How in the fucking hell can I get YouTube to work properly on a shield.

by FluffleCuntMuffin

Had a Roku 3. Worked flawlessly. Sold it for a shield after hearing people sing its praises. It won't play YT for more than a few minutes without freezing. Clearing the cache does nothing. Clearing the data does nothing. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing. Reverting back to the default version does nothing.

The main reason I bothered upgrading was to get YouTube in 2k or 4k.

HOW THE FUCK CAN I FIX THIS.

NOTHING WORKS.

This stupid box is trash. Why the hell did I get rid of my roku. It worked just fine. I don't give a shit about anything else this thing is supposedly capable of if it can't even handle YouTube.

Out of the box it was 6.3 and I immediately upgraded to 7.0. Is that the problem? Is this fucking oreos fault?

Never had any problem with youtube or youtubeTV and I've had the original shield since pretty much they came out.

Maybe you got a defective box?

This is not typical of anyone's experience with the shield when you calm down and quit throwing your tantrum then you can tell us more than it doesn't work and maybe get some help.

"I refuse to test anything, and I made sure the warranty was expired before I even turned it on."

Best of luck with your problems.

Does the entire app freezer or just when you play videos?. Can you describe the crash a little more please. Any error appear?

Also, the box is far from trash. It's the app that's buggy it appears

Il take it off your hand for free if you don't want it and give you a roku

Ps. Oreo is 8.0, not 7

Same problem with YouTube app on MIBOX3 with Android 8 Oreo. Try to install smart YouTube app from Aptoide. Open the app press back button and choose 4k. It works great.
