Any way to filter youtube searchs on Android TV?

by Furexus2

Hey,

I know this has been asked a couple of times here, but so far, hasn't been answered. In short, I want to be able to filter youtube videos (mainly for sort by date), because looking for keywords and limiting date to newer stuff yields me far better results than the algorithm currently does.

I have SmartYoutube Next Beta installed, but it doesn't do that. There have been (old) requests on github for filters and this pops up a bit, but in the end, it doesn't seem that anything will happen soon.

Normal youtube app doesn't give me filters, freetube is just Win/Mac/Linux , youtube vanced is for mobile not for tv. Closed thing to success was just using Firefox on android, but this thing doesn't get updated, the youtube site is kinda broken and I can't log into my account, but at least it let's my filter videos. Obviously this is very clunky and I would much prefer something app-like.

Is there like *any* other possiblility to be able to filter youtube videos just with the remote on android TV (while using youtube account)?

Installing APK is obviously not an issue but I have no idea what. I really don't get why adding filter is such a taboo topic?

The only way is to connect the mobile app (Vanced) to a TV code (settings SmartTubeNext) to STN. Then use your phone to search and stream it to STN
