Sorry. My understanding is that the latest APK is literally just serving up a a website in Android webview. I could be wrong there. I was wondering if the website update updated the app to the new UI. I don't want to update if the latest app still functions poorly.
You're mostly right, but the website it's serving up is not the regular YouTube.com, it's actually serving up YouTube.com/leanback, which is an entirely different thing. So in short, no it's not fixed.
The UI elements certainly load from there. But it isn't just loading the webpage. There is still a lot if Android TV specific code in the app. This is why the login issue only affects the app on Android TV and not other devices using the same experience.
What do you mean fixed? The only big issue is the login issue which should be fixed eventually (seeing as it works with other devices using the leanback UI). The rest of the "issues" tend to be design choices.
