CHANGELOG
Changelog
[0.2.10] - 2026-08-27
Changed
- Fixed videos playing with picture but no sound. YouTube is retiring the pre-muxed formats the mod relied on, and yt-dlp was quietly falling back to a video-only stream. When no combined format exists the TV now plays the matching audio stream alongside the video.
- Video is now requested as H.264 instead of whatever codec ranked best, since Unity cannot be relied on to decode AV1.
- Fixed the fallback video not being found when the plugin folder is not named exactly "YoutubeOnTV" (r2modman installs it as "<Author>-YoutubeOnTV")
[0.2.8] - 2026-08-23
Changed
- Fixed the queue not advancing to the next video automatically
- Videos are now removed from the queue when they start playing
- Fixed
tv skiprefusing to skip when the queue was empty - Fixed clients resolving their own videos instead of following the host
