Google Assistant Commands won't play youtube videos anymore

by subvisser

I had some Google Assistant routines set up for playing specific YouTube videos on my SHIELD TV. However, I just noticed with my CC w/ Google TV they aren't working. Instead of playing the video, it just shows YouTube search results.

I've tried this with both "Watch [video title] on YouTube on TV" and "Play [video title] on YouTube on TV." Again, this used to work perfectly fine. Not sure what changed.

In my experience, Google Assistant was great when it debuted, but has slowly gotten dumber and dumber. It’s like they put the AI on autopilot and forgot about it. Now it does nothing right.

Hey lol 1 year late but did you ever figure out a command to get the assistant to play the first video after giving the search results on YouTube?
