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.

Just bought a LG C5 Oled TV. I'm getting this error message randomly when i'm watching netflix. App will now restart to free up memory.
And yes ... unplugging my tv and deleting apps is NOT a fix.
You are incompetent corporate scum.
I'm never buying LG again.

Optimized for Modern Living, Company’s New Fit & Max Refrigerators Deliver Stylish,
User-Centric Design and Smart Performance to European Kitchens
SEOUL, Aug. 19, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest refrigerator lineup for the European market at IFA 2025. Designed to deliver top-tier energy efficiency, the new french door and bottom-freezer models have been developed specifically for Europe’s unique housing environments and consumer lifestyles, reflecting LG’s extensive research into local needs and preferences. The lineup combines energy-saving performance, smart features and space-efficient styling that integrates seamlessly into modern homes.
Outstanding Energy Efficiency
Responding to increased demand for energy-efficient appliances across Europe, LG is introducing models that meet – and significantly surpass – the European Union’s highest (“A”) energy rating. The new bottom-freezer model exceeds the requirement for the A rating, while the french door model has impressively earned an A rating, despite being in a category where such ratings are rare.
LG’s exceptional energy efficiency was made possible by its optimized insulation design tailored for the European market, as well as AI-based features that help reduce electricity consumption by learning household usage patterns and optimizing compressor operation during periods of low activity.
Fit & Max: Perfect Fit and Maximum Performance
Designed for Europe’s typically compact kitchens, the new lineup features LG’s Zero Clearance Hinge, enabling doors to open fully (up to 110 degrees) even when placed flush against a wall. Sleek exteriors with LG’s Premium Flat Door design create a refined, built-in look.
AI-powered features elevate convenience and efficiency to make every day easier and power bills more manageable. AI Fresh monitors your door-opening habits over three weeks and lowers the temperature in advance during peak times. This helps reduce sudden temperature changes when the door is opened, keeping food fresher for longer. AI Saving Mode analyzes use-behavior and intelligently adjusts cooling performance during low-usage periods, helping save energy.
Embodying LG’s MAX concept – maximizing space efficiency and food freshness – the lineup features a variety of storage solutions that enhance interior usability, including the Retractable Shelf for tall or bulky items, and generous interior capacity. Freshness technologies include Linear Cooling to minimize temperature fluctuations, Door Cooling+ for fast, even cooling and Fresh Converter+ with customizable storage zones for meat, fish and vegetables.
New French Door Refrigerator Boasting Built-In Look, Practical Features
The new french door model presents LG’s first Thin Door design with both an ice and water dispenser, plus the installation flexibility of the Zero Clearance Hinge. The Ultra Slim In-Door Ice Maker saves storage space while delivering a steady supply of ice.
Interior enhancements include an optimized basket design that reduces the risk of bottles tipping over when opening or closing. Deeper shelves improve internal storage capacity, aligning with the needs of European lifestyles. Soft Closing Doors prevent slamming, ensuring smoother and quieter operation.
New Bottom-Freezer Designed for Flexibility
Designed to fit real European kitchen environments, the new bottom-freezer series offers a variety of sizes and capacities. Adjustable shelving and flexible compartments maximize usable space.
The Adjustable Shelf offers seven height settings, while the combination of Adjustable and Retractable Shelves allows for tailored organization. Additional accessories, such as the Movable Bucket, My Box and Mini Door Basket, can be repositioned for convenient access or to free up space for other items.
“LG’s new refrigerator lineup reflects a firm commitment to meaningful innovation, combining outstanding space and energy efficiency with designs that fit seamlessly into modern kitchens,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We remain focused on developing user-centric technologies that enhance everyday convenience, simplify life at home and have less impact on the planet.”

Question
chupo_cro
What was the possible reason to implement the condition so there has to be at least 40 GB of free HD space to be able just to start the recording??
I made 2 partitions on my 160 GB hard disk - the first one of 40 GB assigned to Time Shift/Recording and the second one to store the movies - and now I cannot anymore start the immediate recording because it says 'There must be minimum 40 GB of free space to start the recording'!!
My question #01 is: Why in the h... would I've been forced to have the free space to store hours and hours of the recorded video if I want to record just a short TV show????
There, hovewer, is a (silly) workaround:
1. Just watch the show you want to record
2. After the show ends, rewind it back a few minutes before it began (Live Playback has obviously to be turned on)
3. Press RECORD and immediately after press STOP (and choose to save the content - that will save everything from the point where you rewound to present time)
4. Open Time Shift and start the newly recorded video
5. FF to the exact start of the show and press PAUSE
6. Use the mouse to press the arrow to open some additional commands and choose Save Selection (the in-point will be marked with A)
7. FF the video to the exact end of the show and press PAUSE
8. Press Save Selection one more time at the out-point to cut-out everything but the selected part of the video
This workaround allows you to 'record' even if you have less than 40 GB of free HD space, but that way the max. length of saved video is 1 h 30 min (because Live Playback saves only last one and a half hour).
My question #02 is: How it is supposed to fill the last 40 GB of the hard disk space if you can't even start the recording when you have 'only' 39.9 GB of free space????
The 1 h 30 min of Live recording can't 'eat' those 40 GB even if we are watching the maximum rate 1080i TV show so those 40 GB are not intended to be used by Live recorder. The only way to fill the last 40 GB of HD space seems to be in the case of recording for hours and hours!?
