YouTube app constant judder in 4k video on Series X

You may have to uninstall the app, Clear local saved games and the MAC address and then install the app again. Is it all 4K videos or just specific ones?

I dont think uninstall the app will solve the problem . I already thinked about a possivle bug on youtube app on xbox one x so i had a ideia of downloading 1 youtube video on my computer , copy to my external HDD NTFS and run it via media player app . First
time i run it didnt freeze a single time during the whole video then i run other 1 (a old 4k video that allways worked fine) after that i run the downloaded video again but this time it freeze like it does on youtube app . This prove the Xbox one X is having
a hard time rendering the video and is nothing wrong with the youtube app it does the same on media player via USB .

Here a link of 1 youtube video that does that.

this concern just started almost a week ago and its doing it on channels I have watched that have been 4k 60 for a while now, the xbox one x is fully capable of driving 4k60fps videos, the youtube app was updated I think earlier this year to support 4k
videos as it was limited to 1080p on consoles. You can manually select 4k but it doesn't show what framerate its running at unless you click on stats for nerds and the 4k videos will either be 4k 24p 30p or 60p.

I have my first Xbox ever for about 1 month and im already havings issues with it . My Xbox one X while playing some 4k videos on Youtube app randomly freezes the picture in the video and keep it grey or greenish for
a few secs while audio keep playing . I have been trying a few videos and looks like the 4k videos that do this are recent the oldest video that i had the freezing issue was uploaded 4 weeks ago .
This freezing issue is very anoying . Im looking for solution , theres anybody else having this issue ? Is my Xbox one X faulty ?

UPDATE 1 : I can say the Xbox one X is struggling reason why if go to advance settings in a video on youtube APP and wait the freeze grey /green screen happean i see
on dropped frames go up 100 to 500 dropped frames (depending for how long the video freeze) .

UPDATE 2 : I already thinked about a possivle bug on youtube app on xbox one x so i had a ideia of downloading 1 youtube video on my computer , copy to my external HDD
NTFS and run it via media player app . First time i run it didnt freeze a single time during the entire video (video 4 min long) then i run other VIDEO (a old 4k video that allways worked fine) after that i run the downloaded video again but this time it
freeze like it does on youtube app . This prove the Xbox one X is having a hard time rendering the video and is nothing wrong with the youtube app it does the same on media player via USB .

UPDATE 3: 3 days ago i try run it again on media player via USB but for my suprise i was able to run it 3 times (2 in a row) without a single freeze . It
seems the Xbox One X struggles less on Media player .

UPDATE 4 : I power cycle once a day my xbox one x , i really need that ppl let me know if this happean on their Xbox one X aswell , only that
way i can know if my Xbox One X is factory defected . Once again old 4k videos before decembre 7 2018 work fine .

I've had the issue since before the November update (I was hoping it would fix it) . However , when the video would freeze up , the sound keeps on playing . It looks like you had a dying video card or corrupted driver on a pc . Pushing any button on the
remote will bring it out immediately . It's worse on new 4k 60p videos , but will also happen with 4k videos at 30 and 24p . Watching the same videos (except the 60p) on my S model plays just fine . Also , sometimes 1440p videos trip it too . I tried watching
a year old video & it tripped there too . YouTube won't answer & the last posting I was on here was closed by Xbox without warning .

Thanks brad but this is not the case these videos play fine on all other devices i own in 4k from other youtube apps.

Hi Raven,

This is most likely a YouTube issue. Some videos may not be able to run 4K which will cause distortion etc.

Google has started using a different encoding format on YouTube. YouTube videos are ow VP9 encoded and not HEVC. Also, Google has been deliberately throttling videos on some devices, and I won't be surprised Xbox be one of those, based on the fact they
don't release their apps for Windows ecosystem.

I don't think this is a hardware problem but Google needs to update the YouTube app. When you downloaded the video to the USB it would still be VP9 encoded.

I'm not saying that all VP9 videos will not work, but it depends whether they were encoded properly and the amount of throttling being done by Google.

If the youtube videos are not encoded properly then why all 4K videos (inclued HDR videos) on my Smart TV Youtube app work perfectly fine ?

Can you please try a few recent 4k videos in your Xbox One X and tell me if they work fine to you ?

PPL dont even tell me if they work fine on their console or not , what a nightmare im having with this console ...
