Yes I use newpipe on a Nvidia shield as my primary youtube client. There are at least 3 of us who open tickets as issues come up for Android TV.
It's not the most polished experience, but as of 0.19.5 it's functional. It rarely pulls videos above 1080p quality for some reason, but if I have to choose between 4k content on the youtube client and 1080p with my privacy, and without advertisements that's an easy choice for me to make.
- drewg123 6y agoInteresting. I installed it, and I have no problem getting 4K videos. Playback seems fine. I can't figure out how to make it do a 10s skip forward / backward that you do on phone/tablet by tapping on the left or right side of the screen. I tried all the buttons on the shield's game controller after not being able to skip on my remote. I can change the focus to the timeline, and skip that way, but its not as nice as a 10s skip.
- nonplus 6y agoI think it's mostly the subscriptions I have/the content happens to be 1080p. Skipping ahead/forward works out of the box on my harmony remote, long press on the <- or -> button. I'm not sure what it would be on the default shield remote (mine is broken).
