My setup for YouTube on the deck was adding my browser as a non-steam game and letting it open youtube.com/tv in kiosk mode. Worked great for a long time. Today it started giving me a message like "check your device's app store for the official app" and redirected me to default YouTube.

Anyone else got this problem? Any solutions?

I found the problem, apparently something in Firefox broke and disabled all my plugins because they can't be verified, including "YouTube for TV". Can't even install new plugins right now and sometimes having Firefox open just randomly crashes my steamdeck.

In addition to fixing Firefox, you may need to change the URL to tv.youtube.com

I don't have YouTube TV anymore, but YouTube.com/tv now redirects me to standard YouTube, while tv.youtube.com takes me to the TV web app.

Got "It looks like you're outside of the United States. YouTube TV is only available in the US." after logging in. Didn't know the US had their own version :D

Huh yeah that's weird, I didn't know that either.
