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.

Here is a workaround as provided by BMfromV:
1. Download the old version of the firmware. For me it was the version from 24th March 2020 (I took it from https://ipsw.me/product/AppleTV). Be careful in choosing your version of Apple TV!
2. Connect the Apple TV to the computer via a micro-usb cable.
3. Restore the downloaded firmware (for more details https://www.imyfone.com/apple-tv/downgrade-apple-tv/).
4. Disconnect from computer and connect to TV.
5. All data is lost and you need to configure everything from the beginning
Better yet, take it back to the Apple store and tell him to recycle it. Perhaps they will get the idea they’re shooting themselves in the foot with this decision.
THAT'S A DEAD LINK.
WELL SORRY TO SAY, BUT THEY'RE NOT. LOOK UP THE MODEL NUMBER AND FOLLOW THE LINK TO THE FIX OR PATCH. IT'S REALLY NOT DIFFICULT, ONCE YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
MODEL A1427 VERSION: 3,1 https://ipsw.me/download/AppleTV3,1/12H885
USE THIS LINK IT WORKS. I HAVE DONE IT AND I KNOW IT WILL WORK FOR THE ABOVE VERSION AND MODEL OF APPLE TV.
I did restore many time to older versions!
didn’t work!
APPLE PLEASE FIX DAME ISSUES!!!!
really disappointed
Still an issue over a month later. I rolled back my OS but despite me having auto update turned off it decided to update anyway bringing the issue back. This is terrible service from Apple.
Oh and if Apple thinks this is a good way to get me to upgrade to the new ATV they are going to be disappointed. I’m not spending over a hundred pounds just to watch Netflix, YouTube and Prime.
That’s not the idea. They want you to watch Apple TV and buy and rent movies. YouTube, I’m sure is taking a chunk out of this revenue. What I think Apple should do is buy advertising on YouTube.
Agreed. Sent mine in.
Great idea. I just did it. Stated the facts.
Sent mine too.
There’s a thread over at Google about this and it finally got a official response.

Not much but it’s a start.
Apple TV software 7.6.1 was released in the last few days and (drum roll please)... does not fix the issue. : (
No updates for years(?) then we get 7.6 they breaks YouTube and 7.6.1 that doesn't fix things.
Yes. I installed the patch and the problem is still there. Shame on you, Apple!
