Native YouTube client for PS3 — browse feeds, search, open channels, and play up to 1080p with sound, streamed as it plays (no PSN, no ads). Talks to YouTube directly, streams adaptive H.264/AAC over the http module (BearSSL transport), and skips community SponsorBlock segments.

Yo! Player changes:
260715-2338 Stable
- Subtitles — press Triangle while watching to cycle through the video's subtitle languages (off by default). The current language shows top-right whenever the seek bar is up. Formatting junk and odd spacing from YouTube's subtitle files are cleaned up automatically.
- Video description — press Select to pause and read the full description over the video; scroll with up/down, close with Select or Circle.
- Volume control — up/down on the d-pad adjusts volume during playback, with the same pill meter as the file manager (in YouTube red). Your level is remembered between videos.
The seek bar now appears briefly when a video starts, along with the video title in the top-left.
- Video chapters: press START while watching to open the chapter list — jump straight to any section with X. Works both for chapters written in the description and chapters set by the creator in YouTube's editor.
- Chapter boundaries are marked on the seek bar, just like on YouTube.
Notifications (skipped sponsor, subtitles, no chapters) now appear neatly in the top-right corner.
- The description panel no longer pauses the video, and both it and the chapter list use a darker, easier-to-read background.
- Fixed: closing a menu with X no longer accidentally pauses the video.
- Seeking is much faster: the picture now lands in well under a second in most cases (previously 2–3 seconds).
- Audio also recovers faster after a seek, since it now catches up in the background instead of holding everything else up.
- Videos start faster: the video and audio connections now open at the same time instead of one after the other.
- Audio settles in more quickly after seeking.
- You can now choose how much SponsorBlock skips: edit settings.txt in the yo-player folder (created automatically) and set sponsorblock-mode to off, ads (skip paid promotions only — the new default), or all (also skip intros, outros and filler, as before). Segments stay colour-marked on the seek bar either way.
- Reduced logging clutter filling up dbg.txt
- Seeking no longer flashes a black screen — the picture now cuts straight to the new position.
260714-0110 Stable
- The video title now appears top-left whenever the seek bar is shown, and the seek bar pops up briefly when a video starts.
- New: press Select while playing to view the video's description over a dimmed background. Scroll long descriptions with up/down; close with Select or Circle (playback resumes automatically unless you had already paused).
- New: Up/Down now control the volume with an on-screen meter, remembered across videos. Works on live streams too.
- The debug stats overlay moved from Select to R3.
260711-0133 Stable
- Added live stream playback (mainly under sports).
- Added background video downloads with progress display and queued downloads.
- Added a "Watch Later" section with saved videos and thumbnail tags.
- Improved grid navigation so left/right wraps between rows.
- Added subscribe/unsubscribe toggle directly in channel view.
