Philips, Sony)
- Chromecast with Google TV & TVs with Chromecast built-in
- Amazon FireTV stick (all generations)
- NVIDIA Shield
- TV boxes running Android (many cheap chinese no-name boxes)
- Xiaomi Mi Box
How To Cast from your Phone?
For casting videos from your phone or other devices, you have to link that device first to your TV. SmartTube does not automatically show up though you are in the same Wi-Fi network. To link your smartphone and TV, follow these steps:
- Open SmartTube app and go to settings
- Select “Remote control” (2nd option)
- Now open YouTube app on your phone, go to settings > General > watch on TV
- Click on connect using TV-code and enter the code from your TV
How To Install SmartTube?
- Install a file transfer app on your Android TV. Download the APK on your phone or computer and transfer it to your TV (e.g. Send Files to TV from the Google Play Store / Amazon AppStore)
- Download the APK on USB stick, insert USB stick in your TV. Use any file manager app from the Google Play Store / Amazon AppStore (e.g. FX File Explorer or X-plore). Android’s preinstalled file manager does not work! Do not get the ad-infested FileCommander.

FAQs:-
There is no result for the search that I say (Android 11)
They’re some reports that the latest update for “Google app for Android TV” could cause this bug. Deleting the update should fix the problem.
AV01 does not play / Why is VP9 slow on my device?
Because AV01 is very new, most TVs and TV boxes not not offer hardware support and cannot play AV01 at all.
If your device has hardware support for a codec, videos using that codec should play smoothly. High resolutions might also be slow in VP9 on cheap TV boxes that don’t officially support 4k. Your device probably can play VP9 videos even without hardware support, however this requires a powerful CPU to run smoothly. Fixing AV01 without hardware support is technically possible, but currently not planned and probably not efficient enough.

Can I install this on a Samsung Tizen TV / LG webOS TV / Roku / iOS / toaster?
No, this only works on Android devices. Instead, you can connect a separate TV stick or TV box to your TV.
Can I install this on a smartphone? / Can you add portrait mode? / Scrolling doesn’t work.
Big No. This is not for smartphones, we offer zero support for that. Instead You can Download other apps available on this website ytmodapk.com
Can I install this on a tablet / car screen / smartphone with docking station?
Yes… maybe. But it should be an android device. It should have a large screen. It should have a TV remote, controller, or keyboard Touch input and is not supported. Mouse/touchpad scrolling neither. You cannot properly use SmartTube with only touch or mouse input. Some users reported great success though.
I get “unknown codec” / “can’t download video” errors
Please wait 5 seconds for the video to play. If that doesn’t help, press the play button. Some users reported, that this issue only appears when they have a USB audio device attached or if their disk storage is full.
I get “the video profile is not supported”
Press the “HQ”-button in the bottom-left, select video formats and select anything other than AV01. AV01 is not supported on most devices (apparently including yours), so select VP9 instead.
I get “video unavailable” when watching unlisted videos / my own videos
Right, that’s currently a bug.
It doesn’t show up on my casting list
Please read the description above and follow the instructions for casting from your phone.
The video is buffering a lot
Possibly, YouTube is discriminating 3rd party apps.
For now, try to see if it helps to:
Reduce the resolution (or chance it back)
Change the video format to AVC
Increase the buffer in the settings
Hit the back button and try playing the video again

The debug information says my display is 1080p, but I have a 4k/UHD display!
Do not worry, the debug information is incorrect. SmartTube works fine even above 1080p and you should be able to see that, when you play a video in 4k or UHD. Also do not worry if it says “720p” and you have a 1080p display.
Why does it not autoselect highest quality?
It does (by default). If you set a video profile under settings, that acts as a maximum for automatic selection. Check if you configured a video profile, you can unset it by choosing “none”. Please do not confuse quality with bitrate.
How to start the next video automatically / stop after every video?
You can switch between different autoplay-modes using the loop-button 🔁
Can I download videos?
Not with SmartTube
I am no longer certain where you are getting your info, but good topic.

lookout for this info for my mission.
