Youtube freezes on TCL Roku TV

Hello, I'm having the same issue with my TCL Roku TV. Any youtube video I play will start normally but freeze a few seconds in. After several minutes the TV restarts. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the YouTube app, clearing the cache of the tv and a full restart of the TV through the power menu. The issue has continued for about 24 hours.  

.Mt roku tv model number is 7130x.

Software version is 13.0.0 build 24062-30

 

Gc version 11.7.22

 

Issue ID is 42-239-444

I am having the same issue.  No other service or app has issues.  Problem started after TV downloaded updated OS 13.0.0 Build 24063

Re: Youtube freezes on TCL Roku TV

I am also having the same problem with YouTube on my TCL Roku TV. It just started happening a couple of days ago and it has rendered the YouTube app on my TV useless.

For some reason the live videos on YouTube don't seem to have a problem at all but all of the regular videos run for a few seconds or so then get the spinning circle of dots then the dots go away. Sometimes if I jump ahead in the video a little bit and hit play then it will start playing for a bit longer until it does the same thing again. I have tried removing YouTube, rebooting, and reinstalled YouTube and it changed nothing. My internet is fine. I have 2 of the exact same TV and both started doing it at the same time.

Model 65R625

Version 13.0.0

Build 24062-88

 

Update - problem seems to have been fixed. Both TVs are having no issues with YouTube anymore. I didn't do anything else since yesterday when I had deleted and reinstalled YouTube and I cleared the cache on one TV using the sequence home x 5, up arrow, rewind x 2, fast forward x 2. Though that didn't help yesterday so I'm not sure if those steps had anything to do with it because I only took those steps on one of our TVs.

Yup. It's a youtube issue across multiple devices. Basically, nearly everything but desktop and mobile are affected

Same exact issue and only happening on my TCL Roku TV.  Started day after it was updated to the latest 13.0.0 and build.
