Description

# Enables youtube.com/tv# 1) Install plugin 2) Go to youtube.com/tv 3) Settings cog > Link with TV code 4) Open the YouTube app on your mobile device 5) Press your picture in the top right 6) Settings > Watch on TV > Enter TV code The video will automatically be set to the highest quality. Press F11 when a video is playing to make it full-screen. Enjoy :) Note - there are some videos that YouTube will not allow high quality when using youtube.com/tv, I can not find a solution. #Change Log# v0.9 October 2024 - A fix to help improve video quality using the best available v0.8 July 2024 - Rewritten due to Chrome forcing an update. v0.6 April 2021 - Allowed F11 to work for full screen. v0.5 March 2021 - Videos will now start on the highest quality YouTube has.

I don't know how to report issues, so I'm leaving a review I guess? The extension stopped working today. Youtube TV videos only play for a few seconds then I get a big QR code saying an error has occurred. Nothing I try to do (Including trying other devices) is fixing it - this might be due to either a Chrome or Youtube update? I have used this extension/Youtube TV on my laptop every single night for years and it has become very ingrained into my routine so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Why does this plugin needs access to all website, why not restrict it just to youtube domains?

Doesn't work at all. Youtube.com/tv immediately redirects to desktop version. Fix this garbage or take it down.

Followed all instructions. Videos start in 720p, no higher quality options are available.

Doesn't work anymore due to Youtube updating their website. Redirects you to a screen saying "You are being directed to youtube.com. For a better experience, check your device's app store for the official YouTube app."

Very confusing. I can't tell if this app is for YouTube or YouTube TV. If it's for YouTube TV, it doesn't work. Please make less confusing documentation.

This extension is great and does everything it's supposed to, until it just doesn't. If you are having issues with the video playback just showing "An Error has Occurred" after a few seconds into every single video, there are hundreds of other people having the same issue, and if you aren't having that issue, you will be very soon. Edit, If you wish to continue using YoutubeTV you should look into marcosrg9's open source Youtube TV app. See here https://github.com/marcosrg9/YouTubeTV

It works, but the highest quality available is 720p. Can you make it simulate a better TV?

it allowed me to boot into youtube's tv mode, but whenever I try to play a video it asks me to sign in (or use a guest account), so I use the guest account and it flickers from starting the video, and then back to sign in. I choose a user, it repeats, etc. a good start. any suggestions?

Even on the desktop version it changes it to the highest video quality.

It works, but max quality only goes up to 720p no matter what I do, and 60fps videos don't work.

Hey thanks for this, however is there any way for it to work at 21:9 on an ultrawide monitor? Only displaying as 16:9 for me and am getting horizontal and vertical black bars on videos.

I sadly am not able to use Fullscreen Mode, nothing works, pressing F11 does nothing, pressing F11 on another tab and using Crtl + Shift + Tab, it just skips the tab... sadly not able to use it the wanted way but its still good that you could still access it even without Fullscreen
