    Building and loading your own apps for tvOS isn’t hard but the instructions are always written for Xcode in its native environment (macos, formerly osx of xcode fame). You may have no problem setting up a vm for that, already have some device that runs macos natively or run into an infinite amount of roadblocks that you can’t surpass.

    In the last case be careful what insane unofficial smarttube app you settle on.

    You could also, and I wasn’t able to come up with a better way to put this because I’m not very smart so apologies if it seems like an attack, not watch youtube on the tv.

      youtube is like the only thing i watch so giving it up is a big deal, and all of the other stuff you said is basically nonsense to me 🥹

        In that case plan on doing your research into what specific insane unofficial smarttube app you want to use.
