An issue I just noticed with the Google TV OS:

I am not able to add recommended movies on YouTube which appear on the home screen to the watchlist in Library tab. Recommended movies from all other streaming services, I am able to add to this watchlist. If I long-press the centre button on remote on a YouTube video which is shown on the home screen, I only get an "Open" option. For all other videos, I get many options like Watchlist, Already watched, Like, Dislike, etc.

Looks like we cannot watchlist Netflix content either in the Google TV mobile app or OS. Earlier it was possible in the app.

Tried to watchlist "Adolescence" and it said "this action is not supported for this content".
