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