Apple TV 3rd gen YouTube freezes when pausing video
After an update YouTube freezes when I pause video. The menu doesn't pop up and I need to restart the app every time.
I did reset the device and it didn’t help.

Await several minutes for the update.
Disconnect from the laptop. Reconnect HDMI cable to TV and away you go.

Thanks much for the quick response. I do have update 7.6.2 installed. My Apple TV is a version 3.2 model A1469
I first encountered this issue two days ago when streaming You Tube video on Apple Ipad 2 with IOS 14.3, which needs an update.
My Iphone was updated last night with IOS 14.3 and I just tried streaming to Apple TV device and video did not hang up.
So, hopefully Apple TV 7.6.2 is going to work with an Ipad update. Fingers crossed. Thanks for reply.
I had done all the above but it didn’t seem to work
You couldn't have in less than 3 minutes! Please do the steps outlined in my previous post. This will take at least 10-15 minutes as it takes time for the each component to restart.
Yeah, it did not help
Hey, this is the real solution for this bug?
I tried it too. And didnt work =/
Been having the exact same issue with the 7.6 update. Spoke to apple support, they said they'll make a note to engineering and get back to me. Will update when I hear anything back.
You can keep restarting your modem until the Second Coming, it won't make any difference.
in fact this is not the solution for this problem
Downgrade works
yes but unfortunately disables included corrections in 7.6 update regarding the scheduling of watched episodes =/
I noticed you can actually pause youTube Ads without crashing (fml). And the system will reboot itself after 3-5 minutes.
how can I down grade? I prefer the OS before.
just google the files everytime you need them
Sadly the links provide 404 error. Can Apple look at any other suggestions.
