YoutubeTV Live guide issues


Question

Posted

Hey all,

Ive had an issue with the YoutubeTV app for months now and I cant seem to figure out a way to fix the issue.  Even YoutubeTV support has no idea.  Has anyone had the issue where they start up the YouTube TV app on their TV and the live guide lists shows for when they last powered down the TV?  For example....  Say I watched TV the night before and turned off the TV at 9pm.  (fully close the app and shut off the TV).  Then say at 6:30am I turn on the TV, start up the YoutubeTV app and when I go to the live guide it lists the shows at the 9pm hour from the previous night.  Has anyone else had this issue and were you able to fix it?  Its almost like its holding on to cached memory but there is no way to clear the app cache.  YoutubeTV claims that every time the TV is turned on/off that's when it clears the cache but that obviously isn't happening with the YoutubeTV  app.  The work around for now is re-closing the YoutubeTV app and opening it up again.  When I restart the app then  the live guide refreshes with the current time.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have found a work around that doesnt include having to turn the TV off and on.  If you clear the YoutubeTV app from the "recents" section of the apps taskbar (pressing the home button)  this will fix the issue.  I wish LG WebOS could put something in place where when you turn off the TV every time it clears the apps out of this section.

      I have a 32LQ63 model and had always thought that I should be able to watch catch-up tv from the previous 7 days direct from the epg.
      However, I cannot for the life of me get that to work. Whatever I do, whenever I am in the epg I can only get it to move forwards rather than back. I can watch catch-up tv from Freeview Channel 100, but I would like to be able to do so from the epg. What am I missing?

      Program guide works OK until ca. 17.30-18.00 . Then the guide only shows current programs. Inspecting later times is not possible. Only thing that helps is to unplug the TV  and  plug it in again. But the next day the problem is there again around the same time. Is this a problem of the LG TV? Is there a solution for this?

      I’ve just got home after being away 2 years, and got the tv out of storage. When we try and watch the news live in the. Morning every few minutes the video and sound stop and then after a few seconds the circle appears and starts spinning. Then the program starts again and it’s fine for a little while, and then it stops again.
      I have checked for updates of the TV OS and iView (2021 is the latest)
      If I use iView on my iOS device and then airplay it to the tv it works fine with no problems. If I watch any program on iview that would have been prerecorded, even if I’m watching it “live” it’s fine.
      I see a few people were having a problem with all iView programs back in 2022, but they resolved. 
       
      can anybody suggest any solutions?
       
      Thanks

      Hi all, last week I got my new LG 65" C4 Oled delivered.
      I investigated using first a 32Gb memory stick for recording live programmes and pause live TV facility.
      I was able to record programmes but the Live TV would not work 🥲
      The LG usb is the slower 2.0 spec but I read that most low current SSD drives should still work fine with 2.0
      Today I received a 240Gb drive with Sata to usb 3.0 cable (3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0).
      I can confirm that everyting works fine and for just £17.40 I now have pause live TV and loads of space for recording programmes.
      I used AliExpress and they if you buy using the "choice" option you get free 7day delivery to UK with detailed tracking 👍

      Hello 
      Question about new LG WebOS tv's, anyone noticed when pausing live TV ( live playback) on Webos 5.3 ( GX ) that recording is reset when changing channels. 
      Meaning if you have paused tv and then changed the channel the playback recording is lost / reset to 0 minutes.
      I've have two LG tv's before the GX that didn't do this current this have one.
