~~Hmm maybe that’s why my chromecast has been crashing with YouTube (SmartTube) the past 1-2 days?~~

I should probably have read the article more carefully and seen that the bug is irrelevant to SmartTube, since its a web ui interface bug and not a video playback interface bug

It’s an interface bug though. SmartTube uses its own interface and why would it even be affected by the YouTube web interface?
