Re: YOUTUBE TV DVR hangs on playback

Yeah I have already tried removing and reinstalling multiple times which causes an issue in and of itself because of the apps being attached to every tv via my Roku account.

So not only does it not fix the problem but then I have to re-initialize my account on every tv again.

Again, doing the same task in the same app with the same programs cause no issues on one of my Roku tvs but has significant problems on this 55US5800 tv which is slightly older than the one where there are no problems.

Re: YOUTUBE TV DVR hangs on playback

I should mention this only happens with the YouTube tv app for DVR and some live programming when changing channels.

It does not happen with the VOD feature.

@kmunge22 

Thanks for following up. 

If you are still unable to play videos from one channel after attempting the suggestions above, we suggest you contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and inquire further about the channel's features and functionality. Channels on Roku are maintained by the channel developer themselves. 

Don't hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance in the future.


Regards,

Re: YOUTUBE TV DVR hangs on playback

I have contacted YouTube TV support and worked with them quite a bit.  They do not see a problem on their side.  I would tend to agree as I have no problem with playback using the YouTube TV app installed on my LG television.  In fact, if the playback hangs using the Roku, we immediately go to the YouTube TV LG tv app and it plays fine.
