Try ReVanced (link in post above yours)

Hello,
I know Vanced is discontinued but I reinstalled it on a Pixel 7 yesterday. I had to downgrade to version 16.02.35 to get the cast functionality. However, I am not able to play/pause the video on my Android TV using my TV remote control (but it works with the official YouTube app). I am pretty sure it used to work with Vanced too, but I don't have to my old phone to confirm that. Do you have any suggestion ?

Revanced and Revanced Extended have full cast functionality only with the root version as far as I know.
The same was the case in Vanced, only exception YouTube builds 16.02.35 and below. Vanced team stated that it's a microG related problem.
I found this and this issue on GitHub about casting and the need to patch microG for that.

The second way (settings - watch on TV) seems to work, but I don't own a smart TV and for Chromecast I found no way to get it working.

Thanks. My previous phone was rooted, that's probably why the cast functionality was better.
I will give Revanced a try anyway, probably coupled with SmartNextTube
The second way you proposed works, but it's not convenient. I need to enter a code provided by YouTube on my TV and I have to repeat the same steps everytime I relaunch the app.

Is anyone seeing this full page error now?

Clicking on update takes to an error page on Google Play Store (obviously because this isn't from Google Play Store).

I'm on version 15.43.32.

Update

Delete app data for YouTube Vanced solves the problem, but only temporarily. The message returns within a couple of hours if the app isn't running.

That is Google's warning screen.
Telling you that the version you have installed is EOL (End-Of-Life).

v15.43.32 is old. 🙃

The last version of Vanced was v17.03.38.
- Supports Android 6 and newer.
Home screen ads are now showing with Vanced v17.03.38.


See my reply in my module thread. I gave a link to my last module using the Vanced patched apk and how to install it.

My phone is not rooted.

I was using that version because it had a working cast feature and was very battery efficient, but cast is not too important for me anymore as I have a Premium subscription. I have updated to v17.03.38 now and still prefer Vanced on phone due to the swipe controls which are very convenient.

Not rooted here either.
I'm using revanced extended v18.04.35 which has working swipe controls etc. and cast works for me (but I suspect it depends on what you're casting to)

Vanced works very fine and I'll stick with it until v17.03.38 stops working. One of the reasons is because revanced has its own learning curve, so I'll wait until Vanced stops working. The other reason being Vanced works independently along with the official YouTube app. I think Revanced requires the official app to be disabled.

As with casting, I got the premium subscription because casting from Vanced would show ads on TV (Chromecast). I guess it is the same with Revanced too.

ReVanced non-root doesn't need official youtube to be disabled so you can have both installed.
The learning curve is minimal if you've used vanced.

---> YOUTUBE REVANCED <---
---> APK MIRROR <---

This is all you need to install Revanced on your rooted device. Download the latest version of Revanced manager and install. Once you install Revanced Manager open it and Grant SU permission, then click on patch and then select your YouTube or YouTube music app. There you will find the recommended app version. Use APKMirror to find the correct version number of your apks and download them to your device.

You will need to uninstall the updates for YouTube and YouTube music. Press and hold on the app icons and open app , top right hand corner you will see the three dots, click that and uninstall updates. Now you will install the versions you just downloaded.
After you have installed the downloaded versions of YouTube and YouTube music then you can begin to patch.

Once again open Revanced Manager and click patch and then select your YouTube or YouTube music app. Now you will see a list of patches you can go through and select the ones that you want. Make sure you include MicroG support. Now that you have selected the patches that you want go ahead and click patch and let it finish. Once it has finished patching your app you're going to click root install.

Now you can delete the shortcut of the original app in your app drawer and disable the original version of whichever app you patched. To disable the app you do the same thing press and hold, open app info and you will see a button to disable. YouTube music does not have a disabled button (at least not on my phone) so you can just uninstall the app completely. You don't have to but this is so you don't get them mixed up or so the operating system doesn't default open the YouTube app with a web link.

I can verify this does work on the OnePlus 11 on the latest firmware.

☺ Enjoy ad free YouTube, if you chose to block ads that is.

    ‼️Before asking or posting anything, please read the first and second posts.‼️

    Always check the official Vanced website or XDA thread when downloading. Other sites are fake, contain advertisements (possibly even malware), and have older versions.

    Vanced is a well-known modded version of the YouTube app with many features such as ad-blocking and background playback. Vanced also offers some extra features to enhance the user experience. The entire list is available below:

    Features:



    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

    Since YouTube v14.41.52, Google has moved to split APKs format. The Android package installer doesn't support Split apks yet, so we are now using Vanced manager for installing all vanced apps. The steps to use the vanced manager are below:
    Especially for MIUI, there's a separate guide that can be accessed using this link. For all other devices, please follow below:

    For Non-Root:
    1. Install Vanced Manager
    2. Open Vanced Manager and tap the blue arrow in the lower right corner.
    3. Begin installing Vanced microG. (Without which you won't be able to install Vanced (or Music Vanced) or use login)
    4. Then install Vanced (or Music Vanced), log in to your account and enjoy!
    For Root:
    1. Install Vanced Manager
    2. Open Vanced manager and tap on the "Magisk" icon to grant root permissions.​
    3. Once you are in, begin installing Vanced (or Music Vanced).​


    Important information:

    • We replaced our root installation with vanced manager, which directly mounts vanced on top of Youtube in the /data/app directory, making it easier and faster than before.
    • Vanced will not block ads while casting since when you use the casting feature, it doesn't send the video from your phone to the Chromecast/TV. Instead, your phone acts like a remote controller for the youtube app in your Chromecast/TV. That is why the advertisement is displayed.
    • Purchasing items in the non-root version of the app will not work as microG doesn't support it. Hence, it is preferable to use the original YouTube app or using the web version for any purchase.
    • If your videos are lagging or the application starts to crash while watching live videos, please enable VP9 codec from codec override present under vanced settings. Google forced the ExoPlayer v2, which is highly experimental and unstable on unsupported devices.
    • YouTube has dropped support for Android 5 (Lollipop) with v17.xx.xx. Hence, the minimum supported version is now Android 6 and above.


    Known bugs:

    • Swipe down gesture for refreshing home feed breaks randomly. It's an issue with litho that only Google can fix. There's nothing we can do to fix it. (Tap here to learn more)
    • As of v16.16.38, casting won't work due to an upstream microG bug. (Tap here to learn more)
    • On portrait/vertical videos, preferred quality options do not work.
    • Swipe controls triggers when swiping either upwards or downwards to scroll through description or in live chat when in landscape mode.
    • On new action bar layouts(server-sided feature), the new toggles won't work.
    • Info cards toggle is broken (Temp fix: Disable it through your Google account settings. This setting disables info cards everywhere.)
    • App crashes with java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError while playing some video outside of vanced.
    • Manual codec override is broken and very experimental.
    • Some users might face geographical ads on YouTube Shorts tab.
    • SponsorBlock segments at the end of videos in playlists causes playback on the next video to start where the previous one ended.

    BUG Reports:


    Steps to do before reporting a bug:
    1. Do a search and see if it has already been reported
    2. Check that the bug is actually a Vanced bug and doesn't happen in the original YouTube.
    Steps to do when reporting a bug:
    1. Make sure you are being enough descriptive of the problem.
    2. Take a logcat (Google search if you don't know how). Especially if the issue is a crash.
    3. Taking pictures of the problem doesn't hurt.
    4. If the report is vague (missing information), it will most likely just be ignored. If you are not going to show any effort in resolving the problem, why should I?

    1. Vanced exact version number (Do NOT say latest).
    2. Download link used to download Vanced.

At the time of writing this post apkmirror lacks apks for arm so you will have to wait a while until it has them and then we will be able to make arm root builds.
