Youtube App will stop playing/loading after a few videos

[marcog]

Since a short while (maybe 2 weeks), the youtube app seems to have issues.

I can only play 2-3 videos consecutively, before it stops loading even the ads that come before each video, black screen only.

Funny enough, sometimes I am not even able to turn the TV off when this happens.

 

I already tried:

- Logout and back into my youtube acc.

- Uninstall the app from WebOS, turn TV off incl unplug power for 1+ minutes, reinstall the app.

- Reset the TV to factory default, reinstall everything.

 

Other apps work like a charm still, eg Netflix, Plex, other web based TV providers for local channels.

Youtube App used to work just fine for me, I would assume it has to do with a recent update.

 

For info, I am on a OLED55B7V

I also am posting a similar help request to the Youtube Forums.

Thanks for your help!

I've been having sluggish YouTube lately as well.  A video will start and then the spinning busy indicator and a long delay.  I found that just disabling the internet and then reconnecting fixed it for a while.  I am connecting wirelessly, fwiw.  The internet provider switched from 100Mbps to 200Mbps and I thought somehow the change in speed might have screwed up the app.
