PaulDavis OK. Foolish me I'm watching SmartTube while tapping on the phone, completely forgetting that Android TV (Nvidia Shield) is not the same as Android within phones. There isn't a version of SmartTube for the phone. Sorry to get your hopes up
DeletedUser43 PaulDavis Forget Ramstein, this is a safer test: open-heart surgery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym2-QTHdBuk You still can get our hopes up. SmartTube doesn't talk to Youtube directly, it uses Invidious proxy. If you could take a look into settings which instance is used, then we could figure out which country is not blocked yet.
SerenityNow DeletedUser43 Seems I'm not gonna be a heart surgeon anytime soon :( Both Brave as well as Grayjay want an age verification.
PaulDavis DeletedUser43 On SmartTube the open heart surgery video came up with no restrictions. Didn't even ask if i wanted to pretend to be over 18. Couldn't even find it on Grayjay, so perhaps they don't show resticted items
DeletedUser69 SerenityNow you can still try the common way to become a heart surgeon, don't have to discover potion of eternal youth in the process, you know what I mean.
DeletedUser43 PaulDavis Are you 100% sure you're not log it? Someone on SmartYube Issue tracker claims, this is not possible: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/issues/3897
SilverCat38 PaulDavis I didn't know about smarttube and now I cant live without it on my chromecast 😁 thanks for telling us
PaulDavis DeletedUser43 I did say burner Google account There was no age verification Can't remember what the VPN was set for, but I'm sure it was america
DeletedUser43 PaulDavis Ups, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you've written. Credit card requirement it still rare. They probably have some model deciding on case-by-case basis. Burner YouTube account should be a solution for most people.
Carrousel7956 I have a solution to this. Tested and worked in Brave incognito window. This specific site allows you to download or watch directly. The specific site doesn't matter just pick one from the list. the site: https://ytdown.to/ Where to find more: https://fmhy.net/social-media-tools#youtube-downloaders
