Request: Gamepad support about youtubetv HOT 4 OPEN

Hello.

It is possible to implement an interface between controller events and YouTube keystroke events.
However I don't have an xbox controller, but I can try to do some tests with my switch controllers.

I also recommend you to try this user agent of an Xbox One...

or this one for PlayStation 4:

Mozilla/5.0 (PlayStation; PlayStation 4/9.51) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 Safari/605.1.15

You can simulate the basic behavior of YouTube TV without installing the Node environment, for this I recommend the User-Agent Switcher extension.

Then navigate to the YouTube Leanback interface and test if the buttons on your controller work as expected.

Check that in the application version it explicitly states that the app has detected that the device is an Xbox One or PlayStation 4:

The leanback link bounces me to the regular youtube page, not tv..i guess it's not available everywhere. Also CTRL-F still isn't working. Maybe its possible to open in fullscreen option?

It's strange, I have configured the Xbox user agent and the Leanback interface loads without problems.
Are you sure you're loading the user agent correctly?

In the following video I show you how I do it:

Regarding what you tell me about the fullscreen bug, it was solved in the latest version (2.2.4), if you see that there is an unexpected behavior, please open another issue specifying the steps to reproduce the error and I will check it.

No, I mean that website redirects to the regular youtbube website from the tv one in countries/locations without Youtube TV, I guess. https://www.youtube.com/tv
