Apple TV freezing after update

Just updated my Apple TV 3rd gen A1469 to 7.6, when I noticed that pausing a YouTube video freezes the UI and makes the Apple TV reboot.

Any Help?

The ball is Apple’s court. This is a known bug! They broke our Apple TV’s and with over 500 replies they need to fix this. Many podcasters have been reporting the same issue. So seems like a universal problem. Does any real person from Apple monitor these forums?

I made the decision to buy nothing from Apple as fare as DVDs and music. But over time due to convenience I have.


I just did that again, and bought a music dvd. Guess what ?...it stops and start just like the movie(s) we rented last weekend.


As I type it happened three times. A 5, 10, up to 15 second pause where the screen freezes. Then sometime it does a speed up thing, it fast forwards to catch up.


*****.


We pay for this and we can not get the content we paid for off Apple in a way we can use it independently.


I'm setting up my own NAS sever, with a media sever and will buy all my own copies at Walmart or where ever and stream it to our home TV or computers. Will only use Apple TV as last resort!
