Apple TV上的YouTube现在很烂，因为Google在每个平台上都推出了一个界面
YouTube sucks on Apple TV now. The interface doesn’t look like an Apple TV app, and features like the Remote app flat-out don’t work.
YouTube现在吸引了Apple TV。 该界面看起来不像Apple TV应用程序，并且“远程”应用程序完全扩展等功能不起作用。
Apple fans are noticing. Here’s John Gruber on Daring Fireball, talking after the new version of the YouTube app for Apple TV launched in February:
苹果迷们注意到了。 这是《大胆的火球》上的约翰·格鲁伯(John Gruber) ，他在2月份发布了适用于Apple TV的YouTube新版应用程序之后进行了演讲：
It’s a terrible, terrible Apple TV app…it looks and feels like it was designed and implemented by people who’ve never even used an Apple TV.
这是一个可怕的，可怕的Apple TV应用程序……它看起来和感觉像是由从未使用过Apple TV的人设计和实施的。
Gruber is exactly right: the YouTube App for Apple TV wasn’t made with Apple TV in mind. I know this because the exact same interface has existed for years: you can use it right now in a desktop browser at YouTube.com/TV.
Gruber完全正确：Apple TV的YouTube应用并非出于Apple TV的考虑。 我知道这是因为完全相同的界面已经存在多年了：您现在可以在YouTube.com/TV的桌面浏览器中使用它。
Seriously: try it. This same interface has been pushed to every platform under the sun, whether it makes sense or not.
认真：尝试一下。 无论是否有意义，这个相同的界面已被推到阳光下的每个平台上。
Roku和Apple TV具有相同的YouTube界面 (Roku and Apple TV Have The Same YouTube Interface)
Apple TV users weirded out by YouTube’s “new” interface aren’t alone. Roku users have been dealing with the same interface since 2014. Roku doesn’t adhere to as strict a design philosophy as Apple TV, but even on Roku, the YouTube app is jarring.
被YouTube的“新”界面迷住的Apple TV用户并不孤单。 自2014年以来，Roku用户一直在使用相同的界面。Roku并没有像Apple TV那样严格地遵循设计理念，但是即使在Roku上，YouTube应用程序也令人讨厌。
The UI elements, typography, and even the sound effects for browsing and selecting items are completely different than any other Roku channel. The “Options” and “Replay” buttons don’t do anything. It really feels like switching to another operating system.
用户界面元素，版式，甚至用于浏览和选择项目的声音效果都与其他Roku频道完全不同。 “选项”和“重播”按钮没有任何作用。 确实感觉就像切换到另一个操作系统。
But the biggest problem is performance. I own a high-end Roku box, and this interface lags on that. Apparently, getting this app to run in the first place was a challenge. Roku employees have confirmed that Roku needed to change the firmware in order to support the app. It’s not clear what those changes were, but my guess is they added just enough web technologies to run YouTube.com/TV in a wrapper. It certainly feels that way.
但是最大的问题是性能。 我拥有一个高端的Roku盒子，而这个界面则滞后于此。 显然，首先要运行此应用是一个挑战。 Roku员工已确认 Roku需要更改固件以支持该应用程序。 目前尚不清楚这些更改是什么，但是我猜测它们只是添加了足够的网络技术来在包装器中运行YouTube.com/TV。 肯定有这种感觉。
To my knowledge, Roku hasn’t implemented firmware-level changes in order to add support for any other app. Most developers have to use Roku’s APIs to build channels. Google wasn’t willing to do that, and users have been asking for YouTube access for so long that Roku had no choice to play ball. It seems like Google forced Apple to do the same thing.
据我所知，Roku尚未实施固件级别的更改以增加对任何其他应用程序的支持。 大多数开发人员必须使用Roku的API来构建渠道。 Google不愿意这样做，而且用户要求访问YouTube的时间已经很久了，以至于Roku别无选择。 似乎Google强迫苹果公司做同样的事情。
这个接口无处不在 (This Interface Is Everywhere)
Google has been pushing this same YouTube app to every platform they can. I asked my co-workers if YouTube on their TV looked like YouTube.com/TV, and they reported this is the interface used on Android TV and the Playstation. It was also the interface offered on the Amazon Fire TV.
Google一直将这个YouTube应用程序推向他们可以使用的所有平台。 我问我的同事，他们电视上的YouTube是否看起来像YouTube.com/TV，他们报告说这是Android TV和Playstation上使用的界面。 它也是Amazon Fire TV上提供的界面。
This makes sense for Google. They only need to build one user interface, and they can push tweaks and changes to every platform quickly by simply changing the web version.
这对Google来说很有意义。 他们只需要构建一个用户界面，就可以通过简单地更改Web版本将调整和更改快速推向每个平台。
And for some users this works out. Integration with your phone app works the same regardless of whether you’re streaming to a Roku, Apple TV, or anything else. Plus, anyone who uses YouTube on multiple platforms only has to learn one interface.
对于某些用户，这可行。 无论您要流式传输到Roku，Apple TV还是其他任何设备，与电话应用程序的集成都可以正常进行。 另外，在多个平台上使用YouTube的任何人都只需学习一个界面。
And there’s another benefit: you can get this interface running whether Google wants you to or not. The Amazon versus Google feud is still going, meaning you can’t use the “app” on that device. But but users can access more-or-less the same user interface by installing a web browser—which is what Amazon now recommends their users do.
还有另一个好处：无论Google是否愿意，您都可以运行此界面。 亚马逊与谷歌之间的争执仍在继续 ，这意味着您无法在该设备上使用“应用”。 但是，但用户可以通过安装Web浏览器来访问或多或少相同的用户界面，这是Amazon现在建议其用户执行的操作。
But this can also be confusing. People who get used to the way their TV box works have to learn a different way of doing things just for YouTube. And some features simply don’t work.
但这也可能造成混乱。 习惯了电视盒工作方式的人们必须学习仅适用于YouTube的另一种处理方式。 而且某些功能根本不起作用。
I’m sure Apple and Roku would prefer it if YouTube behaved like any other app on their platforms. I bet they pushed for it. But ultimately, any streaming device that doesn’t offer YouTube isn’t a good deal for consumers, meaning Google has all the cards here. They’re using that power to force companies to offer an alien interface. And if Apple can’t force Google’s hand, no one can.
我敢肯定，如果YouTube与平台上的其他任何应用程序一样，苹果和Roku会更喜欢它。 我敢打赌他们为之奋斗。 但最终，任何不提供YouTube的流媒体设备对消费者来说都不是一件好事，这意味着Google拥有了所有的存储卡。 他们正在利用这种力量来迫使公司提供外星人界面。 而且，如果苹果不能强迫Google伸出援手，那没人可以。
