I was underwhelmed by ATV2's YouTube.

For starters, you only get a partial list of your subscriptions.
You don't get automatically logged onto your account, you have to scroll down and select it.:rolleyes:
And the quality sucks! it only displays content at the lowest resolution regardless if the content is HD.

The XBMC YouTube displays ALL of your subscriptions
It logs you into your account as soon as you click on it
And most importantly, plays HD content.

One can select to display 1080 or 720, but this option is missing under ATV's native YouTube implementation, which is a joke.

Unless there's a setting that I missed, if so then the joke's on me... I lose.
 
I think 4.3 made the YouTube channel worse. I am hoping it was just a fluke, but last night I noticed that videos under my subscriptions were not listed in date descending order. I actually cannot tell if there is any order, it just seems random. Is this happening to anyone else?

I keep hoping they will up the 25 user subscription limit, and that still hasn't happened. If this additional issue is real, it is making this app that much more unusable.
