YouTube app on Xbox Series X lag/freezing video

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.

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 .

I am have an audio lag on YouTube TV series X

To answer your question, I don't know if they read user comments. The community of Xbox users often seem more helpful that official staff.

-Rewinding and fastforwarding causes the updated YouTube app to buffer or freeze. We're all experiencing that.

-Video sometimes isn't as clear, and video or audio randomly shudders or lags. We're all experiencing that.

-The video suggestions are nice, but Recently Viewed and other features are either missing or hidden among the app suffering from Andriod-itis. We're all experiencing that.

-There is no indication if videos are HD or not anymore. We're all experience that.

Might I add I can watch YouTube videos in the highest picture quality with no lag the issue is only in the download speed and Xbox store/ certain apps.
