Solving playback issues

[Dunedad]

Ever since the latest firmware update that was pushed on my Roku express device whenever I attempt to play a recorded program from my YouTube TV app the playback just buffers (spinning wheel). The only way to play the DVR recording is to restart the system thru Roku home page on the device screen.

I understand the train of though that this is an issue related to the YouTube TV app, but I did not experience this problem until after the latest version of firmware/software download, which leads me to belive that this is related to the update.

Here's the details of software version and build for my Roku express. I have checked and this is the latest version of software available thru the device home>settings menu page. 

Software version :13.0.0

Build:24062
