YouTube app stucks on black screen on Sony Tv.

by Aainikin

I have a Sony 4K8000G with Oreo 8.0.0.

YouTube version 2.08.10

There’s a lot of power outage where I live currently. Every time my tv restarts after a power outage on the YouTube app when I select any video, it gets stuck on a black screen.

Then I have to again restart my TV for it to work, sometimes it does other times I will have to clear the cache and then restart my TV for it to work.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this peculiar problem. Nothing comes up on google search.

Your best option right now is to report the issue to the Youtube Feedback website, here's to hope that Google fixes it.

Having the same issue on my X950G, but stuck on the first frame of anything I try to play, even ads. I’m gonna make a warranty claim, I’m also having issues with audio not working in Hulu. Too many issues for a TV.

Maybe you can see if sideloading a third party YouTube app gives you a better result. I use smartyoutubetv since I can select the codec of the videos and that gives me better support for my own ambilight system. You could give it a go ^^.
