YouTube TV not working, black screen then playback error

YouTube TV stopped working, black screen appears and then playback error appears after a minute. I restarted my router, deleted the Youtube TV app, system restart, then added the app again, still not working. I also cleared the cache ( 5 home, up, two rewind, two forward) system restarts and still nothing. I also took out the roku plug and let it restart that way. Everything else works but YouTube TV.

YouTube TV channel licensing issues

Edit; App just came back and is working. Issue resolved.

I’m having a new issue with Roku not playing any videos from my YouTubeTV app. This just started 10 minutes ago. The app will load, but every channel selected has the playback error “there was an issue licensing this video” 8: WWF7 B3Y6 6GAD. I have tried updating the channel and system. Also unplugging and restarting with no resolution. Sent feedback

Did you do anything to make it start working again?

I have this, too. Did you need a ouija board to get it going again?

Tried both those fixes and neither worked.  Cannot watch any YouTube TV.

Same.  This just started about 15 mins ago for me too.

uninstall/reinstall didn’t work.  Neither did check for updates

Same. YouTube TV works on my iPhone and computer but not on any of my TV's with ROKU!

Getting same error.  Checked Roku and it just updated about the same time this started occurring.  Can only imagine Roku’s update broke it.
