Stream quality only 240p

by nodeb7

Hi,

I have Android TV 6.0.1 on my TCL TV. Youtube app version: 1.3.11. When watching live streams, quality is always set to 240p, even if I change it to 1080p. Do you have similar problem? My internet connection is fine, I can watch 4k videos or full hd streams on twitch.

As a workaround I'm using KODI with Youtube add-on, stream quality is good.

Is that Android TV or regular Android?

This is a bug with the current Android TV YouTube app.

A lot of live streams seems to be stuck on a super low quality and you can't change it. It doesn't seem to effect 100% of live videos though for some reason.

It's been like this for quite a while now. You'd think Google could put out a fix, but they don't really seem to care.

I remember talking about this on Reddit a while back ( found the thread ).
That was 8 months ago. People have submitted bug reports, but there is still no fix.
