I have 2years old Philips Android TV (running 7.1.2 ) and I've noticed that some of the youtube videos crash my TV...
Linked GIF https://gfycat.com/EminentCheerfulFlyingsquirrel shows it - after buffering screen splits to 4 parts, two upper ones show duplicated video and ones below show just noise. This happens to the whole system UI and only restart fixes the problem.
Any ideas what may cause that / does anyone have the same issues? (usual problematic channels are MrMobile or VideoGameDunkey, especially right after they upload the video, after some time some of them start to work)
I have this same issue with my Philips TV, it seem to happen with videos that are 60 FPS, the only work around I have found is to select the video quality and bump it down to a non HD resolution or you can cast is from a mobile device which I believe keeps the resolution but lowers the frame rate to 30fps.
Also uninstalling YouTube updates and running the vanilla version that came with the TV works too.
none of the above is ideal but it's all I've found so far.
