YouTube Discontinuing 3rd-Generation Apple TV App, AirPlay Still Available

[Bodhitree]

I just bought a 3rd Gen ATV A1469 for 9.99 at Goodwill. I never had a ATV before so I hope its worth it. lol

If you just want a box to attach to hdmi and let you watch movies from Apple TV+ and iTunes it’s ok, but that’s about all it’s good for. A lot of the third parties like MLB have stopped supporting it.

It still allows airplay from most sources too, except for Apple’s own Fitness+. For only $9.99 it isn’t that bad. The newer ones cost at least 10 times that.

Probably can stil use it for podcasts and apple music too

The ATV is one Apple product I had never invested in, but for 10$ I figured why not..

Yet the never-updated YouTube app on my 2016 Fire Stick still works (and even still calls Premium YouTube as YouTube Red!)

Heck, the YouTube app on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is from Android 2.3 and works. It doesn't load comments and some of the UI is broken but it will play videos!

The original Android phone, the HTC Dream, can still launch YouTube via the in-built web browser!

Glad I gave up my ATVs long ago. I'm not going to be forced to buy new hardware just to watch the many movies on my Play Movies account (which depends on YouTube on devices that don't support the Movies Google App)
