YouTube for Android TV now shows when a video has Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio but the button is buggy

by latinriky78

When you press the button it switches back to stereo PCM (I guess it switches to multichannel PCM on the Shield) but pressing the button again doesn't switch to DD+ anymore.

Noticed it yesterday. Things to keep in mind here:

  • When a video has 5.1 audio, it will play in 5.1 audio & the button will indicate it.
  • Yes, pressing the button again doesn't switch back to 5.1 audio. You have to go back & play the video from the beginning to get 5.1.
  • For videos with 5.1 audio, the button shows up, but the "playback speed" button disappears.
