FireTV Youtube App on Android TV not supporting 4k?

by 7dLKiwi

Hey everyone, I recently got a Sony TV running Android TV. On my old TV I was using a Fire TV Stick because its native Apps sucked. What immediately bothered me about the Android TV version of Youtube is the lack of multiple Account support. The App is literally the same as on Fire TV just that it won't allow adding brand accounts for easy switching.

So I installed the Fire TV version of Youtube on my Sony and it works perfectly fine, including multiple account support BUT it won't go above 1080p. When I first start watching a video, it'll run at 360p and as soon as I click on 4k, any option above 1080p disappears from the list and 1080p is the max i'll get.

I know this is rather complicated stuff but maybe someone ran into the same issue and found a solution? Then I could get rid of my Fire TV stick and be happy.

Thanks in advance

Android TV YouTube does support multiple accounts. It just doesn't have a switch account button. Just log out and log back in with your other account.
