YouTube app bug - controller use only??

Last night I started having a lot of issues with YouTube failing to open or attempting to open, crashing, then restarting. Decided to just shut down after a few tries and didn't start up my Xbox One until today.

When I started up today, first of all, it wasn't in "instant-on" mode (even though I have this enabled). Then, after I had a chance to start YouTube, I thought it was freezing up since the media remote wasn't responding to button presses, however, after
turning on one of the controllers, I found that the controller managed to navigate the app just fine.

Wondering if this is getting fixed anytime soon, since I prefer to use my media remote for everything outside of playing actual games.

youtube app bug?

I must have been lucky, the 360 app ran fine for me.

 

youtube app bug?

I've been having major issues with YouTube freezing at random times when playing a vid.

Also streaming films from the market place are unwatchable as they constantly do the same thing. The Twitch app does the same. I haven't done a huge amount of online gaming yet though.

The only way I can get them to resume is to go to settings and check the network connection, go back to the app and they usually resume. Then freeze again at a random interval.

I've played with all the settings on my router (BT home hub 4, 40mbs download speed), added the Xbox One to the DMZ and it hasn't made a bit of difference.

As an experiment, before ringing Microsoft, last night I tried a wired connection through a wifi extender that I use elsewhere in the house. Worked flawlessly.

So unless anyone has other suggestions, it appears to me that my Xbox 's wifi has an intermittent fault. In two minds how to deal with this. Trying to get a repair or replacement prior to Xmas may be difficult, or do I go and buy some decent home plugs.
I was so annoyed that I reordered a PS4 yesterday. Won't get that for Xmas either

 

I notice YouTube had a update a few days ago and after the update the media remote no longer controlled the screen. I also prefer to use the media remote for all functions except gaming. I am highly disappointed that the YouTube app can not be controlled
by the media controller. I am trying to use the Xbox one as a entertainment center and part time gaming and this is one more strike against the entertainment function, In entertainment mode I REFUSE to use the huge odd shaped game controller.
