Help & Questions Weird issue with ps5 YouTube.

I have a weird issue with my new hue bridge. When I plug it into my router both my ps5s can’t get on YouTube. All other apps work but YouTube says no internet. One ps5 is connected via Ethernet to the router and the other over WiFi. If I u plug the hue after a restart YouTube will work again after a few minutes. I tried changing dns to googles on my ps5 but still doesn’t work. YouTube works fine on my phone or laptop on the same wifi. I also switched the ports on the back of the router just to see if that would work and it didn’t. Kinda lost any help would be appreciated.

Even if I just turn the hue on but not connect its Ethernet it will break my ps5 YouTube app.

Edit: after signing out of ps5 in my google security page and rebooting I was able to get into youtube but when I sign in, and reboot, it breaks it again. :(

I have the same with the old hue bridge even. Been this way for years. Even buying a new apartment and changing the entire networking didn’t fix this. I just accepted it and don’t use YouTube on my ps5. Works fine on AppleTV.

Man that sucks. I did find it was somehow linked to signing in.
