LG TV UF6800 Youtube hangs after playing advertisement

I have LG TV UF6800. TV is working well. The youtube app had worked well until a couple month ago. The yoyube hangs very often after playing advertisement. It also hangs after playing a long video (around 30 min). By "hangs" I mean it is still there, showing the youtube UI, but we cannot play any video. Just black, staying there forever.

I am using wired network on the TV. 

I tried updating app, nothing. I googled and tried unpluging power while watching...., no help. BTW the youtube (with the same user) works well on PC and iPad.

If you think this is not LG's problem, please advise to whom I should contact.

Also happens on my UF770T.  App and OS are the latest versions.

Same problem here.

Model 49LF6300-UA

WebOS 2.2.3-178

Sofware Version 04.06.75

Started after last WebOS update. Reset TV, Reinstalled YouTube App and Reset You Tube account. Updated You Tube  App and that made it worse.

I experience similar problems on my 49UF680V.

The app started acting up around three months ago, often skipping ads during playback (which I wasn't mad at) and shortly after it started to hang either after ad playback or directly when starting video playback. Since around a week ago, I can view circa two videos until the app hangs during ad playback. After a short time, the TV shows an "Out of memory" notification and automatically reboots.

I just ordered an used chromecast for cheap until these issues are resolved :(

Hi,

I was same issue for last 3 months. The screen will just go black after skipping an ad on a live YouTube channel.

I stumbled on this fix today:

1. Open YouTube

2. Go to Search and click on voice assistant (the mic icon)

3. It will prompt to set a voice assistant. Set it to Google by following the instructions on screen.

That's it. The problem will be fixed!

If you have already set voice assistant to LG ThinQ then change it to Google and try.

Thx 

Saurabh

      EARC issue after replaced powerboard
      By Brendank
      I had an issue with powering on the tv in which pressing the lg power button on the first ocassion did not turn on my Oled C1 77 inch Tv.
      LG replaced the powerboard, however since the replacement I have an issue with intermittent audio dropouts via earc. 
      EARC has functioned previously on my Tv when connected to an Anthem 710 receiver and for a few months now on an Anthem AVM 70. 
      The set up has remained the same in terms of audio settings, passthough, match screen and sound set to bypass and I have tried multiple cables, switching the tv off, resetting earc, but I still have the issue. 
       
      It is very odd that after a replacement power board I have this issue. It almost seems like a comparability issue between the new board and the existing components or something else is wrong with the TV.
      Any ideas?

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      'like' button on YouTube app
      By JonoW
      Has anyone else had the same problem as me regarding the 'like' button on the YouTube app on my Oled77g7v? There is a thumbs up button and a thumbs down button for each video. These icons are supposed to be just an outline unless you click on them and then they fill in to show you have selected them. However, this no longer works on my TV. It is as if you never clicked. In fact, the 'like' icon is always pre_filled, no matter what I do. This used to work properly and it still works correctly on a Sony TV I have. Any ideas would be very welcome!

      Does USB content leave thumbnails via SmartShare on LG TV after removing USB?
      By Wondering
      After viewing photos/videos on a flashdrive plugged into the USB of an LG TV and using SmartShare to view... and then removing the USB and then no longer having access to the TV... I noticed on the flashdrive a new folder called "LG TV" and within what appears to be files that may have been the thumbnails displayed on the TV. My question is... do those thumbnails also remain on the TV as recent history even without the USB plugged in? The LG Smart TV online user guide refers to "Recent" ("To view a list of recently viewed or added content, select Recent). Would thumbnails be there without the source flashdrive?
