alt Hacker NewsI’d be in the market for this, but didn’t get enough info to sign up.
My first questions were: - do I need a YouTube account? - do I need a premium YouTube account? - can I use it on my tv? - and more generally, how does it work? (Which should answer all above)
Current solution is: download YouTube videos my son is interested in to Plex, watch them on the tv (or iPad)
I also have YouTube premium, but barely use it.

KidScreen is a free web app: a parent creates a family, adds a child, and pastes the exact YouTube links they want on that child’s shelf. The child signs in once with separate child credentials. KidScreen does not require a YouTube or Premium account for ordinary public videos that allow embedding. A compatible TV browser may work, but KidScreen is not a native TV app and I have not tested every TV platform.
Same for me. I also download videos and put them on a USB stick plugged into the TV.
