Hi @supechicken,

Thank you so much for sharing this! It's almost perfect for HTPC frontend.

One thing that I noticed is that the youtube app does not allow adjusting playback speed. Besides, not sure if it is related, but the max video quality is limited to 1080p.

Best,

Sorry for the late reply!

I tried installing the TV app on my phone and I am getting the same result. (so it is probably a limitation from Google)

You might try spoofing the device model to a certificated Android TV Box to "trick" the Youtube app, like this:
