Keyboard doesn't type in Netflix or YouTube
On many LG and Samsung TVs, the Netflix and YouTube apps ignore text sent from phones. The official TV apps have the same limit; it's how those TV apps are built.
Our workaround: on these TVs, tap Use the TV's Keyboard in the app's keyboard. TVkip then moves through the TV's on-screen keyboard and selects each letter for you.
- It's slower than normal typing, so a few letters of the title are usually enough.
- Keep the TV's search screen open and don't press other buttons while it types.
- Roku and Google TV accept phone typing in most apps.
