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

      The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App. 
      I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
      **I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
      It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
      Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.

      Videos from certain websites are unable to play on browser after latest update to webOS 5.50.55. In the first image there should be a play icon on the video player

      Has anyone else had the same problem as me regarding the 'like' button on the YouTube app on my Oled77g7v? There is a thumbs up button and a thumbs down button for each video. These icons are supposed to be just an outline unless you click on them and then they fill in to show you have selected them. However, this no longer works on my TV. It is as if you never clicked. In fact, the 'like' icon is always pre_filled, no matter what I do. This used to work properly and it still works correctly on a Sony TV I have. Any ideas would be very welcome!

      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

      Hello,  I am looking for an app through which I can play videos on USB because inbuilt media players do not support all formats. And in some videos I'm facing frame drops or lagging.
