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 skip refusing to skip when the queue was empty
  • Fixed clients resolving their own videos instead of following the host

[0.2.7] - 2025-11-23

Changed

  • Republished with the final client TV state sync changes (0.2.6 was packaged from a build made before them)

[0.2.6] - 2025-11-23

Changed

  • Fixed bug where video played in a loop after ending

[0.2.5] - 2025-11-23

Changed

[0.2.4] - 2025-11-23

Changed

[0.2.3] - 2025-11-23

Changed

  • Renamed full project to YoutubeOnTV
  • Because of the rename, it could be that the mod needs to be reinstalled. If that is the case, please delete the mod and download it again.
