I have a headless raspberry PI 4 8GB connected to my TV setup with Kodi and the Jellyfin add-on. Now I would like to have a convenient option to watch Youtube in a privacy-friendly way on the TV.

The experience should be similar to Freetube: creating playlists, search videos, follow subscribed channels. I don't mind running it either directly on the PI or install it on my server.

Thanks for any recommendations of what you folks use!

I ended up with the same solution, but it is a bit lacking and seems to be abandoned. Did you manage to import playlists from other devices?

I never really used Playlists, so I cannot comment on that, sorry. The only thing I do is subscribing to some channels in Invidious when I am on my PC and I do see them in Kodi. Usually I search for what I am interested in and that works fine for me in Kodi and Invidious. Invidious is still in active development, but you meant the Kodi Plugin maybe? I hope it is not abandoned and just not worked on because it still... works? :-)
