YouTube TV Keeps Disappearing

Jump to solution

YouTube TV app stopped working yesterday, the icon was there but it wouldn’t launch. The icon for it then disappeared. I updated the software on my Rokus and had to sign into the Roku app to remove and add the icon back. Now it continues to disappear and I have had to complete the process at least four times and sign back into the app each time. I have four Rokus and this is getting to be really annoying. This isn’t happening on my Fire TV. What is going on?

Re: App keeps disappearing and not visible in main menu

This is the same problem many of us have been experiencing, not necessarily that specific App.  It appears to be a Roku issue that they are not owning up to.  I have five (5) Roku devices, and a Roku 24" TV, and never had any problems until recently.  I have experienced this same issue with three (3) different Roku devices lately.

Here is the information requested. The YouTube TV app keeps disappearing from my list of apps and I have to go to the Roku app on my mobile device to remove and add it back. 

Model Number: 3820R2

Software Version: 14.0.4.12230

Device ID: S0J733CTH5DG

Channel Build Version: 2.24 Build 92

Tracker ID: Unable to obtain. Pressing the home button x5 and then the back button x5 does nothing. 

No video to see other than the app is not there u til I delete it from the mobile app and then reinstall it.
