Fire TV 4K microphone access not working #276

Using the latest, stable build of SmartYouTube TV on my brand new Firestick 4K. Got it installed but ran into two problems:

1) When using the 'main' 1080p launcher, it comes up to the screen to sign in but I can't go down to 'skip'. Using the ALT launcher, I can select skip.

2) This is the bigger problem. When I try to search YouTube videos by voice, I clicked on the button to allow SmartYouTube TV microphone access but it isn't working.

I can verify this issue.

Workaround: go to the text box and use the Alexa Keyboard

I can also verify this issue. Selecting microphone icon doesn't do any action. Text search is working using on screen keyboard. Also when searching with MIC key on remote will not show any results from Smart YouTube. Only allow passing search to official YouTube app on Fire TV.

+1. Having the same issue as well. Voice search is a must have feature.
