# Steam Deck

|

## Console-like Youtube in Gaming Mode
|
||||
|
||||
- Using Chromium's undocumented command-line options, the user agent can be
|
||||
changed to PlayStation's, Xbox's or Tizen's (Samsung's TV OS) and the
|
||||
application can be launched in full screen by using the `--kiosk` flag. The
|
||||
following XDG Desktop Configuration, for example, can be used and added as a
|
||||
non-Steam game while in Desktop mode for access in gaming mode
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
|
||||
[Desktop]
|
||||
Version=1.0
|
||||
Type=Application
|
||||
Name=YouTube TV
|
||||
GenericName=Online Video Platform
|
||||
Comment=An online video-sharing, social media platform
|
||||
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=master --arch=x86_64 --file-forwarding org.chromium.Chrome @@ %F @@ --user-agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; Xbox; Xbox Series X) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.82 Safari/537.36 Edge/20.02' --kiosk 'https://www.youtube.com/tv'

|
||||
MimeType=text/plain;
|
||||
# $XDG_PATH contains the paths used to fetch icons, extensions for supported formats are optional Icon=com.youtube.tv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Firefox can also be used however the supported command-line options are
|
||||
limited
|
||||
- The URL for the TV user interface is https://www.youtube.com/tv
|
||||
- Without the user agent change, the above URL is inaccessible and will redirect
|
||||
you to the desktop version of the website
|
||||
- Adblockers like uBlock Origin, AdBlock Plus (both tested) do not remove ads
|
||||
even if they work with the desktop version
|
||||
- Choosing an Xbox user agent is recommended as button prompts match the Steam
|
||||
Deck's `ABXY` button layout
|
||||
- The Electron framework can be used to build a wrapper for the URL
|
||||
- This is the preferable method as it supports exiting from within the
|
||||
application, while browsers only support manual termination from the Steam
|
||||
menu.
|
||||
- Sample code for the electron app (assuming you can build linux binaries
|
||||
for the target platform):
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// sample code to get started
|
||||
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron');
|
||||
app
|
||||
.whenReady()
|
||||
.then(() => {
|
||||
const win = new BrowserWindow({
|
||||
backgroundColor: '#2e2c29',
|
||||
kiosk: true,
|
||||
});
|
||||
win.maximize();
|
||||
win.loadURL('https://youtube.com/tv');
|
||||
win.webContents.userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; Xbox; Xbox Series X) '
|
||||
+ 'AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) '
|
||||
+ 'Chrome/48.0.2564.82 Safari/537.36 Edge/20.02';
|
||||
})
|
||||
.catch(() => { });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Miscellaneous
|
||||
|
||||
- When using a dock or a hub to connect to an external display, ensure the
|
||||
display supports the refresh rate set on the device; some TVs and some
|
||||
monitors only support refresh rates that are multiples of 30Hz
