Comment on Help choosing an android tv box
Donk240978@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months agoHow do you force Smarttube as default? I uninstalled the default YouTube app, but if the device suggests a YouTube video and I click on it, it tries to install YouTube instead of opening it in Smarttube.
If you don’t want to write out a lot of instructions but have a link to someone else’s instructions, please feel free to do that…

SmartTube -> Settings -> About -> Enable global search (firmware support needed)
If you click that it will download a app which will function like a gate (it places it in instead of the original YouTube app which it deletes) and sending everything which normally goes to the original YouTube app to SmartTube instead. So global search works, the promotional stuff on the homepage also gets opened in SmartTube and so on.
