Solving playback issues

[sillywormy]

I had ~30 apps on my Roku and one day I opened YouTube and it said it couldn’t load due to insufficient memory. I deleted all but 6 apps (including YouTube) and it still won’t work. About a week later it randomly starts working again even though I changed nothing. A week later it stops working once again, and the cycle keeps repeating where it works and then stops working for no apparent reason. I have downloaded and reinstalled YouTube multiple times and checked my network connection to my Roku and it said it was excellent so I don’t understand why it won’t work please help me

Before proceeding, could you please specify which Roku device are you having this issue with? Perhaps you could provide us with the model of it. Also, is YouTube the only app affected by this?

I am having the same issues. 
I deleted several apps and it still saying I do not have enough memory. Which is really weird.

Same issue with my Roku.  Never happened before.  Deleted a dozen apps and still getting the “not enough memory “ message.  I’m using a Roku Ultra model 4660x.  software is up to date version 13.1.4.  Please advise on how to fix this problem.  Thanks

@Wildcat1 @sillywormy @Ejc61 Try a system restart on your Roku device.  

1. Press Home on your Roku remote.
2. Scroll and select Settings.
3. Select System.
4. Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.
5. Select System restart.
