YouTube for Google TV gets updated with recommendations and other features

Google has updated the YouTube app for their Google TV platform.

The app now features a recommendation section which suggests videos to watch based on your past activity.

Google spoke about this feature:

Recommendations can introduce you to the ever-expanding creativity of YouTube creators, showing you how things like pillows, a car wash, and taxidermy are related in the most hilarious of ways. On the topic of playlists, all of your private playlists are now featured as a grid of videos so you can quickly find any video in your Watch Later or Favorites.

Google has also updated the player and it should now load the best quality video that can play on your current connection speed. The app would automatically switch to a different quality version based on the quality of the connection.

YouTube for Google TV also now features the Google +1 button so that you can recommend videos you like to your circles.
