Revanced is complicated because you first need to find a compatible YouTube version (old version) and download it’s APK. Then, you need to uninstall YouTube, apply Revanced to the downloaded APK and then install it
Only to discover the Cast button was removed by Revanced. When you start over, deselect “remove cast button from video player”, you still end up without it.
I can’t even cast to SmartTubeNext on AndroidTV…
Way too complex and too limiting for 99.99% of YouTube watchers.
Maybe NewPipe is something for you, as it has most of the features mentioned above and is easy to install via F-Droid. I’m using it for years now and really love it!
The only app revanced has is the “revanced manager”, which requires you to manually download a youtube apk and then patch it yourself. Any finished revanced youtube client you find online is done by a third party and is very risky to use.

NewPipe does not have cast functionality and doesn’t include Sponsorblock.
I think there even is an app called “NewPipe Sponsorblock” on F-Droid but I dunno about the cast function.
Revanced has an app and works like ok.
