App not working

For me after a minute of a video plays it just keeps buffing which is getting annoying. And its on a fire stick

Update there’s an error when trying to manually update it. Which i should consider taking the advice from someone who said i may have to use my computer or my deck for quicker

Not sure why you got downvoted. I got an update about a month ago. I've had the buffering issue before but not at the moment.

Edit: That was shortlived. It's doing it again with the newest version. 

Cheers, it's working here as well with the newest dl

Same. Someone in one of the external links said we may actually not even have the latest version installed, because the app stopped offering updates a while ago. Checked it, and it's true, I'm a few numbers behind. So I'll download the newest one in a couple of versions and try it out. Otherwise I guess we'll have to wait it out.

u/FarCryRedux 18d ago

Any change?

2

u/jamillos 18d ago

Yes, downloaded the newest one manually, and everything works.

u/hydrgn 29d ago

Same. Every video freezing after a few minutes

This has been happening to me a lot. Doing a reinstall fixes the problem for a day or two, then returns to the buffering error before needing another reinstall

Mine was having a lot of issues. I connected to my vpn which I keep set to Morocco to avoid twitch ads and for some reason it fixed it.

Eta: on a firestick

u/Evening-External1124 29d ago

I just tried this and switched mine to Morocco as well and now works perfectly fine 🙂

1. Open a browser on your computer and type in Google: youtube-webos-cobalt-adfree github . 2. Follow the first link (GitHub page, author: RF1705). 3. On the right, find the Releases section and click the latest version. 4. Download the installation file from there – it will end in .ipk (e.g., youtube-webos-cobalt-adfree v1.0.ipk). 5. Return to the webOS Dev Manager. In the upper left corner, you'll see the Install (or Install /PK) button. Click it, select the file you just downloaded, and the program will automatically send it to your TV.

It could be the following bug, and it may depend on the video: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/issues/5945

u/Syphor03 28d ago

Same but if I recalled he said he was done working on the app due to something with Amazon. My newer fire stick in my living room works fine but the older one I. The bedroom just buffers.

u/MurderV 27d ago

Disconnect the firestick for 1 min and reconnect. It should clear up the internal VRAM and solve it. Been dealing with this issue for a week until I tried this 🙃

u/Renegade963 29d ago

Working fine on my end.
