YouTube App broken. Tried everything!

Hello!

I have installed, reinstalled, power cycled, recovered my profile, etc etc

But nope!

I click YouTube, it snaps full screen. with the big shiny white logo on the red background...

But then it just fails to load/open. And zooms out/goes back to the dashboard with the YouTube app in the center panel.

It has not opened once. Ever.

At the moment I am resorting to using internet explorer, and zooming the screen in!

HELPPPPPP

cant find any suppoer threads, or helpful answers anywhere

Thanks

Youtube app problems

My brother cant even go onto his youtube its been broken for about 3 months now... Tried everything no fix.

 

Youtube app on Xbox 360 displaying error message. "Sorry, Youtube isn't available Right now..."

The youtube app on my xbox 360 has been displaying an Error message as stated above. I've tried everything. I've restarted the console, redownloaded the app, waiting for a few hours and nothing has worked.

 

Yes its the Xbox One App, sorry for late reply. It just goes full screen, then goes black, and backs me out to the dashboard

 

I guess if I would look at what forum you posted in I would know that... Sorry about that I know that you said you've tried all of these steps, but sometimes the order is important. Try uninstalling, holding the Xbox logo on your console until it powers
down, unplugging the power cable from the console for 2 minutes (at least, longer won't hurt), rebooting, and then reinstalling the app.

 

yeah honestly tried everything lol, in all different orders!

 

Am I the only person in the world that this has happened too :O perhaps its a problem with my HDD?

 

My app gives a network unavailable error and tells me to exit. I have tried...

- factory reset

- reset router

- reinstall several times

No fix as of yet.

Hi mate i have the same problem none of my apps connect to the internet 4od, bbc iplayer, NOW tv all say something stupid like "oops sorry we cant seem to connect" its really annoying me i have also tried "hard reboot, app reinstall and router reset im
not resorting to factory reset because forza 5 takes enternities to donwload and i bet it wont even work its a softwae glitch must be XBOX UPDATE YOUR SHAMBLES OF A SOFTWARE STOP IGNORING THE PEOPLE FUNDING YOUR CONSOLE

 

Strangely enough i went home wednesday night just bought fifa installed it then went home screen now all my store pins are showing up and all my Apps are working finally i don't now who saw what or what happened but its fixed

 

Do you have an external drive attached? If so, is the app loaded onto that drive? If it is then try moving it to the main hard drive to see if that improves performance.

James,

I have had this happen a few times, (in addition to Youtube spontaneously starting while I was watching TV). It can be extremely frustrating as it seems to either happen all the time or too unpredictably to recognize any sort of pattern. I haven't really
found a "solution" per se... But in my own particular case, I have seemed to narrow it down (after ruling out the power cycle/hard boot/reinstall etc routine). Here's what I have... Maybe it will help.

Seemed to only occur when:

1) I was connected to XBOX Live via my WIFI network (which allows Youtube as well as the Xbox dashboard to be controlled with a mobile device/tablet).

2) While I had XBOX ONE SMART GLASS enabled in the Settings >> Preferences menu.

3) I had the XboxOne YouTube app PAIRED with my mobile device so that I was able to search for videos on my phone and play them on the TV. (Similar to the "Youtube Remote" mobile app)

Or all of the above.

The minute that I removed Youtube pairing with my mobile device and made an effort to turn off smart glass whenever I was not actively using the app, all of my major issues with YouTube on the XB1 suddenly stopped, aside from the occasional crash. I believe
it's related to the ability to control/pair Youtube via mobile device (which I would assume is in-turn related to having multi-device control over your Xbox dash and apps via connecting to the same Wi-Fi network).

Be advised: I'm no tech support guru or any type of expert in any sense of the word, so the best I can offer is what I experienced and worked for me. Hopefully it leads you in a direction that will provide your own solution. Either that or my nonsensical
ramblings will cause you further frustration and result in a sledgehammer being taken to all electronics within a 100ft radius (though I would advise against it) HAHA! If I draw any further conclusions on the issue, I'll be sure to post an update, otherwise
I hope this helped in some way.

Hang in there bud,

Just talked with my son, and he said it did work for him at one point them after an xbox update it stopped working. We tried to disable the smartglass and that had no effect unless we need to power cycle the xbox after the change.
