YouTube has dropped support for Android 5 (Lollipop) with v17.xx.xx. Google forced the ExoPlayer v2, which is highly experimental and unstable on unsupported devices. 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. Hence, it is preferable to use the original YouTube app or using the web version for any purchase.

Purchasing items in the non-root version of the app will not work as microG doesn't support it. That is why the advertisement is displayed. Instead, your phone acts like a remote controller for the YouTube app in your Chromecast/TV. YouTube 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. Vanced Manager will directly mounts vanced on top of Youtube in the /data/app directory, making it easier and faster than before. Important Notes for All Vanced Manager Users:
