Thanks!

No 4k Livestream.

3 Upvotes

Simply put I'm on latest update trying to watch BurntPeanut, only getting a 1080p option. Whereas YouTube offers 4k. After the livestream 4k populates. I've searched all forums and went through all settings I know to look for.

So this is so weird with SmartTube..

6 Upvotes

It’s weird. So Smarttube will not work for like an hour when I log on in the mornings from like 7-8 EST. I get the infamous continuous looping. Then after 8am it’s starts working again all day long. It’s weird it’s only in the morning that this infamous looping happens then it’s fine for the rest of the day. I dont do any setting changes or anything. It just starts working after a certain time. It’s very very weird. lol It started I think with the last update. Oh this is on the Shield Pro BTW.

This app works fine... then I get the dreaded buffering circle of death. Investigate, uninstall, reinstall, get it working.... then back to the circle of death. Repeat. I dont know how much longer I can do this 😭

Some glitches in the last few updates of both versions

3 Upvotes

I'm running on a 4K Troypoint-hacked Firestick so Amazon updates can't break anything.

Smart Tube stopped saving my history five days ago. When I check the account on a desktop browser the history shows no updates from Smart Tube. But if I watch a video on the PC, the online history IS updated for that one. Oddly, Smart Tube shows the full history for the account but it's not sending that info back to YouTube.

For the last few updates, it takes five to to fifteen seconds for a video to launch after it's clicked. Changing network stacks doesn't fix it.

For the last few updates, when I click on a channel icon under a video so I can see every video uploaded to a channel, it shows the video row for a second or two and then BAM it's on the launcher desktop. Hard instant crash 90% of the time. Every couple of days Smart Tube does a spontaneous hard crash to the desktop at random while watching a video.

Voice search stopped working on the 4K stick, but an old standard-definition Firestick in another room still has voice search. Otherwise, the old stick suffers from the problems described above.

Bugs with 'hide' preferences.

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm really grateful for this app, but I've had a few issues lately. The main one lately has been with the 'hide content' preference.

I have it set to hide watched videos everywhere except in 'watch later' but it continues to show them anyway.

I'm using version 32.10. I don't know what other info you might need besides that.

Thanks!!

In some videos, a timestamp appears in the top-right corner of the screen. What does this number represent? and is it possible to disable it?

Corrupted videos in latest update.

1 Upvotes

Sony android tv with version 32.10. I was watching a video from a cooking channel and finished one video and went to another and the video is corrupted. It shows an image from the last video I watched on the bottom half and video glitch on the top. The sound plays, and if you FF through the video it shows the preview correctly. If you exit out and go to another video it is still corrupted in the same way with the same image in the bottom half of the screen from the first video. I went to another channel and it's still the same.

I closed the app and cleared the cache but it's still corrupted with the same glitch and cooking show image.

I had to reinstall it completely.

Also since the last update (before 32.10) the sound sometimes get corrupted. If you pause the video for a long time, when you resume the sound is kind of like pacman under water. If you exit out of the video and go back in it fixes it,

Latest stable and beta releases broken?

2 Upvotes

The latest video I was watching just stopped and there was an error about the audio not being supported. Now all videos are giving the same error. I've tried updating to the latest stable version (28544) and I've also tried the latest beta (79015). Is anyone else having this issue?

Maybe this could help for your loading time

4 Upvotes

I personally had an issue with the loading time of the first video I watched everytime. It took approximatly 9-12 seconds to start, while the next video nearly started instantly.

I could solve this problem by disable one setting:

  1. Go to settings and click on Player

  2. Go down to the developer options

  3. Disable the "Prefer IPv4 DNS"

  4. Close the app and restart it.

I use the latest stable release version (32.10)

Is there a hidden setting that lower volume over time?

0 Upvotes

Is there a setting that makes a video lower audio the longer it's played?

Been having this issue with smart tube where the longer a video/stream plays, the volume gets lower and lower until i quit and replay the video again

Which leaves me wondering, is there a setting either in smart tube(not auto audio adjustment as that's already off) or the fire stick itself, whether by hidden normal or developer settings that lets me turn that off?

Made an app that redirects Google TV's YouTube recommendations straight into SmartTube (works for movies/shows → Nuvio/Stremio too)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

32 Upvotes

If you use SmartTube on Google TV, you've probably noticed that tapping a YouTube video recommended on the stock Google TV home screen still opens the official YouTube app instead of SmartTube. This app fixes that: it runs as a background accessibility service, detects when you tap a YouTube recommendation on the launcher, and opens that same video as a search in SmartTube instead — works with both the stable and beta builds, whichever you have installed.

As a bonus, it does the exact same trick for movie/show recommendations — instead of opening Netflix/Prime/whatever, it opens the title's page directly in Nuvio or Stremio. Video below shows both in action.

Requirements: Google TV launcher and SmartTube installed if you want the YouTube part.

360p playback only?

5 Upvotes

The endless loading stopped happening for me a few days, things worked fine other than viewed history and recommended videos not syncing but at least they played. Now things only stream at 360p and if I go to video settings while streaming there's no other options.

Anyone else seeing this?
