Nvidia Shield TV YouTube 4k HDR

Does the YouTube app support 4k HDR on the Nvidia shield tv 2017? Cos I can't get it to work...

I've gone through 4 devides/tvs, and none of them support Youtube HDR. Youtube's problem, IMO.

No. YouTube HDR requires hardware support for the VP9v2 codec, which the Tegra X1 inside the Shield TV does not have. It's just another reason I am looking to get rid of my Shield TV now that I have a 4k HDR TV. This device is fine for 1080p streaming, but the shortcomings add up quick when connected to a 4k panel.
