Description

PROBLEM: When I use YouTube TV extension and I play a 4k video it plays bugged because my mini PC is Celeron cpu based.

SOLUTION: I would like your extension to be compatible with YouTube TV

ALTERNATIVES: You could incorporate a function in your extension to enter a YouTube TV mode

CONTEXT: It is currently easier to control YouTube from your mobile phone than directly on the website.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the extension's YouTube TV handling and video codec or quality controls, then reproduce the bug with a 4K video on a Celeron-based mini PC; done should mean YouTube TV playback is compatible without the reported H264 issue.
