I usually watch YouTube on a laptop hooked up to my tv, so I downloaded freetube and just imported my subscriptions. It’s got sponsorblock and other features built in, but you can’t like or comment on videos. Overall though I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and wouldn’t dream of going back to YouTube and trying to constantly deal with them fucking it up more daily.

Jerboa works if you click on it

I used to use an app called airmore on my phone and desktop to play music. It does photos and videos too. If I remember you download the airmore app on your phone(I think you have to install it by apk) and then it’ll direct you to a web Adress on your pc. Once there you scan a QR code to pair thr devices and you can cast stuff from your phone to your pc. I haven’t used it in a while but it always worked pretty decent for me.
