Youtube Remote for Youtube Leanback

Some time ago, Habrakhabr already wrote about the Youtube Leanback service. Today I discovered an Android app that turns your phone into a Youtube Leanback remote control. Although the application appeared about a month ago, the news about it did not seem to appear here, so I decided to share it. Immediately, immediately, a link to the program, well, the details under the habrakat.




In a nutshell to explain what Youtube Leanback is, I’ll just quote the author of the last topic about this service:

In short, Leanback is a new way to use YouTube on the big screen. <...> When you go to youtube.com/leanback, the video starts playing instantly, always presented in full screen and HD (if available), and you You can easily switch between the rollers using only the arrow keys on the keyboard.

')
Now, by downloading the application to your phone, and going to your TV \ widescreen display at youtube.com/leanback and synchronizing the application and service, you can literally lean back in your seat \ sofa (lean back) and enjoy the remote control YouTube.

In general, it works surprisingly well. On the fast internet. There are no delays in the management. Just like a real remote control. On a slow Internet connection / disconnection slows down, but control is still without delays.
In the application, you can search, view recommended, favorites, as well as turn any search into a stream \ tab. The program itself is organized as a set of tabs \ tabs, the leftmost one is your current queue, your searches, favorites and so on go on.
What is annoying, you can not go to the profile or video list of a specific user, you can only search for it, and view the found video. Thus, there will be not only a video of Pupkin’s user, but also a video, as I understand it, of Pupkin’s user’s PRO, uploaded by someone else. Well, I don’t like it at all, and I would really like to see the playlists of certain users. For example, the well-known kirillrost puts a fresh KVN in the form of a playlist, which automatically plays in YouTube, but here I need to find all the videos from this sheet, add and sort it in order. The flaw, in my opinion, is significant.

Well, in general, of course. very nice to play with the new functionality.
