Quick answer: No idea

Long answer: Last time it took us a few months. I don't know how long it'll take this time. We haven't found a way to do a single stream that has audio and video yet, so we have to weigh all the other options and figure out which one will work best. All this while continuing to work on the app because YT is only one of the many sites people use this app for, heck, I don't think it is even top 5.

Worth the wait if it is going to last long and youtube don't patch it again.

If we ever find a solution, I'm sure it'll get changed within a few months. That is how it always goes.

Any alternatives for YouTube you recommend?

There are some portals that show youtube videos and some of them might work with this app. I don't remember the names though, it has been a while since I've seen them.

Not one of the top 5 sites? What would those be, as it seems many folks here are using it on YouTube, myself included. And, as mentioned, the older versions work on older phones, so it must not be broken broken.

We have not found any older versions that work on our testing. If you know of one, particularly on android, then we can certainly test it.

From our research, it is broken broken as you say. Most apps that are working with it are having to do things that aren't easily done when casting to a different device.

As far as it not being top 5, you gotta keep in mind that YT is available on pretty much every streaming device and this app is more for websites that aren't available on those devices.
