Sleep Timer

Yes, the issue is that even if you set it to shut down after 1 hour of inactivity, the Xbox recognizes the open TV app as a running program so even though the TV is off with a sleep timer that app is open and Xbox recognizes that open app as activity so
it will stay on for days and days regardless of what settings you have on your Xbox. Very frustrating!!! If the TV is off that is inactivity right??? With Xbox, no!!! I don't care what your doing, if the TV is off that is inactivity. Thus why I say add a
sleep timer setting or change what Xbox views as inactivity.

YouTube App on XboxOne "Device attached" Not by Owner, Hack?

I was using my xbox one with the Crunchy Roll App, when suddenly The Achievement for attaching/linking a device to youtube App goes off, then the App for Youtube opens and starts playing random videos. I quickly picked up my controller and turned off youtube
and then checked linked apps. There was a Ipad attached. I do not own an Ipad nor do I have something to attach to the App. I removed the app from linked devices. Can someone hack an xbox through 3rd party apps? Should/can I delete youtube app? How can this
happen? It is a brand new xbox one, only myself and my wife have access. Any advice would be appreciated.

When Youtube is in activity, I think that they are no sleep timer, it's only in games or anywhere.Else, try to desactivate the sleeptimer when you go on Youtube, with : option/alimentation/desactivate after... hour of inactivity.

I tried StativeBeatle65's solution and it worked for me!

Open the YouTube app.. Open a video [the YouTube trends video worked for me].. Press A to bring up the video controls... On the far right of that menu, select the CC button. Select Turn Off Closed Captioning. Exit the app. You're done!

This helped me turn off Closed Captioning in NHL Gamecenter on an Australian Xbox.

Try opening a video in the YouTube app. Bring up the video controls and select the CC button on the far right of the control bar... Turn Off the closed captions in that menu. Exit the YouTube app.

That fixed it for me with the same issue in NHL Gamecenter on an Aussie Xbox.
