Youtube app requires me to change account signed into Google TV?

by MEfficiency

Hello all, it seems like this started occurring a month or so ago. I use "Account 1" for my main google TV account. I also use "Account 2" for my Youtube account.

When I opened the Youtube app, in the past it would just automatically put me in "Account 2," like I wanted.

Now, it puts me into "Account 1," when I open Youtube, and when I want to change accounts, it opens the google TV account switcher, instead of the youtube one, and makes me change the ENTIRE TV's account to "Account 2."

This creates significant annoyance because I now have to make 6 different clicks every time I open youtube, and I have to deal with the account switcher every time I turn on my TV. Any suggestions for how to fix? I have the accounts separated for a reason.

I am running Google TV on a TCL - 65" Class 5-Series (model Model:65S546)

Yes, Google recently made this "annoyance" official around a month ago.

You need to add the second account to Google TV...to use it in YouTube.

That's why I always use an external source cuz eventually apps on Smart TVs will no longer be able to be updated due to the hardware not being upgraded I use an Nvidia shield that's the expensive route or you can get even a cheap fire stick and use YouTube on that Yes it's an additional toy to use but it's a lot better than clicking your brains out like you're having to do now and I also use smart tube on my Nvidia shield which is YouTube on steroids if you will
