Vanced alternative for an ancient phone with JB Android 4.2.2?

I haven't tried SkyTube but looking at their GitHub it seems the video player it relies on is the cause of the issue and is also needing minimum 5.0: https://github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube/issues/1062
Can anyone fix the old youtube app?

Legacy requires Android 4.0 minimum, it was branched out to Legacy due to crashes and development burden getting the main one to work properly. You can find it here.
Missing device(s) to "Cast to"

Interesting. I can recommend Skytube extra for casting without ads. Smarttubenext seems to be another good option if you have the newest chromecast with google tv or an android tv box (which I don't)

• YouTube: Most people suggests NewPipe, however I don't like UI/UX of NewPipe (if this is an issue for you too*), I suggest LibreTube or SongTube
Why people aren't talking about SongTube? It's open-source and got one of the best looking UI
