I have exactly the same issue with my LG 43UJ630V purchased in August this year. Firstly very disappointed with the WebOS, lack of sufficient internal memory to run the 'apps' properly without constant restarts to 'free up memory' - no excuse for this really given memory is so cheap now. Anyway another major disappointment is the total inability of these sets to use USB Flash drives - LG claim this is due to the read/write limitation of said devices which is quickly exhausted by recording in HD/ 4k. Well all I can say is my six years old Toshibal could manage this faultlessly . The LG however sometimes records OK then other times the recording simply stops after a few seconds. Don't know if this is a 'power' issue or the almost new flash drive is now 'worn out' but whatever LG should either insure their products do what the advertising says or fix the problem. Concerning the 'restarting to free memory error' I did manage to get a call eventually from LG support tech who just stated these TV's are not like computers and cannot be expected to run their Smart TV Apps! Er, excuse me this was promised and is why I purchased the damn thing.

If it suffers the same out of memory errors YouTube and other 'apps' suffer then not much point with this. LG need to fix the out of memory bug or provide all consumers with a free, at home, repair to install sufficient TV memory.

Hi Andy, Thanks for the post with instructions to resolve this problem I have a LG 43UJ630V with this problem when watching YouTube so will give it a try. Would be helpful if LG could be bothered to fix this major software bug or at least reply to all the people who are posting about it. OK here are the results: Turned Off Quick Start: made no difference to faulting app YouTube. Uninstalled YouTube app and unwanted apps, turned off/unplugged TV & waited 15 mins then re-installed YouTube app: made no difference. YouTube app still restarts to free up memory halfway into whatever I am watching. Come on LG fix this please.

I have the same issue with LG 43UJ630V when playing YouTube via WebOS and it is really annoying. Fortunately I also have a Roku streaming stick with YouTube and all the other apps and this works perfectly so far but it would be good if LG could fix their WebOS or TV software bug. As always with these companies the usual advice to 'reset' never works it just means having to set up the TV all over again. So far very disappointed with this WebOS , the guide takes forever to load and cannot be clicked to show genres. Trying to freeze picture just triggers the 'cannot record to this storage device' error even though it does manage to record to USB stick via record button or guide. Even my 5 year old Toshiba could record to USB storage so LG are years behind with this. I have also removed/deleted all the unwanted 'apps' I never use hoping this might 'free up some memory' but it hasn't. Anything else I could try - apart from buying Panasonic?

Why does YouTube keep 'restarting now to free up memory' and how do I fix this very annoying bug in the WebOS or TV? Thanks everyone for your suggestions, answers. Tend to agree with Petevick as I usually don't have any other 'apps' running in the background to take up the very limited memory. Have contacted LG support via clunky email page and had one reply so far which also said to check for open apps or - wait for this - if it only happens with YouTube 'app' then it is their problem and I should contact YouTube for a fix! Not very helpful, ignores the many consumers with similar issue and gives no indication of a future firmware fix. Looks like LG are another 'couldn't care less' TV manufacturer selling overpriced TV's on the back of 'Smart' features that don't work properly and are unlikely to be kept up to date. Will remember this next time I need a new set.
