Miracle of miracles - using that version did the trick!! Thank you…
One odd thing I noticed - I use a Launcher (Projectivy) to avoid all the Amazon rubbish, and each time I uninstalled the app then reinstalled a newer version, it would appear in the same spot in the app list. This time though, it appeared first in the list - which seems to suggest (to my simple mind) that some sort of gremlin remained for the first few times I uninstalled it.
Not to worry - problem sorted. And thanks again for your help/advice…
Yep, I’m still plugging along with 19.81. Works perfectly and only use it maybe once a week – no updates for a year or two+. Won’t update until I have to.
Tonight I tried to watch SmarTube. I didn’t get my usual UI. Got a screen that says “Can’t load content” with 6 possibilities why, and a Sign In click. That gives me a QR code to log in. Looks like YouTube has hijacked it. I somehow got to one of my channels and watched an episode, with YouTube annoying commercials. But mostly, all my configuration is lost and SmarTube doesn’t work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it with no change. Another gut-punch from billionaires?
I had issues a couple weeks ago where it wouldn’t play videos. Then I realized I had an old version. I updated it via Troy’s Toolbox and it has been fine since. My 5 year old uses it constantly, so I had to get it fixed or never hear the end of it lol. Not sure why yours is acting like this, very odd.
