I've been having a problem with YouTube for AndroidTV since day one.. most videos with preroll ads won't play... just sits with a loading circle forever. Sometimes if I go back and reload a few times, it'll eventually start but most of the time, nothing. I paid for a month of YouTube Red to test and sure enough, everything works the first time. I've tried clearing data, even up to a factory reset and I'm still seeing the issue. Any ideas?
I've seen this happen to me just the other day. I got frustrated and did something else, and forgot about it. Now YouTube seems to be working fine, so... I'm assuming ghosts.
