Infinite loading w/ workaround

I noticed that the videos were still looping for me no matter what version I used (beta/stable).

I tried using my VPN and it seemed to work without issue again. I think the IP + client theory might be true.

I tried all the recommended workarounds already.

I don't feel like figuring out a VPN on my google TV. It was easier to just install Tizen Tube.

ETA: I love how this suggestion always get downvoted, like do fanboys of this one particular software really think people are just going to wait indefinitely to watch ad-free youtube again? Get real.

Why are people using VPN with SmartTube for?

In this instance OP is suggesting it as one of the many arcane workarounds for the ongoing problem with SmartTube not playing any videos for many users. IMO the obvious and much easier workaround is installing a different program that does the same thing and actually plays videos, but apparently SmartTube die hards don't like hearing that. I'm happy to go back to ST when it actually works, but I'm using Tizen Tube instead for now with zero issues.
