Was watching YouTube with the kids this morning on our handy dandy SmArt Tv. The video was stuttering and the UI was herky jerky.

“Maybe I just need to reset it” I thought.

Reset the SmArt tV app hub thingy and now the YouTube app is gone. It had expired. Samsung and Google were no longer friends.

There are other ways to watch YouTube on the TV, they’re just clunky and require an extra device, switching inputs, and other techno voodoo

The tv app was uninspiring but it got the job done. I could use the remote to turn on some video the kids wanted to watch and be done with it. Now I’ll probably need to buy some dumb dedicated YouTube dongle or something. I think my cable box has YouTube.

There’s still beauty in this world.

I’ve got two helper WordPress functions to maybe sideload URLs to the media library.

Helpful for content migrations you need to run multiple times but don’t want to have duplicate downloads. Enjoy.
