Not able to play 360 deg videos in YouTube app - Honor View 20 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I bought the honor view 20 knowing that it have the cool features and sensors (gyroscope and accelerometer) required for VR experience. But lately I discovered that it cannot play 360 deg videos in YouTube app. It's otherwise able to render 360 deg view in VR apps and games able see demo in card board app but in YouTube, the videos appears to be flattened. Heck I can even play the 360 deg videos from facebook. But not here. Can anybody help me out on this?

[Q] Watching "purchased" Youtube content on FireTV?

Many of our Disney Blurays come with a code to make them playable via the Disney Movies Anywhere app. It makes them show up in iTunes and Google Play Movies. I just noticed they also show under "purchases" in YouTube.
When I launch the YouTube app on the Fire TV, they show up under Purchases, but when I try to play them, I just get a spinning circle with play controls under it on the screen, and they never start.
Its not just the Disney ones. LOTR, Big, and Elf which were all "freebies" in the Google Play store at one time, are also listed under my purchases in YouTube but do the same when trying to play them.
Should I be able to play them?
Oh, and regular YouTube videos play fine.
I'm having the same exact problem right now with my Fire TV stick. Would Google be blocking Amazon devices from playing their paid content? Would appreciate any ideas or solutions!

I'm also having the same issue. I just recently purchased the Fire TV box and didn't even realize that Play videos were available on YouTube until today. They simply won't play though, just an eternal progress circle........
My Youtube app must have updated. It no longer lists "Purchased" as a category from the menu.

Play Movie / TV store on Android TV

Hello all
I own a few Movies and TV shows that I bought on the Google Play Store.
On my Android mobile & iPad tablet I'm able to download the movies and TV for offline viewing in the Google Play App.
However on the nvidia shield TV Play movie/TV app I can't see the option to download it anywhere? Just streams it.
Am I just completely missing the download option somewhere or is it disabled for some reason?
I have the pro 500gb model and I want to put about 100GB of downloaded KIDS programs on it for the wee one.
Thanks James

Hi.. You can watch them in youtube... In purchases section

4K Content?

I know with android 6.0 google added an official API for apps to read and directly access 4K resolutions on devices like the Z5P that pretend to have 1080p displays. Does anything actually use that and run in 4K? YouTube, Netflix, games? Looking to pick this guy up but if I can’t use any 4K content it’s a hard sell (I know I can force always on 4K but I would rather not).

Youtube stuck at 720p FireTv Stick (Tank)

Hi, I realized that YouTube videos in many cases do not upload of 720p, particularly those that are at [email protected]
I already tried to sideload the youtube app from android tv and it works perfect all videos are at 1080p, except that it is not possible to login due to the lack of google services
the other alternative was to use smart youtube tv app, which also works but has some bugs and crashes especially in live broadcasts
Has anyone managed to fix this? in the stock app or log in on youtube tv through google account?
thanks for the help!
