YouTube Restarting to 'free up memory'

[Martlea]

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.

you can't fix it. The problem is the piss poor amount of memory thats fitted to these TV's, they are really not fit for purpose

Exit other apps.

For example, with the Netflix app, you'll need to go to go to the 'gear' wheel by pressing 'back' on your remote control and then choose 'Exit Netflix'.

This frees up memory.

I found that my Google Photos was using large amounts of memory.  Removing the photos solved the restarting you tube tv problem.
