Hello scurvy dogs

Im looking for some advice on how I should go about continuing to watch youtube while blocking / bypassing ads on my LG TV.

I recently ended my premium subscription because of price hikes and such but webOS on LG TVs is very restrictive with its apps.

Ive started to use LibreTube on my devices which is awsome but ive only got a couple of options that might work on the telly:

1- I host a local Jellyfin server for all our other content needs so maybe i can integrate youtube into this somehow.

2- Ive got a spare Pi 3b laying around that I could use as something and just HDMI to the TV which im fine with.

Currently I think that maybe running android on the Pi and then using LibreTube on that is my best option.

So my question is, what do you guys use / what are your setups to watch youtube ad free on ya TV?

      Thank you! I’m in the same situation as OP and looking at the homebrew store it even includes apps for the other things I’m missing too! (CrunchyRoll and Jellyfin).

      Do you happen to know if there’s any way I can get ChromeCast like functionality from my TV? It’s my last remaining little niggle with the TV.

      EDIT: unfortunately LG has patched out the ability for rootmy.tv to work
