I have a question, Wii U YouTube got like two updates on Wii U... I remember with the previous version of YouTube I was able to Watch video and search at the same time without interrupting the actual playback...

My question is:

Is there a way to install different versions of YouTube? Or can we install an older version of YT and try to modify the XML for to the newer version?

Thank you.

I dunno what you mean with your last question but by altering the title ID you can install multiple versions of the same game or app.

I mean is it possible to install the older version of the APP... and then modify the XML file to make the console think its the new one and wont force me to update it.

But i think its pointless cause there is no backup of the old version of this app... eShop only gives you ONE version of the app and its the latest one :/

You should be able to download it with Wii U USB Helper without its updates.

IMO you should just use YouTube in the internet browser. You can watch a video on the TV and browse YouTube (or any other website) on the GamePad at the same time.
Not to mention the great native video player.

LMAO I'm here 4 years later asking myself the same question lol, sorry for the bump.
If you can find the YouTube Version that you remember with that future, you can try.... Now, I don't think will be any upgrade for YouTube as every upgrades are discontinued (not sure about that)?!
For XML, you can try to unpack the app change the version and re-pack to install it.
In the end of the story, you need to TRY ;) .

Yeah, and venturing inside the apps i found they changed the structure of the app in v96 and in v112 is totally different, so the one i probably want is v96 below, but i am unable to make it get to the actual app, just stuck on the splash screen

EDIT:

I for sure haven't finished trying everything i can but im running out of ideas haha

In this case if they changed a lot , I don't want that they optimized for the new OS version of Wii U every time, and maybe it's that the reason why you cannot overpass the YouTube splash screen..... The version of the OS from your Wii U, it's the same as the one v96 can run at that time?

I am not sure what OS version we had back in v96, that could be

EDIT: One thing I was able to do once, was to put older rpx inside the code folder and it worked haha, but that only goes all the way to v112 which is still better because gives you the option to play at 1080p, newer versions only cap at 720p

I would like to help you, but no idea here, because I never played a lot with it, and here for sure you know more things on it 😉. Hope someone else , it has the answer....
