YouTube only black screen
I start YouTube and only get a black screen. I’ve redownloaded it several times. Will only play videos by mirroring from my iPhone. #Generalplaybackissues

After removing the channel, but BEFORE reinstalling it, did you RESTART** your Roku to clear its memory cache? Without the restart you may not get a clean reinstall. This is not a cure-all but at least it will assure you of having an uncorrupted copy of the current channel app.
Depending on your Roku model number you'll find the "System restart" option under either "Settings > System > Power" or under "Settings > System". If you don't have sufficient control to use the menus, or if it is just more convenient, you can also restart by pulling the power plug for a short while, then plugging it back in.
**On a Roku TV with "Fast TV Start" enabled, turning the TV off/on only puts you in/out of a low power standby state, it does NOT give you a complete restart. Use the methods above.this is 2025 i just found the fix with the "1 touch play" why dose tech not tell everybody insted of that copy and paste solution that they know is junk
I ended up tossing my Roku TV. I got tired of this issue that these lazy developers refuse to address. I ended up buying an LG TV and the WebOS is pretty good. It has Apps like roku and the best part is, they all work. If you have this issue with your Roku device and you are reading this, do yourself a favor and ditch Roku. I did, and my life is significantly better!
