Troubleshooting

1. Perform Clear Data and Clear Cache for the YouTube app.
   Note: All data associated with this app will be permanently deleted, including files, settings, accounts, databases, etc.
2. Restart the TV using the remote control's POWER button (long press), or unplug the power cord for 2 minutes and then plug it back in again.
   For details, refer to the article How to restart (reset) a Google TV™ or Android TV™?.
   Note: When you restart the TV, it discharges power and deletes any unnecessary data stored in its memory. In most cases, the TV will function normally after the unnecessary data has been cleared.
3. Check for updates to the YouTube app.
   Note: Try Update your apps manually on the linked page.
4. If the issue persists, update your TV software to the latest version to check if it resolves the issue.
