A new version of the Apple TV software is available! And what’s more, after updating to Apple TV 2.0.1, I found that I can actually use my YouTube favorites and subscriptions on my Apple TV!
This is great, because I mark videos that I’ll want to watch again as favorites, and I have a number of subscriptions set up to interesting videos — like those from the Computer History Museum and Zendulo — that aren’t yet available as video podcasts.
YouTube favorites and subscriptions hadn’t worked for me in the past because I have a YouTube account that’s linked to my Google account — that is, a YouTube account that ends in @gmail.com. After updating to Apple TV 2.0.1, I just had to log out from my YouTube account and log in again, and everything came up just fine.
