And extra controls appear when pausing. I get that most of the time when you pause it’s because you are not watching, but it completely obscures the use case where you want to look at a still frame. Worst though is YouTube shorts where you can’t rewind

Oh wow, is this because I have YouTube premium? I absolutely loathe this feature, because 99% of the time I am pausing, it is because I want to read what text is on the screen. It gets completely obscured by the controls, and even the text that is visible is difficult to read because it has a darkened background. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

I also have YT premium. On desktop, I use firefox and the popout video feature. It is easily resizable and movable. Downside is that js-player controls still show on the webpage, not the popout. On ios, once paused, just tap anywhere on the video anywhere there isn't a widget. That hides all the video controls for me.

Edit: Also there are keyboard controls for going frame-by-frame, if you need that much control. Or there was last time I used it a long time ago.

the android youtube / music app is much better than any other audio / video app i have including spotify, netflix

Come on. The YouTube Music app blocks you from navigating to a different song at the same time as playing a track if it decides that the track is primarily aimed at under 18s (such as the theme from a retro cartoon). It's UI might charitably be described as a total catastrophe.

That is a COPPA compliance thing and is true on the regular YouTube app as well:

Would you mind explaining your position a little more? Are you saying that walled gardens keep evil away, or are you saying that they can hurt the user?

Maybe they’re just complaining that AMC is t making an app for Vision Pro.

Actually I think The Walking Dead is available via AppleTV so they’re already inside the walls.

"Google layoffs x percent of its employees". HN: Fckin Google! "Here is an option to support a platform you use without watching ads". HN: Go fck yourself!

Do you think Google pays their employees directly from Youtube ad revenue?

What do you think Google pays their employees with?

If you're into self-hosting there is https://github.com/iv-org/invidious which works great with https://github.com/yattee/yattee for macOS/iOS/tvOS. This combo is amazing, haven't looked back ever since I deployed it with docker. Hopefully Yattee will make a native visionOS app in the future.

Does this system provide the same level of content recommendations as the Youtube homepage? If so then I'll set it up tonight!

I suspect Google already doesn't like what you're doing. They chose to make their own app unavailable on the AVP even though it sounds like it would be trivial for them to do so. Whatever their reasons are, I doubt they're keen about a third party stepping in with an alternative.

There aren’t recommendations like youd see on the YouTube front page. There are “next video” recommendations like YouTube though

FYI, Vinegar is well worth a couple of bucks. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303... Install it, and delete the janky "native" app. Now Youtube is a webpage that does everything it does on a regular browser. PiP? Audio with the screen locked or in the background? Yes and yes.

I've been using vinegar forever(Orion browser supports PiP without extension by the way) But it's bizarre to me how bad the PiP experience on iOS is. When you press play on your bluetooth headset it will pause the video you're playing instead play whatever was on your Music app. If you lock your screen, it will stop playing the youtube video and then you have press play again on the lock screen to resume. Contrast th…

The first problem you describe (wanting to play both music and a video?) is just weird, and I’m glad the default pehavior doesn’t do that. Your second problem is jank intentionally introduced by YouTube.
