Youtube app being throttled on xbox one

Google has started using a different encoding format on YouTube. YouTube videos are ow VP9 encoded and not HEVC. Also, Google has been deliberately throttling videos on some devices, and I won't be surprised Xbox be one of those, based on the fact they
don't release their apps for Windows ecosystem.

I don't think this is a hardware problem but Google needs to update the YouTube app. When you downloaded the video to the USB it would still be VP9 encoded.

I'm not saying that all VP9 videos will not work, but it depends whether they were encoded properly and the amount of throttling being done by Google.

If the youtube videos are not encoded properly then why all 4K videos (inclued HDR videos) on my Smart TV Youtube app work perfectly fine ?

Can you please try a few recent 4k videos in your Xbox One X and tell me if they work fine to you ?

PPL dont even tell me if they work fine on their console or not , what a nightmare im having with this console ...

It has to with the latest 4K update that google added to YouTube app, and from what I've read at reddit and few other forums, Google is throttling YouTube bitrate on few devices and I won't be surprised Xbox would be one of the devices, as we've seen Google
tends to ignore Microsoft devices when it comes to releasing it's apps.

I've had no issues running Vp9 codec up to October last year . I also tried the running off the usb stick to see what would happen . I tried 2 videos , both 4k 60fps . The year old one played just fine , the new one , well , crapped out . I tried the media
player and thru Kodi app . My one year warranty was up in Dec , 2018 , so I'm screwed for warranty ...plus I sent them another report yesterday .

For me this issue is stopped after uninstalling youtube completely shutting off the console pulling the power for a bit and restarting. It only occurs when youtube is reinstalled. XB support advises it's an issue with YouTube and can only be resolved with
a future YouTube app update. For the time being I am removing the app from the Xbox One.
