Android TV YouTube low quality

by Starkenstein29

Hello guys! I've recently bought a smart TV that has Android TV! It's a Tesla 43S605BFS . The problem is that the youtube app lowers the quality. I have noticed that I can watch videos on my PC at 1080p but when i watch the video on my TV, the max quality i can select is 720p. The same goes with 4k videos. If a video is originally 4k, on my TV i can only go to 1080p. It lower the quality by 1 unit.

Does anyone have the same problem? It's my TV that is at fault? Is there a way i can solve this or is this a google problem? Thank you

Try a different YouTube app, this one will allow you to force video quality: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
