Hey folks,
I’ve been tinkering with webOS OSE on a spare device and I’m curious how others in the community are handling YouTube access right now.
I know the official YouTube TV app situation is… complicated outside of retail LG TVs, and on OSE we obviously don’t get the same app ecosystem. I’ve seen a few different approaches mentioned here and there — browser-based playback, third-party clients, casting from another device, even custom Electron-style wrappers.
For those of you actively running webOS OSE:
-
Are you using YouTube mainly through the browser, or did you find a more “app-like” solution?
-
How’s performance for you (UI responsiveness, dropped frames, high-res playback like 1080p/4K, VP9/AV1 support, etc.)?
-
Any issues with login, subscriptions, or DRM-protected streams?
-
If you went the casting route (Chromecast/DLNA/other), does it feel smooth enough for daily use?
I’m trying to figure out what setup gives the best balance between usability and stability without turning the system into a maintenance project every week 
Would love to hear what’s working (and what’s been a pain) for others.
