Hi renojim
I have been round and round both with Roku and YouTubeTV (YTTV) without luck. I have 4 TVs with various model Roku Streaming Sticks: 3810RW, 3810X, 3800X
Symptom: With many recorded shows, when I try to play, it will simply play a 30-second ad and then quit, as if the show has been completed. I cannot FF past the ad or RWD to the beginning of the show. Or it gives me a playback error.
I tried removing and reinstalling the YTTV channel. Annoyingly, when you remove YTTV on one, it removes it on all four! I tried removing, pulling power for 30 seconds from the Roku, reinstalling, and still no dice.
Your suggestion gave me hope. Here's what I did:
1. Removed YTTV and YouTube channel on one TV (which did so for all four tvs/Rokus)
2. Pulled the power on all four Roku sticks for 30 seconds
3. Reconnected power on one Roku Stick, powered up, and reconfigured YTTV login
I pulled up a problem recording, and I was happy to see I could FF/FWD through the show. But once it hits an ad, it plays the ad, then I'm back to square one.
Of course, there are zero problems replaying recordings on the YTTV mobile phone app or on a computer browser.
