Re: YouTube app rapidly times out and quits when video paused

UPDATE:  I have discovered that the app also crashes from the video end screen in a similar five minutes.

Re: YouTube app rapidly times out and quits when video paused

I performed a factory reset on the Roku Ultra in question.  No change.

 

If I use the YouTube app in GUEST mode, pausing functions normally and the app does not crash.  The screensaver kicks in after 10 minutes and playback resumes after a keypress as expected.

In a wild twist of plot, the YouTube app appears to be stable on my TCL RokuTV, even when logged in.

I'd just use the RokuTV, but the Ultra is about four times faster which is just this side of usable.

Re: YouTube app rapidly times out and quits when video paused

I spent the better part of an hour with YouTube support last night without any insight past, "Did you try turning it off and on again?"

 

YouTube app version 2.20 Build 110005156 is on my TCL TV and is stable.

YouTube app version 2.23 Build 115025125 is on my Roku Ultra and crashes reliably after 5 minutes paused, or at an end screen, IF I am logged in.  (4800RW X01000M3UMW S02C20A3XUMX MX-368-186)
