Haqhah, I wish I had met my girl at Nashville when I was younger, I would have gone from dekkeriedoo to dadderiedoo, and sometimes that's all you really need, when life's about, you'll know it's about, and it will forever stay about, like the water falling from the mountain, because even the greatest experiences always same to fade

                    And the Android version doesn't go past 1440p, even when iOS does. Nice.

                      Third party Android TV apps already had 8k playback.
                      Stock YouTube app is behind.
