> Welp, I specifically bought a Roku device a few months ago just to use YouTube.

We have Rokus (a 4K Ultra in the living room and a TCL Roku TV in the bedroom), as well as a 4K Chromecast, and until we got the Roku Ultra we had a Nvidia Shield TV. We keep more than one type of device specifically because it is inevitable that a provider (Roku, Amazon, Google) will drop a service we enjoy. This actually happened with the Shield which is why we replaced it with a Roku; it was no longer working with Emby at all, and it was flaking out on certain other services. It could have been just a case of bad hardware but it was flawless for two years straight until one by one services stopped working on it.

This is also why I have a Mac, a couple of Windows PCs, a Linux workstation, and a BSD laptop. When one of the above can't do something, one of the others can.

I have a (newer) Shield TV, and it works fine with Emby. That is, assuming you're talking about the self hosted Emby.

Mine was the first gen Shield, and I never could figure out why it stopped working properly with my (self hosted, local network) Emby server. Even after a factory reset and trying a different Google account it never worked right. No issues whatsoever with the various Roku devices in our house and at my mom's and SIL's houses.
