I read a post here on these forums where an Apple staff member posted that openUrl with schemes works in TvOS like they do in iOS and the documentation here states the url formats to access a YouTube video in iOS but it's not clear if those work with openURL

I'm attempting to open a URL with openURL via an IBAction from a button and I wanted to open YouTube to render the content seeing as how there is no access currently to UIWebView so I can't (without breaking youtube's TOS) render the video directly. I've tested and been able to get access to the direct links with a youtube parser class but again that breaks their TOS so I'm not interested in publishing an app that way.

Thanks for any info on the status of url schemes in TvOS

I have tried everything I've seen and haven't been able to open anything in youtube.

I am able to open hulu and open iTunes and go directly to content.
