LG TV UF6800 Youtube hangs after playing advertisement

I have LG TV UF6800. TV is working well. The youtube app had worked well until a couple month ago. The yoyube hangs very often after playing advertisement. It also hangs after playing a long video (around 30 min). By "hangs" I mean it is still there, showing the youtube UI, but we cannot play any video. Just black, staying there forever.

I am using wired network on the TV. 

I tried updating app, nothing. I googled and tried unpluging power while watching...., no help. BTW the youtube (with the same user) works well on PC and iPad.

If you think this is not LG's problem, please advise to whom I should contact.

Also happens on my UF770T.  App and OS are the latest versions.

Same problem here.

Model 49LF6300-UA

WebOS 2.2.3-178

Sofware Version 04.06.75

Started after last WebOS update. Reset TV, Reinstalled YouTube App and Reset You Tube account. Updated You Tube  App and that made it worse.

I experience similar problems on my 49UF680V.

The app started acting up around three months ago, often skipping ads during playback (which I wasn't mad at) and shortly after it started to hang either after ad playback or directly when starting video playback. Since around a week ago, I can view circa two videos until the app hangs during ad playback. After a short time, the TV shows an "Out of memory" notification and automatically reboots.

I just ordered an used chromecast for cheap until these issues are resolved :(

It has been 2 weeks since I posted. Don't know if any LG webos guy ever read these posts. It is obvious a bug of their sofware, is any one from LG  working on this issue?

Hi,

I was same issue for last 3 months. The screen will just go black after skipping an ad on a live YouTube channel.

I stumbled on this fix today:

1. Open YouTube

2. Go to Search and click on voice assistant (the mic icon)

3. It will prompt to set a voice assistant. Set it to Google by following the instructions on screen.

That's it. The problem will be fixed!

If you have already set voice assistant to LG ThinQ then change it to Google and try.

Thx 

Saurabh

      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..
