YouTube App + Xbox One Media Remote

It's not just a lack of support for the Xbox One Media Remote. I have a Logitech Harmony Remote that works with the Xbox One and it also doesn't work with the YouTube App. The only device that seems to work with the YouTube app is the controller. It's a
shame since the Xbox One Media Remote works really well in other apps like Twitch,Crackle and Machinama.

Please add support for the Xbox One Media Remote on YouTube App!

The media remote is not currently compatible with every app. As stated on its official support page, not every 3rd party app currently supports it. It sounds like YouTube is one of them. You'll have to wait on an update to the YouTube app to support remote
compatibility.

you are right .. it seems the xbox youtube app isnt quite compatible with the xbox one media remote

*Cough... microsoft please add this issue to your fix list

I notice YouTube had a update a few days ago and after the update the media remote no longer controlled the screen. I also prefer to use the media remote for all functions except gaming. I am highly disappointed that the YouTube app can not be controlled
by the media controller. I am trying to use the Xbox one as a entertainment center and part time gaming and this is one more strike against the entertainment function, In entertainment mode I REFUSE to use the huge odd shaped game controller.
