You can clear the cache but that only solves the problem for a short while then it reoccurrs. This is maddening and ridiculous. I have 11 Roku devices. Does it happen on the new Ultra? #4660x

Also bought the new Google streaming box, have not seen any freezes yet.

The freeze issue is particularly bad when you are traveling.  When you travel you basically can't record any live sports due to youtubetv's legacy type carry agreements.  So you just stay on your event.  But if you pause it and start building up buffer, which is normally good since you can skip commercials, it is not good now since you will get a freeze and then have no option except to go out and then back into your live event, ie you are forced to catch up to "live", and then miss how many minutes/hours you had buffered.

Re: YouTube TV Fast Forwarding Issue on OS 14

Jump to solution

Hey everyone,

We know some of you are having trouble fast-forwarding in the YouTube TV app.

We're working closely with Google on this, and they're currently working on a fix.

Since many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel providers themselves, we recommend reaching out to Google support directly with your feedback. They're the ones who decide on and add new features to their channel.

For any other issues you encounter with the YouTube TV channel or other Roku channels, feel free to start a new thread in the Community.

We're going to mark this issue as resolved.

Thanks,

The Roku Community Team
