YouTube for TVs not loading

Has anyone had issues with the YouTube app on any brand TV?
YouTube on my phone is working just fine. But on any TV, all different brands, videos haven't been loading. I try lowering even down to 480 and it just wont load all the way.
Ive tried all my other apps and everything is working. No streaming issues at all. It just seems like YT for TV is the issue.
My TVs are Samsung, Hisense and TCL and all are having the issue. Ive not encountered this before.

Man that is so weird. I'm on my PC right now and it's also fine.
It's only an issue with my TV app. But they'll stream 4k on any other app just fine. Man this is weird.

I have a few Android TV apps that I have to Force Stop / restart them in order to load. Comes and goes.

Reboot the tv. If there isn't a way on the tv menu, unplug it for a minute. Don't forget to plug back in.

Re: YouTube for TVs not loading

I was experiencing problems with YouTube on my TCL Roku TV yesterday. It would play some videos and then just quit. No rhyme or reason as to how long it would go before closing out. So I updated the software. (The TV said it updated some "apps", but didn't specify which ones.) After a restart it seems fine.

Re: YouTube for TVs not loading

Yeah this is just really weird I've tried to update the TV software itself and the app separately I've unplugged the TV I just don't understand what's going on and it appears that it's only 4K but like I said if I go to Disney Paramount whatever I can play a 4K movie perfectly fine. The one thing that I thought might be an issue was the Wi-Fi but I've been doing Wi-Fi for quite a while with a couple of these TVs and never had a problem.
I'm just not sure what's going on it's very weird this is all something that just started.

Re: YouTube for TVs not loading

Okay so I am on my main living room TV which is a Samsung I've had it for a while and never had any issues but it was usually hooked directly to my network but I've got it on Wi-Fi right now and I've had it on Wi-Fi for a little while because my ASUS router crapped out on me so I'm using my Cox cable modem router combo but I'm now using a fire stick that is actually hooked into my receiver but I am watching a 4K video that I cannot watch on the TV app YouTube and I'm not having any issues.

I just don't get how much darker than all of a sudden my TV apps won't stream 4K when it comes to YouTube but they'll stream Disney or any other apps for K just fine and now I'm using a fire stick and watching a 4K YouTube video

Re: YouTube for TVs not loading

Okay here's some more spam...

the fire stick ended up stopping I mean YouTube completely just closed out and it went to the fire stick home screen so something very weird is going on I just unplugged everything from my modem router in fact I left it sitting completely unplugged from everything including the power for about 10 minutes hooked everything back up and I'm still in the same boat a 4K YouTube video will just not play or if it does it's not for very long but I can throw a 4K movie on Disney with no issues I'm just not getting it I don't know if there's some special weird YouTube bandwidth need or what's going on I have no idea this point I'm pretty upset only because it's worked in the past without issue and I can't find anything online about YouTube having any issues so this is really weird
