YouTube for Android TV v2.0 review

For display  "nerd statistics" :

1. Start the video
2. Switch OFF the mouse. (That's why I could not get it working!)
3. Press the central OK button
4. Use the 'left arrow' key to select 'more options', press OK
5. The 'stats for nerds' icon is on the last on the right, press OK

About  Search function  and crash

Disable  access to microphone, so it will not crash.


Or you can install Google Now from Play Store to fix it, HiMedia FW :

• 1.0.3-2.0.3 install Google Search, CFW 1.0.3-2.0.3 already installed.
• Don't install Google Search on HiMedia FW/CFW 2.0.4., Disable  access to microphone

"Search function NOT WORK" ---> If you run any HiMedia FW from 1.0.3-2.0.3 install Google Search, CFW 1.0.3-2.0.3 already installed.

Code: [Select]

Don't install Google Search on HiMedia FW/CFW 2.0.4 will get more problems that benefit.
- workaround don't allow it to do voice search voice(Microphone permissions)

Enjoy 1440p/2160p streaming until Google will not block again.

I tested it right now. I like it better than the old version. Too bad I do not have a microphone connected to my Q10 Pro. I tested an 2.0 version, but that was only x86. Nice touch from Google. My TV is only 1080p, but I was able to play 4K videos with Youtube and see the stats to prove it.

Is it working on Q10 Pro? Because I tried installing it and the installer said it is not compatible with it.

I've installed 'YouTube for Android 2.00.17' on a Q10 running Official FW2.04 & Android 7.0 today and get no problems. The 'Search' function works perfectly. I've just been watching some of YouTube's amazing 4K videos!

It crashes if you allow it microphone permission and do a search.

As long as you don't allow it to do voice search it works.

I edited my post. I installed an older version yesterday when there was no arm version. This one works perfectly.

app works on my braviatv perfectly so far.

even voice search worked this instant.

but statistics always say 2560x1440p
So once again google is cheating?

[DancesWithChickens]

I installed it and its awful.
Crashes every time i hit the home button, navigation is sluggish and the subscriptions consist of max 3 huge symbols at once
- so if you want to navigate to a specific subscribed channel, you have to hold right for ages.


does anyone have a link for the previous version? 

edit: nvm, found it.

[tmihai20]

Some of the icons are larger now, but I got tired of the old app. Since this is the app that all smart TVs will have, I want it on my TV box  too. I think it looks better and it is better suited for larger screens (mine is a 42 inches TV). It is a shame I cannot choose quality anymore (I think I was able to do it with the old version). I expect improvements in the future.

It crashes if you allow it microphone permission and do a search.

That explains it. I don't talk to my tv  !

...  and see the stats to prove it.

Do you mean the stats like 'looun' has in his images? How do you do that?? I would like to check what resolution I'm getting.

It's an option in the Youtube app. The setting location is slightly different for the different Youtube apps, but basically: Settings - Stats for nerds - Enable.

That option does not appear to be in the new version of YouTube???

This one works perfectly.

Can you check if the "Stats for nerds" option is available in the new version?
