Comments about YouTube for Android TV Android Version

I cannot say I am fan of the new design language when bringing up the seek bar on Chromecast with Google TV. Before the latest update, it was a bit more aesthetic and did not obstruct the screen as much when you brought up the seek bar since it was semi-transparent. However, when you bring up the seek bar now, it has this terrible opaque black backing that obstructs about two fifths (2/5) of the video. ---- My theory is that this was done for performance reasons as I notice when you pause, there's no more animation for the pause like there was before (though the symbols are misaligned when you pause). I can understand not doing animations for the sake of speeding the app up, but why remove the transparency? When a user brings up the seek bar, it is not like they're totally disinterested in the video. Being able to see bits of the video underneath is helpful.

The app crashes if you want to watch a live stream and an add comes on. Watching or skipping the add always causes a crash, starting the app again and go to the live stream will play without showing the add first (thus not crashing). After a while the icons will be replaced by a square with a cross (􏿾). For the rest very happy with this app.

The most recurrent issue with this application is that certain channels will not play at all (seemingly from being high fidelity uploads) unless the video ages out to about two weeks old. This has been an issue for well over a year by now. On top of that, regardless of the Android TV device, this application always is flagged as being no longer supported, which seems absolutely baffling.
