YouTube app only playing certain videos, most just show black screen unless I cast them from YouTube app on phone.

I’ve deleted cache etc, delete updates. Nothing works, only thing left I have is to do a factory reset on my tv although I rather not as all other streaming apps work and don’t want to go through the whole setup again. Hoping someone here has better ideas.

I've got the same issue. Probably a general issue.

Please report the issue at the YouTube Feedback website, explaining in detail the situation, adding a video link also helps the developers to identify the problem.

You can also report the issue directly in the app, while the video is playing, press the center button to bring the OSD, then move up where the channel icon is, press the three dots icon to show the rest of icons, then select the penultimate icon which is the one used to report issues with the video.

Same. I experienced this last night. Seems to be working now after 8 hrs.

Just chiming in with the same problem starting today. Over half the videos don’t work.

Same problem, i kinda fixed it, if you logout of your youtube account you can watch every video.
