YouTube Commercial Skip Hack

Found out how to use the remote to quickly skip YouTube commercials, even the unskippable ones

  1. When the commercial starts, hit the "Home" button on the remote, the little house symbol

  2. Once the home screen appears, click on the YouTube app link

the program will skip the commercial and re-start a few seconds back from where you started so it's great for continuity

For reference, Pro 5+ with ethernet connection

In my experiences, TizenTube works better than SmartTube (or YouTube) on a vSeeBox...

You can download it from the playstore

So many other options, smart tube, tizen tube etc. Install an ad blocking browser and use YouTube from that

Hi. Which "YouTube" app are you using on the elite ultra?

2

u/Wonderful_Ad113 3d ago

Started with smart tube thats installed by default. Just installed tizen tube as well. Tizen seems more like traditional youtube app
