The announcement of the arrival of the Apple TV 4K was very positive since this range of product needed a facelift to compete in the market. The case is that with the new model of the company’s player Cupertino is allowed to enjoy the maximum video quality possible. But an exception was found: YouTube videos. We tell you the reason.
The case is that as it has been known the new model of Apple does not provide the necessary support to use the content with 4K quality that is included in the platform of content streaming YouTube, which is owned by Google. And, therefore, if you find some video that reaches the mentioned quality. So, you will have no choice but to use it by lowering its definition to Full HD, to give an example. Something of the most curious in the Apple TV 4K.

But is it really a curiosity that we comment? Well, in reality, it is not so much and it is due to the codecs involved in the reproduction process. We explain: Google on the YouTube platform uses the name VP9, while the new Apple TV 4K. Which uses for the highest quality content is H.264 / HEVC. Obviously, and as you can see, there is a discrepancy since the product of the company of Cupertino does not use to the mentioned codification that is used in the platform in streaming. Therefore, here is the problem that has been encountered.
Can this be fixed on the Apple TV 4K?
Well, the truth is yes since it would simply be a matter of working on a software converter. So that the codec used on YouTube can be used on Apple TV 4K. And in addition, due to the power of the new player that not long ago was announced. So, in principle should not have performance problems. But the truth is that the reason why this has not been done right from the start is not well understood. Also, it is true that the native codec integrated into the player is the most accepted. Since we are talking about the most widely used streaming platform globally with millions and millions of views (let’s not a minor or local creation).

The fact is that, for now, videos on YouTube with 4K quality are not an option. That can be used in the new player of the company Cupertino. And, therefore, it will be waiting for an agreement between Apple and Google to change this. Since it is clear that the platform we are talking about will not lose its importance. It is not a serious problem for the Apple TV 4K that has been indicated in the source of the information. And also has a solution. But something that must be taken into account. And, in addition, the same is not the case with Netflix content.
