Roku YouTube App Pressing Back Goes ALL the way back to subscription list

Jump to solution

This is new behavior and happens seemingly on older youtube videos vs. newer videos on any subscribed channel. Start a video, press back, and instead of going just back to the list of videos on that channel, I'm thrown all the way back to the "All" section of subscribed new videos. Roku YouTube App version with a date code of 05/01.

  • Restart your Roku device: Restart the device from the settings menu. Go to Settings > System > System restart > Restart.
