Why does it pause again by itself?

When I pause a program for a while, then unpause it, the program plays for about a minute and then re-pauses by itself. This never used to happen so why now?

Re: Why does it pause again by itself?

Is there a particular app you experience this with?

YouTube TV perhaps?

I think it happens with whatever I'm watching and pause for a few minutes. I'll test it more but definitely when watching YouTube TV.

This is a known issue with the YTTV app.

You should contact YTTV CS about it:  https://support.google.com/youtubetv/gethelp

This is also happening to my roku/ remote. It pauses while I watch tv and will press play and turn itself on while I’m not using it so therefore it isn’t a certain app. It’s brand new. Less than a week old.
