Hi my TV has suddenly started to display black screen of death when playing youtube videos.
I got KDL46W905. TV and app worked perfectly until recently. Now every third/fourth video freezes my TV and I have to plug/unplug it from the power as it is completely unresponsive.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks.
My TV got a software update this morning - so I was hopeful.... But youtube still crashes (I don't want the black screen - so I don't cast anymore) - I was very naive to think that Sony might actually be helpful - useless....
My 55w905's doing it too after an update. Thought New update a few days ago would sort it but no. Did some googling and it would appear that Google have withdrawn support for YouTube on any device more than a couple of years old. Would appear that TVs older than that don't have enough memory to support the new version. My w905 was only built 02/2014 but because it's an 'older model' it would appear its *** for YouTube. Thanks Sony.
Youtube has been discontinued by Google (not Sony) on TV sets (for any manufacturer) produced till 2011/2012. 2013 models still are a valid device. Nonetheless the app is maintained by Google and it seems that there should be a problem in the latest version. You have to wait for a new release by Google.
hi, my Bravia also has the black screen of doom. i also paired my tv with youtube last week. This must be why its now black. How do i unpair it , im hoping that this will resolve the problem, if i cannot see anthing on my tv?? have checked my youtube settings and its not showing as paired now? Any help getting my TV back would be appreciated.
thanks
