    Probably the most convenient to buy an androidbox or rasberry pi 3 with kodi on board.

    I use rasberry and thanks to HDMI-CEC I have control over kodi using the remote control with TV.

    I wonder why youtube does somehow work in your tv browser and the application itself has been degraded? Unfortunately, the browser is on katorga.

    Admittedly, the old subject, but the current problem. Here's the solution, I did it as described and working. It does not look like an old app, but it works and that's the most important thing. Checked on Samsung UE40EH5300

    Yes, there is a clever way to restore the YouTube app, I just discovered it recently :) I noticed the disappearance of the YouTube application in December, when I wanted to watch a video from this site on a larger screen, unfortunately, despite the search I was unable to find a solution. I recently came back to trying to solve this problem, I tried various tricks that dealt with this problem, but the solutions were not very satisfying. Finally, after many hours of searching, I was able to find a solution on a foreign side, thanks to which I can enjoy the YouTube application on our older TV sets as in the good old days. I have recorded a short tutorial on this subject:


    I know that I was a little late with this guide and many people have already been able to waste money on additional equipment, but if you have not done so already, you have the chance to save yourself unnecessary expense.

    Thanks a lot for this instructional video. Finally, I have access to You Tube on my old TV. Because the browser was tragic about it. She stopped as if Armageddon was about to come. best regards

    And what can Samsung B series users do to achieve the same effect?

    4 years have passed and the case has worsened ...
    My browser on the TV is Internet Explorer called Web Browser, which since Internet Explorer from Windows 7 is no longer supported, YouTube doesn't work on it.
    There are alternatives to viewing YouTube: ForkPlayer, OldTube, OVP, and ForkLmod. But a few months ago their servers were shut down.

    There is a video inserted in the thread, how to install something that supposedly has YouTube ... Unfortunately, it does not help? The films do not play and additionally cause discomfort, because applications with Cyrillic characters do not inspire my trust? Uninstalled, I coped with it, thank you

    This video is four years old so it's no wonder it doesn't work anymore.
    I propose to buy Google Chromecast 4
