My elderly father enjoys watching movies through YouTube through Apple TV, which we purchased in 2012.
Last night, I was woke up because the icon of YouTube has disappeared from Apple TV.
I tried searching Google, and performed the following
- changed my location to my current location
- reset Apple TV
- reboot the Wi-Fi
Others suggest seeing a movie on iPhone and iPad and then clicking the triangle in box to make it play in Apple TV.
No matter how many times I tried explaining this process to my father, he couldn't understand, and was very frustrated and irritated (he suffers from lot of chronic pain, so seeing serials from YouTube's Apple TV gives relief, it takes his mind away from things)
What other workaround can I try so that the YouTube icon will appear on Apple TV?
UPDATE:
We purchased Apple TV 3rd generation and my father absolutely HATES the new layout. He says he is not able to view a history of search terms he entered for movies and serials. It's just not user friendly. He says he will pay $20 a month just to get the YouTUBE from the old Apple TV back, because the interface was suitable to him ..... we're keeping the old Apple TV in case there is a workaround to get YouTUBE back ......
