Unable to cast uYou+ to AppleTV #525
Description
Hi,
I usually select videos from uYou+ and cast them directly to my Apple TV, which allows me to watch YouTube ad-free and automatically skip sponsors.
However, as of yesterday, this no longer works. Instead, I see a “🚫” symbol where the playback timer normally appears.
To troubleshoot, I upgraded my Apple TV to iOS 26, but the issue persisted. I then downgraded all four of my iPhone and iPad devices to iOS 18.6.2, performed factory resets, and tested using the official YouTube app, but I continue to encounter the same “🚫” symbol.
I’ve noticed that only a very small number of videos (around 5%) cast successfully, while the remaining 95% fail. The working ones appear to be random and are not tied to any specific category.
Screen mirroring isn’t a workaround either, since opening the YouTube app on the mirrored device causes it to switch back to casting directly from the app.
I've been using YouTube v19.06.2 + uYou v3.0.3 since it was released in February 2024. I then tried to use the YouTube v19.49.7 + uYou v3.0.4 that was released in March 2025, but it also didn't work
Could this issue be related to uYou+, or is it likely a change or a bug on YouTube’s side? Are there any A/B settings or adjustments that might resolve it?
Thank you for your support,
