my Samsung TV YouTube app is not working from yesterday. It shows all the contents but when playing it is only giving loading animation followed by a black screen. Done reset YouTube app 4 times as well as the TV. But no use. TV model Samsung UA43KU6470. My internet connection is 25 Mbps and there is no problem there. Even YouTube kids app not playing any videos. Amazon prime working fine. Firmware version of the TV is 1231.1 .
I am Adnan from Pakistan. Youtube is playing new codec AV1 on samsung SUHD tv's since yesterday but AV1 is not supported by samsung tv's. Check stats for nerds on youtube while playing videos. The videos which are playing will be in VP9 format.To resolve this issue either samsung gives AV1 support in their youtube app or youtube stops playing AV1 codec for tv's.
I'm also having this issue. Done a smart hub restore as well as a full factory reset. I've never had trouble like this before. Now I can't use the app at all.
Yes, using the statistics option in the Youtube TV App, anyone can check the video codec used in all unplayable videos... it's the AV1 codec.
We REALLY need Samsung to step it up and provide its userbase with an update for the app or a TV firmware adding support for this new codec as soon as possible. About 60% of the videos I try to watch are simply not playing because of this.
I think the problem is solved now. All the videos are playing. And in stats for nerds video codec is showing vp9 and not av1. Just checked this morning. They fixed. Check your TV and reply.
