Post the youtube link here and see if others have the same issue.
I'm running the latest ota update
Been having the same issue since YouTube updated on 6/21.
Don’t play that video
RIP^2
It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFPSJx_19ik
It reminds me when the official YouTube video "Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You" was crushing my Wii U console.
I noticed that when the YT app upgraded to 2.03.04 it was crashing a lot on mine (still on Marshmallow). I uninstalled YT updates and went back to 2.02.14. Everything worked again. To stop auto updates, I went to the playstore to disable the feature.
I have not tested the newest one (2.03.06) yet.
If you want to try this you can find the older versions here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube-for-android-tv-android-tv/ (you want the arm-v7a variants)
Too many complaints about this box in here. I won’t recommend it to anyone.
Is it the hardware or ATV issues.
