Curious to know if this update will fix the stuttering that occurs when streaming content from YouTube as well. Compared to streaming to the chrome cast, the internal YouTube app has a noticeable stutter.
Additionally, when the update is sent can you also include a link to the direct file? I had trouble updating from the servers last time and needed to try the update link multiple times.
Open-source applications are the future of our âandroid-boxesâ and I think that ppm is no exception to the rule.
SmartYouTube is a really good app !
I hope that Philips will find and implement other applications of this kind, as an alternative to the official applications, often too poorly optimized.
As a I donât have many android devices Iâd be curious to know: when the YouTube app is replaced does that also change the application that receives the hand off from my phone when selecting âcast to ppmâ or will that option require that SmartYoutube to be open and operating on the ppm. One of the nice thing about casting to the projector was being able to switch methods on the fly. Example being when you have guests over and people are sharing different content to the screen. Flipping between screen mirroring, casting, Netflix etc.
Hi! What you describe works just as you expect. SmartYouTubeTV supports linking with YouTube app on your phone via WiFi or via TV code. Once linked, thereâs no need to keep it open, you can use another app and still cast from your phone. After you disconnect, the previous app comes back. You can also mirror via AirPlay at the same time.
I was having issues with prime video app in 1.0.25 also stuttering. A factory reset improved both Kodi and prime video app performance. VLC was never affected, havenât tried any other apps today.
Overall, Itâs better than it was. I also see stuttering in the YouTube app. The Netflix app has greatly improved but still will hiccup a dozen or so times in a film. Colors are much better but like all projectors night scenes are tough to display like you are at the theatre.
