SmartTubeNext not playing videos suddenly?

by jollysaintnick88

I believe SmartTubeNext (blue "S" app icon) is the successor to what I previously used SmartYouTubeTv (red "S" icon).

Anyways as of this morning the SmartTubeNext isn't playing videos. Everything loads up fine, you can search etc, but when clicking to play a video it just stays black.

Anyone have input?

Did you try to update to version 11.40. This version have a unplayable fix.

There has been some api changes i think and has been very unreliable lately. he's been updating constantly to try to fix the issue hopefully it gets sorted because i never realized how much i need this app until it stopped working !

i just tried a couple videos and it seems fine with 11.40.

on Bravia 2020 tv all updated, SmartTN is 11.40 every other video I get "can't download" or just a spinning wheel. A couple weeks ago it worked almost flawlessly, now its hardly usable.

Anytime I have this issue, it usually means an update is waiting to be installed. Once installed, the app works perfectly again (and what a difference it makes!)

Log-in will fix it, or latest update seems to be ok

It stopped working this morning for me as well. After reading some comments to this thread I checked and I had version 11.21. I upgraded to version 11.40 and now it works again.

This is likely why the the current version (11.40) has had a warning message in the changelog advising against updating for the last several versions (since 11.28 IME) if you're currently happy with the apps functionality..?
