SmartTubeNext - Ad Free YouTube App on Firestick/Android

TXRon, my beta version is still working as of last night. I noticed in the link you posted, that Elias is saying that the new Downloader code is: 640913 which is probably for the non-beta version.

I will probably stick with the version Ihave now since it is still working for me. The only hassle with the beta version is that there are constant updates. So after opening the app I routinely check for updates. They typically very small so it is matter of a few seconds to load. Not a big deal.

Pretty sure the dev has also fixed the stable release as well with an update. Working fine on my end.

I updated my Nvidia Shield Pro and ONN 4k with newest Smart Tube update and now neither box will play YT for more than a minute.
If you do update, try it on a box you rarely use.
They will fix it I’m sure but for now … be WARNED !

What version of Smarttube do you have? I updated ST today and it seems to be working on my Onn Pro.

Version 26.11

Also you said your YT isn’t working. You meant your ST, right?

Version 26.11 not working
Version 25.87 was working (before update) but the app just signed me out!
Yes, meant ST
Thanks for your input

No problem. I wound up updating my Nvidia and Onn (non-pro) and both seem to be working for me as well. I tested with and w/o my vpn active on my Nvidia.

I’ll let you know if they kick me out.

Maybe try a reinstall?

Version 26.11 working for me on Ugoos am8

I’ve updated on my shield and it works fine. I’ve watch 5-6 videos and none have had any issues.

26.11 on my Onn 4k Pro and zero issues(?)…

Thanx everyone, must be my ISP

Seem to have issue with smart tube on my onn box not working as others have. Tried the fixes and no result. Would appreciate Any other suggestions.

Did you fix the issue? Now i am having a problem on both yt and st.

Going to do some resets to see if it helps.

I’ve got my Nvidia working. Deleted then reinstall did not fix, change VPN worked for a while but issues continue. Glad to know I’m not the only one.
I always update thru the App so the update should be clean. ONN still has issues not working and stopping with 403 issues. No ideas.?

So far only noticed on my Nvidia. I didn’t have the patience last night but this morning i just waited out 403 error and the video started playing again. It did take about 5 mins each time.

I’ll test it out more later.

Its been doing the same to me on 3 different firesticks. 403 error. This is annoying. Tried everything, re installing youtube, reboot, cleared cache, no luck. Has been doing this for 2 weeks.

Its a known issue apparently with the developers. You can access their Telegram discussion from the About section in setting.

There is a 26.23 beta version on there as well but i have no idea how to get that from telegram to my nvidia to test.

I just save the apk to my phone then use an app like atvTools to send it directly to my device.
The app is available for iOS and Android. It is cheap to buy off the app stores and has some great features.
You can fully control your device with it and use it to copy/paste and send text like long api keys so you don’t have to type them out.

This is from the ST github page.

(easiest) install Downloader by AFTVnews on your Android TV, open it and enter kutt.it/stn_beta or kutt.it/stn_stable, then read, understand and confirm the security prompts. (You can also enter 79015 (for beta) or 28544 (for stable), but this requires an extra step to install the AFTVnews Downloader browser addon if you haven’t already.)

and the github page is here;

I’ve been using the beta version for 5 or 6 months. I don’t know it it’s any better than the stable version, so I can’t offer an opinion. There seems to be updates every day or so. I did use it last night and it was working fine for me.
