Smart YouTube TV is a free, open-source YouTube client specifically designed for Android-based smart TVs and set-top boxes. It was developed by Yuriy Lyskov to provide a high-quality, ad-free streaming experience on larger screens without the typical limitations of the official app. While the original belongs to an older lineage of the app, its successor, SmartTube , remains a top choice for users seeking 4K resolution support and advanced customization.
