@BeagleGuy68

Thanks for the post.

Try removing the channel from the Roku home screen by navigating to the channel tile, pressing the * key on your remote and choosing 'Remove channel'. Then restart your device from Settings>System>System restart. Once your player starts up again, add the channel back once more.

Does this clear up the issue you are seeing? Please keep us posted what you find out.

 

Thanks,
Danny

Re: Youtube will not launch on Roku device

Hi @Bushwick,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

I'd be happy to take a closer look to see how we can help get you up and running.

A few questions here to better understand what you're experiencing:

  • Does the issue only occur on Youtube or all channels on your Roku device? 
  • Are you being prompted with an error message?
  • How long has the issue been occurring?
  • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to try to resolve the issue?

As a first step, could you try removing the channel that you are experiencing the issue with from the Roku home screen? Then, disconnect your device from power for a minute. Plug it back in, then try to add the channel back once more and see if this clears up the issue. 

You may also refer to this link: How to resolve a channel playback issue | Official Roku Support 

If this issue is not resolved, please provide the information requested that was previously posted by @RokuDanny-R that would be helpful for our team in further investigating this problem.

Please keep us posted.

Best regards,
Mary
