I have a Raspberry Pi 3, running Kodi/OSMC as my media center, and plugged to the main TV screen. It addition to watch movies/videos stored on a local NAS, I also use it to comfortably watch all my subscribed Youtube channels via an add-on. |

Can you go to the play store and try downloading some other browser? Also, have you tried using Youtube app directly (as opposed to browser)? --- End quote --- From memory (which it severely lacks by the way) it ran an LG webOS Linux based thing and you could only install specific LG applications which required an online account or registration, at the time LG were suspected of monitoring users viewing and online activity so I never signed up. A link to the LG spying on users story. http://doctorbeet.blogspot.com/2013/11/lg-smart-tvs-logging-usb-filenames-and.html --- End quote --- The Youtube app from LGs store is what I use. So far it hasn't stopped working. |

If you say it about youtube, it's completely uninformed BS claim. --- End quote --- Youtube often likes to default to VP9 which is not supported by the Raspberry Pi GPU, but if you force H.264 for streaming or downloading, it works just fine. https://github.com/kloshar4o/omxYouTube There's probably some embedded board that's better for Youtube while not costing very much more than a Raspberry Pi, the main disadvantage is less documentation. --- Quote from: dunkemhigh on May 20, 2020, 12:29:40 pm ---Wait - your ideal ..ahem.. 'bedtime' viewing is a Dave video? The TV could the least of your problems ^-^ --- End quote --- There's a lot of controversy regarding the health effects of watching TV just before bedtime, seemingly centered on "blue light". Some later studies indicate that overall brightness is more important than just the blue light. I didn't see anything regarding watching just before bedtime, it's possible the bedroom doubles as a home theater. Makes sense considering reducing stray light and noise is often a goal for both. |
