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
Same here, 7.6.1 hasn't fixed it!
Due to fear of this attitude spreading to other Apple products, I won’t be purchasing an iPhone12 or any other new Apple products until this is issue is corrected.
HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT. APPLE HAS BEEN CENSORING POST HERE.
Good
@doyle871. Ugh that stinks. You do need to disable automatic updates in settings. Do it first thing after roll back. It will ask to update every couple days. Just say no.
Also set the Sleep After to 15 min.
Maybe when this post will reach the length of 100 pages, Apple software developers will consider the possibility that there’s a real big issue and begin to work to fix it...
Apple TV Software Update 7.6.2 is released. Installed it on my Apple TV 3rd gen and the YouTube hanging bug is fixed. Pausing YouTube streams will now show a 'Resume' screen.
HMMM? WHEN WAS IT RELEASED?
Finally, about time!
I can confirm that the latest patch addressed the YouTube issue and now users are able to pause YouTube videos without the Apple TV freezing up and crashing. Good news indeed.
OKAY, I'LL GIVE IT A TRY LATER TOMORROW. I JUST REDID THE OLDER VERSION A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AS I HAD INADVERTENTLY HIT THE UPGRADE UNKNOWINGLY.
Hey it works! Updated to 7.6.2 and no longer crashes when pausing on YouTube. Our long dark collective nightmare is finally over.
hallelujah! I feel like dancing to a crab rave right now, and celebrating David Koch.
Finally, after installing latest update, it works!
I GUESS ALL THE COMPLAIN THAT WE ALL DID, FINALLY PAID OFF ALAS.
