Hello @JimMelbFL

We're sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing.

Did you restart your Roku device before re-installing the channel? That step is crucial when performing the troubleshooting. If you haven't tried the suggested order (remove > restart > reinstall), we would recommend giving it a shot once again. We also suggest doing the restart from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.) > System restart.

Let us know if there's any difference after.


All the best,
Kariza

I saw one person with a roku made a comment earlier on YouTube's site about the youtube playback speed option missing. 

Here is a direct link to the discussion Playback speed option missing in YouTube app - YouTube Community (google.com)

Yes. I tried multiple times - physical power off, Reinstall etc.

Many of the folks over at reddit who are seeing the same thing believe that this may be a deliberate attempt by YouTube to force standard speed on all Roku users (smartphone apps seem so far unaffected) to listen at regular speed so they can generate maximum user-airtime for advert revenue.

@Vicki002 @JimMelbFL  Google is the developer for the YouTube channel on Roku. They decide what options are available for each OS. So you need to bring your issues up to Google as @OwnerofDevices  has mentioned and provided links too.

Where do you take it to Google Youtube?  Where do you report it? 

 

Problem started 3 days ago.   Will stop using Youtube on Roku if this continues as some episodes are way to slow.
