Looks like Google is now cracking down on the VPN trick: https://9to5google.com/2024/06/20/youtube-premium-vpn/

I hope I'm safe living in Argentina for a bit longer. After having YTP for a number of years I can't go back to regular YT

Never used to iirc - the TVs I have/had used their own inbuilt YT app to handle the (Chrome)cast, so you just ended up with adverts.

I have a couple of nvidia shields running STube on them, so no adverts via that - until Google spoilt the fun that is, and block/lock down such apps. But then again, the beauty of Android means groups will find work-arounds eventually

Sorry, as in I don't have the cast button at all!

Huh? SmartTube is still working for me. Are you using the latest version?

Last time I checked it was broken due to relying on microG. Alternative way is to pair it via Link to TV with code.

Working for me too, but the question was about YT Vanced and casting

I expect Vanced is basically dying a slow death, so casting won't be an option - revanced might have it, or just use a patched apk.

Sorry, meant with casting via Link with TV code from ReVanced to SmartTube. Was still working last time I checked.
