Help! I'm not sure if requests for help are allowed. If not, I apologise and please let me know where to ask this. Since a day or two, my Google TV is missing about 90% of the preview thumbnails. Only the "continue watching" section and the YouTube links is still showing them. Deleting various caches didn't solve it and I have no idea what to do next. Preferably I don't want to factory reset due to various settings and logins I not sure I'm able to restore. Also I should mention that I side-loaded SmartTube and about the same time the issue started occurring. Not sure if related though. Help would be much appreciated.

Do you have any kind of adblocker installed (perhaps on your router)? Youtube is "going to war" against adblockers.

Nope, no adblocker. Some other stuff like FX File Explorer and an app called Send Files To TV in order to get the SmartTube apk to the Chromecast. But they both seem legit or not?

Even factory resetting didn't solve the problem! I'm lost...
