Roku Streambar SE YouTube app rapidly times out and quits when video paused

I just purchased a Roku Streambar SE | 2-in-1 TV Soundbar model 9104R on November 2024, to replace an older Roku souindbar.

Both models were doing the same thing. When in the You Tube app, if you pause a show, in two minutes it kicks out.

I’ve looked through response in the Community Group, it looks like this has been a problem for a few years.

Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance.
