apple TV Youtube app TVOS18 issues

I contacted Apple support today and they said it was an issue with YouTube itself and recommended contacting them. I then did a chat with YouTube support and they don't have any known record of this issue. They told me to report the issue through the YouTube app on the device I am having issues with, so I opened YouTube on my AppleTV, scrolled all the way down to the bottom settings button (small gear ⚙️ icon) and went to feedback. You can select “not skipping forward/backward. Then hit send.

I will update if and when I hear back from them, but I encourage everyone here to report the issue through this same steps.

thanks

Yes, I am having the same issues of not being able to skip forward/backward with the remote in YouTube app (Not YouTube TV). There is not much info on this issue, but I did come across one other person stating it only is occurring on their Premium account. Sure enough, I have a premium account as well and when I switched to a guest account, I am able to skip both directions. So apparently it is affecting only premium accounts. I cannot find a fix or much discussion on this currently. Hopefully something will be updated soon

This just started happening on my Youtube profile on my older Apple TV 4k. I do not have YT Premium. Definitely profile-related, my other users are able to scrub just fine, only my profile. My other Apple TV with the new remote can do forward and rewind 10 seconds, but still no scrubbing. SMe with using the iOS Remote app.

*UPDATE*

As of 11/18/24, my YouTube is now working properly on my Premium account. As stated in my prior replies, I did send feedback through the AppleTV app. I am optimistic YouTube saw my request and fixed the issue.

Again, I encourage all to send their request through the YouTube app.

Hopefully this encourages hope for all those who are having the similar issue

I am having the same problem. If I log out of my account it works fine. This is ridiculously frustrating.

Same problem. I have YT Premium also.
