It seems YT started another attempt at blocking alternative clients. They changed something in their API and both SmartTube and Tubular (NewPipe fork) are completely broken. Apparently it started happening this past week, but we personally just felt it today.
Edit: SmartTube already has an update but still not working for 4K videos it seems. Tubular still not working but it might be due to the upstream (NewPipe) is still working on a fix.
I am yet to find an alternative for AndroidTV.
Have you tried SmartTube? I’d say that’s what most people use on Android TV to get rid of ads.

It’s broken too fam … I’m in shambles
(Okay, actually, I’m fine… But it is annoying)
Oh sorry, thought the question was about finding an app in general.
And like that the devs came thru… It’s back up (up to 1080p anyway… 4k still 403s)
If you have iOS and airplay support you can use safari to airplay YouTube to the TV. I use the 1blocker and sponsorblock extension for safari.
