I have the same setup as you and just pay the Premium. One thing I would recommend is getting isponsorblocktv on your server. It skips the ad reads within the YouTube content and works on Apple TV. Every year or so I look for a tracker doing YouTube or a sonarr YouTube fork. The instinct to hoard data is strong. But none have worked consistently for me.

Ah good shout, I remember looking in to that a while back but never went ahead.
The hard thing about needing premium is I could likely easily not have it, but the scumbags limit downloads (cache) on YouTube kids to premium members, which comes in handy in a pickle for sure for my daughter.

Instead of using those, you could be using a free streaming site. You’ll get more content and it’s easier to set up.
Just type in the URL, and search for what you want.
Here’s one of the best sites I’ve found: hydrahd.io I guarantee they have significantly more offerings than either apple tv or your plex.

Free streaming sites are awful. I prefer my way thank you.
And I don’t mind paying for things, just not getting ripped off.
I buy things on 4k that are special, then on iTunes for in between and then high seas everything else. I have a decent home server.

No they aren’t, lol. But whatever floats your boat.
I’ll be over here enjoying more things for a cheaper price and helping others do the same.

Yeah, they are. So why do you think they set all of that up for you to freely stream torrents? What is in it for them? Data? Malware? What?

Free sites come and go. Usenet is eternal
