Youtube stops playing videos on LG TV UF850V


Question

Posted

Since some months youtube has stopped working properly, it stops playing videos after some clips and became unresponsive showing blanked videos windows.

I have the latest tv firmware: 4.06.25

and latest youtube version app available for webos 2.0:  v.1.1.26 12/01/2022

I tried everything:

Resetting youtube

Changing language and country

Resetting tv

Resetting tv by unpluging power for some minutes

Uninstall and reinstall youtube 

Connecting to internet wifi from phone hotspot instead of house wifi 

I sent many feedbacks throught youtube app but still no fix until today..20221209_221724.thumb.jpg.9525424b7f0f486c56c58f52dfa4a44b.jpg

I was having the same problem with YouTube (mostly), in that it looked like it was dropping the internet connection.

I have both Ethernet and WiFi turned on, and swapped out each to see what makes a difference. Not much it seems!

After visiting the Network Settings yet again I turned on IPv6 in the Wired Connection (Ethernet) option. This seems to have fixed the problem for me (at the moment).

PS. I don't like my TV to just go into standby mode so I turn Quick Start off meaning my TV will hopefully really turn off and reset things a bit better each time I turn the TV on again.

try connecting through ethernet port I have seen the wi-fi board fail on this tv 

that's not a wifi or ethernet problem!!!

it is something about the commercials from youtube that doesnt' start at beginning of the videos, stopping the app.  It happens mostly with new videos. I noticed youtube app was updated 2 times in december, with the first update the problem was fixed. The last updated the problem come back

      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??

      For the past few years I have been using a 2nd generation Apple TV to watch YouTube videos on my LG Smart TV, however as of today Apple have disabled their YouTube app for this particular device.
      I presumed I would be able to use a YouTube app on my TV to continue watching videos in this way, after all has anyone ever heard of a Smart TV without a YouTube app? Since most new TVs are smart TVs these days most people I know have one and they all have the capability to play YouTube videos, usually you don't even have to download the app as it is one of the ones that comes pre-installed.
      However I cannot find a YouTube app in the LG content store. I've not really tried to install new apps on my TV since getting it so I don't know if I'm looking in the right place, or it is one of those things like with smartphones where there are multiple places you can go and download apps from.
      Bizarrely though, despite there being no YouTube app, there is a YouTube kids app, so it's not like LG have never heard of YouTube or anything, they just don't seem to have realised that people other than kids watch videos on it.

      I’ve just got home after being away 2 years, and got the tv out of storage. When we try and watch the news live in the. Morning every few minutes the video and sound stop and then after a few seconds the circle appears and starts spinning. Then the program starts again and it’s fine for a little while, and then it stops again.
      I have checked for updates of the TV OS and iView (2021 is the latest)
      If I use iView on my iOS device and then airplay it to the tv it works fine with no problems. If I watch any program on iview that would have been prerecorded, even if I’m watching it “live” it’s fine.
      I see a few people were having a problem with all iView programs back in 2022, but they resolved. 
       
      can anybody suggest any solutions?
       
      Thanks
      Charlie
