Have you tried using KDE Connect or a similar app?

Not sure I understand how KDE Connect helps pair SmartTube running on Android TV with NewPipe running on my phone. SmartTube can pair with the stock YouTube app on the phone. I'm proposing there should be a way to pair SmartTube with NewPipe also so that one can cast from NP to ST, I'm not looking for alternate solutions to send URLs between devices.

This is what you asked for. I gave a solution for it. Try it and see.

I think there are also other ways to do it, using something like BubbleUPnP or PlainUPnP, Yatse/Kore, etc.

I'm looking for a direct integration without adding more apps (and issues).

[opusforlife2]

Yes, but you could be a dear and help test this for all the other people who might want something similar and would be happy with a compromise solution.

@opusforlife2 This attitude is very unhelpful and the suggestion is not related to the issue. please stop.

I don't see what's harmful about helping out the community. But your wish, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
