I've upgraded my apple tv to ios 5.1 only to have it now reject my youtube login. I've previously had this same Apple TV login just fine, but I accidentally hit log out. It just gives me the "This account can not be used with Apple TV" error. I've tried multiple login types.
- Youtube Username
- Google Email Address
- Normal Password
- 2 Factor Auth Password (after entering the normal password first and it failing, hoping to trigger the 2 logins required for Google sometimes)
- I even created a brand new YouTube account without 2 factor auth and it does the same thing. Using a simple password even.
- Reset All Settings on the AppleTV
- Tried a restore, but it failed. I plan to try another one, but dread hooking it up to iTunes.
I'm on my last attempt and I feel it likely won't work. Any ideas? Anyone willing to logout and try to replicate 😉 ?

Turns out the entire youtube app wasn't able to connect at all. No Featured Videos or anything. Makes sense why it couldn't log in. I ended up trying multiple reboots and nothing working. A full restore fixed it though. Annoying.
