CCwGTV Google TV Account Selector doesn't switch YouTube TV Account

Hi. There's a bug/design oversight on Chromecast w/ GTV where the Google TV Account Selector on startup or the home screen doesn't switch/sync the YouTube TV app account. It does sync YouTube TV in the "Continue Watching" section and also your DVR in the Library Tab. The Google TV Account Selector within the YouTube TV app settings works, but that's unnecessary extra steps and makes selecting DVR programs for the Google TV Library Tab unreliable. Thanks!

Hello Marcus_B,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the community. I understand your desire to use the account selector to switch your YouTube TV account. So I'll be more than happy to share information with you.

Currently, this feature is not available at this moment. However, we'd love to receive your feedback. We will carefully review requests for potential inclusion in future updates to improve your experience. 

 

Regards,

Daniel

Thanks for the reply.

So on a multi-account CCwGTV this is the current steps for watching YouTube TV DVR content.

  • Turn on TV & Chromecast 
  • Select profile in Google TV account selector 
  • Scroll right to "Library" tab
  • Select DVRed program which opens the program page in YT TV
  • Unfortunately someone else was watching YT TV beforehand, so it's their YT TV profile & my DVR library isn't available
  • Press back to get to YT TV Home/navigation screen 
  • Scroll right & open the YT TV app menu
  • Select "Switch account" & select profile again on Google TV account selector 
  • Scroll left to YT TV Library tab
  • Find DVRed program again & select
  • Select to watch latest recording or open program page

This is the intended behavior for watching YT TV DVR content?
