However if I use my phone and cast to TV it works fine. Have any of you tried that?
That's because casting it uses a different player. Which should be the same used in Chromecast (Premium I supposed. It goes up to 4K. No HDR - again!! - though). I am not sure how that player gets (down) loaded/installed, but it's part of the Google Cast package. Actually, since I was testing some memory usage of the Amazon Video app and others... Here. This is the app name that gets used by the YouTube Google Cast player:
BRAVIA_ATV2:/ $ dumpsys -t 20 meminfo
Applications Memory Usage (in Kilobytes):
Uptime: 60918428 Realtime: 80705240
Total PSS by process:
133,033K: com.google.android.apps.mediashell:sandboxed_process0 (pid 27465)
Just for a comparison this is the one used by Plex Google Cast player, after cleaning up a a bit the apps in history:
BRAVIA_ATV2:/ $ dumpsys -t 20 meminfo
Applications Memory Usage (in Kilobytes):
Uptime: 61497786 Realtime: 81284598
Total PSS by process:
100,006K: dtv_svc (pid 1705)
85,359K: system (pid 1770)
79,197K: com.google.android.apps.mediashell:sandboxed_process4 (pid 6145)So basically they are the same, just witha different sub process number.
`OFF TOPIC - Please not the RAM usage: about 130MB for YouTube. All native apps have about that RAM footprint. All but the Amazon Video app which in my testing went up to 320MB and has always been above 280 MB after starting to play a video (1080p or UHD didn't matter). Which should explain many things.
