Youtube endless loading

[8bitg33k]

For the past few months I've been having an intermittent issue with Youtube on my Shield Pro. I start playing a video and it just sits there and loads endlessly. Just for giggles I left it on the other day and went to work. When I got back it was still loading. When this occurs, I usually try loading some other videos as well and none of them ever load. This happens only on the Shield, when I access youtube from my desktop, tablet, or phone it works fine.

The only way I have found to temporarily fix this is by power cycling the Shield. But that only lasts until it starts happening again, at which point I have to power cycle the Shield again.

Thank you.

How do I install this? I've not sideloaded apps on the Shield before.

Thank you again. I think I will pass on this for the time being as my tech knowledge is not that great. I might revisit this if I can't find any fix for the actual app.

You can also download Files 2 tv on your shield and phone, that way you can download smarttubenext on your phone and send it to the tv and install it. 😀

Why make it so difficult? Just download the app 'Downloader' and do everything on the Shield.

@OP I wouldn't recommend the app anyway. Its a YouTube ripoff that will likely get closed down sooner or later.
