[antijoke]

Logged in on the TV and then scanned the QR code and it gave a me a price of £12.99 so I just signed up using that lol, cba with all the hassle nowadays, guess Google won

so with premium do you get a lot more 1080 material served up rather than 720 ?
recently got a new laptop and at least for both youtube(Ublocko) and skygo those produce a better quality picture on the panasonic/4k tv if you let it do the upscaling,
and tell the laptop that the external/hdmi tv is only 720,
maybe native youtube app on the tv would produce a better picture, albeit with adds.

(I need to survey some of the content I see regularly with get-yt , and see if they have 1080 streams available for premium users, even though they don't have 4K)

99% of everything I watch is 4K.

hmmh ... so I looked at the youtube video formats (stats for nerds etc) I can get non-premium using full screen on a 1080 laptop on this video

251 webm audio only 2 | 8.70MiB 144k https | audio only opus 144k 48k medium, webm_dash
+
397 mp4 854x480 25 | 11.41MiB 189k https | av01.0.04M.08 189k video only 480p, mp4_dash firefox ublocko win 11
398 mp4 1280x720 25 | 20.56MiB 341k https | av01.0.05M.08 341k video only 720p, mp4_dash firefox ublocko win7

the good stuff with premium sub would be

400 mp4 2560x1440 25 | 165.27MiB 2741k https | av01.0.12M.08 2741k video only 1440p, mp4_dash

I've been just using Opera on android (I'm aware I should look in to other browsers as there's China data concerns) and it's great. Some fun and games with playing shorts (thank god, actually) but apart from that it's good. Background play works fine, and I'm sure I've managed to accidentally get PIP to work at some point, but I can't repeat it.
