Youtube App will stop playing/loading after a few videos

Since a short while (maybe 2 weeks), the youtube app seems to have issues.

I can only play 2-3 videos consecutively, before it stops loading even the ads that come before each video, black screen only.

Funny enough, sometimes I am not even able to turn the TV off when this happens.

 

I already tried:

- Logout and back into my youtube acc.

- Uninstall the app from WebOS, turn TV off incl unplug power for 1+ minutes, reinstall the app.

- Reset the TV to factory default, reinstall everything.

 

Other apps work like a charm still, eg Netflix, Plex, other web based TV providers for local channels.

Youtube App used to work just fine for me, I would assume it has to do with a recent update.

 

For info, I am on a OLED55B7V

I also am posting a similar help request to the Youtube Forums.

Thanks for your help!

I've been having sluggish YouTube lately as well.  A video will start and then the spinning busy indicator and a long delay.  I found that just disabling the internet and then reconnecting fixed it for a while.  I am connecting wirelessly, fwiw.  The internet provider switched from 100Mbps to 200Mbps and I thought somehow the change in speed might have screwed up the app.

      Date problem after 03.51.15 update
      By PVD
      After recent software update of LG OS software update 03.51.15, there is constant problem with Date.  Date is not setting properly and getting defaulted, due to which browser and most of the apps are not working.. Have tried to reset to original settings and remove automatic date setting option then tried setting manually.. but every day its resetting to old date.

      Last input behavior changed after update
      By mean2
      Hello, after the last update of WebOS (6.5.0.-24) there is different behavior of returning back to previous input on my TV. When I was watching a Live TV and opened an app like Youtube, after closing it (holding the return button) it used to return to Live TV. The same with HDMI input, when I was playing on Playstation and the opened an app, after closing it it returned back to PS. Now after the update, it always go to the Home Screen when the app is closed. I only found in setting to return to last input when turning the TV on instead of Home Screen, but didn't find the same for the behavior after closing an app. Is there a way to fix it?
      Thanks

      YouTube App isn't running in 4k
      By Lee Magee
      I just purchased the LG UHD 43UP76 advertised as real 4k however the YouTube App is running at 1080p.  Which means 4k content is downsampled to 1080p then reupsampled to fit the 4k pixel grid and the image quality is awful.
      i assume WebOS runs at 1080p and simply upscales to 4k on low end 4k TVs, this same with high end TVs??

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      LG TV won't work after update
      By JRay
      Our TV just did an update and now certain buttons on the remote aren't working, and the TV won't stay on if it even comes on at all you get a dark blue screen and that is it.. such a great update. Now what do we do? The remote batteries have been changed and it still isn't working correctly. We unplugged the TV and then replaced it in.. ugh..
