**Help**

 

My Samsung TV is no longer playing videos whenever I try to access them via websites on the Web Browser within the TV.
UHD9000 series is my TV..
Does anyone have any tips on fixing this?

Please advise..

 

Thanks in advance!

I am having same issue as you guys,, just 2 days ago I was able to watch through the internet brwoser. Last night I wanted to watch my program and the player is no longer working. I have tried everything, clearing cache, unplg the TV,, etc, and nothing seems working. Samsung TVs is full of *****, I should have sticked to my gut and bought LG, much better much faster and more functional. Although, my tv is not that old, I bought it in 2019, just before COVID. What even worse, is that on the box it said 5GHz (wifi) compatible, which is NOT. and it has no bluetooth connectivity, I don't know what 5 years old tv does not do such things, I swear am not advirtising LG, but my older tv (LG) used to have all of these. on top of that, everytime I open the apps screen, it tells me I have no internal memory space and I have to delete apps, and all that apps I personally installed is only 1 app, and the rest are preinstalled and I can not remove them as they are useless.

Is this the same reason I can't play videos from Odyssey, Rumble or Bitchute?

Probably. It's never going to be fixed. Go to retailer and test out sets for the functions you need. If they have no Internet connection to the set in the showroom, just leave. Its like buying a car and the windows won't wind down. A huge fault. Unfixed. Owners deliberately left with missing functionality. Just like all IT systems are eventually redundant, this one was made redundant while still for sale new in the shop. It would work when you first switched on, then a software upgrade would break it forever.

While I am having these issues, I'm pretty satisfied overall with my TV, I have a 65" one, don't know model but everything else is pretty good.  This problem must have something to do with the overall issue of media censorship, as we all know, Google is not only an intelligence asset but they hold a lot of sway over other entities with whom they do business, like TV manufacturers, therefore it would not surprise me in the least if they're not censoring alternative platforms or at least making it hard to view them, as they don't censor content the way Google-owned YouTube does.  By the way, Google was helped with the founders' startup with $$ from the CIA, yes, the CIA.  As for getting another set, I paid nearly $1,000 for this one, so I've gotta get my money's worth before swapping.

Have had this happen a few times the last few years, seems like I had to wait for an update, none available now.  Felt like they were shadow banning certain sites last time as YouTube plays fine.   Be nice to not have to deal with this.  Was buying a 2nd tv and almost bought an LG w web, wish I would have now
