## 安裝方法
- 下載最新穩定版本的apk檔案：
https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext/releases/download/latest/smarttube_stable.apk

- 在Chromecast with Google TV上，默認情況下禁止安裝應用程式，因此需要額外的步驟：
- 啟用開發人員選項：在你的Chromecast上，打開側邊選單，進入「設定」 > 「系統」 > 「關於」。滾動到Android TV OS版本部分，並反覆點擊。將會出現一條訊息，解釋你離成為一名開發人員還有幾步。繼續點擊直到觸發它。
- 啟用USB偵錯模式

## installation
- Download latest stable release apk file:
https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext/releases/download/latest/smarttube_stable.apk

- On Chromecast with Google TV, installation of apps is blocked by default, so an extra step is required:
- Enable Developer Options: On your Chromecast, open the side menu and go to Settings > System > About. Scroll down to the Android TV OS build section and click that repeatedly. A toast message will appear, explaining that you are a few steps away from being a developer. Continue clicking until you trigger it.
- Enable USB debugging
