YouTube on Sky Q "loading" after pausing..

[justinp76]

We have the same issue, it's incredibly frustrating! I have tried refreshing the apps, have spoken with Sky however, the problem is still there!!!! 

[Razzle+berry]

Same issue, can't pause youtube without it loading and freezing! So annoying 

[AndyCazza]

So why is this still happening? Do Sky even look at these messages? Come on, Sky, sort it out! 

[Jaxx25]

Well it clearly isn't just me 😅

Yeah it's still a problem with no fix in sight.

Of course, if you remember, you can simply tap the rewind button by one step before resuming your video and it'll be fine. But we shouldn't have to do that..

And for the person who said it doesn't happen on adverts....have you ever tried rewinding a Sky ad? Next time one ends, try rewinding it, playing it midway through. Then fast forward past it to the next ad, then rewind again.. you might notice it glitches out a bit (screen freezes while playing sound, or playing video from one ad and the sound from another), but do that a few times and you'll notice that the Sky ad changes to a completely different advert... It's as if Sky are overwriting other product ads with their own. 🤔

I noticed it when I tried rewinding the one with David Beckham in so I could Shazam the music from it, but it wouldn't let me cuz.....Sky.

Semi related, does anyone elses remote randomly stop responding? All buttons except the volume buttons that is. Come on, sky. You're better than this.

Anyway I hope this is all fixed soon 🤦🏻

Yeah have to reset the box for the remote to start working again, but doesn't happen too often 

[Jaxx25]

True, true..

I usually just give it a minute and it fixes itself, still annoying though..

Apparently you can change your remote so all buttons use IR like the volume buttons, and that'll likely fix that problem entirely but I like being able to use it without pointing it at the TV.. and like you said, it doesnt happen too often..

Sky serve ads dynamically

No, my remote works fine.

I've had this happen tonight.  Google search linked me to a similar problem on sky community.  Long story short : log out of YouTube on sky and either log in with a new account or as in my case log in with hubby's account.

Immediate fix. No idea how.

[jblink]

I am not and never have been logged in.  I will try logging in and see if the issue goes away.  

[jblink]

Should have added....

when I first had the problem I reloaded the app and the problem went away for a few days.  So will be really interested to know if the new account option lasts.  

either way it is ridiculous we pay so much money to sky and they can't be bothered to solve the problem. I have multiple other devices that do not suffer this, only sky.  So it is a sky implementation problem

[jblink]

And finally....

in response to "why don't you use another device?" (E.g SkyQ mini attached to smart TV)...... a) convenience and b) why should I have to? 🤔

Same issue but only in the last few days I've refreshed the apps, reset settings, even did the 001 it did nothing to help, it plays for awhile then pauses and loading appears then nothing happens just a paused video, YouTube works fine on my phone and on my ipad I don't have any problems, also why should I have to rewind the video, there shouldn't be an issue, like this, why is this happing, I've been watching YouTube threw my sky Q box for years, it only started a few days after a power faliure, please fix this so I can watch my videos!.

[J9mcdb]

By way of update: I have now logged out of hubby's YouTube account and back in to my own and it is back to working fine again. Just to dot i's and cross t's I unplugged the lot. TV, sky box, broadband, soundbar and left them for 5 mins before turning back on so everything is now refreshed. So far so good 👍

I am also having YouTube issues, have been for several months, although mine is more when I am just scrolling through the available videos and the rail freezes for a few moments before showing a black screen and kicking me out.

I have also been through all, the usual steps of resets, refreshes power downs etc. Using another profile doesn't prevent any freezing.

I can use another device,  but like others, would like to see this sort of stuff get fixed properly.

Evening all,

We've noticed a few recent comments on this thread but the replies are a bit vague on the exact issue you are having, could you explain a little more on what's going wrong?

Is the issue you are having is YouTube is pausing on it's own mid video?

Or, are you pausing your YouTube and unpause isn't working?

or, something else?

Please let me know so I can engage the right folks 😊
