Re: YouTube doesn't work on home Internet
Well, I went away for the weekend and when I returned, the problem has disappeared as it seems to have for others as well. I did contact YouTube last week and was given the same first-line advice on their end as well (restart router, update apps, etc). They said that their engineers couldn't reproduce the problem, and basically offered no solution. However, this morning on my return, all seems to be working well with Youtube, Youtube Music and the Play store. I agree with others that this was probably resolved on the Tmobile engineering side. Hopefully, it does not return.28Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: YouTube doesn't work on home Internet
Thank you everyone! It's good to know that it's not just me. But also sorry that everyone is having this issue. I'm also in Chicago. I've contacted youtube and elevated it to a specialist. They're supposed to contact me in a day or so. I'll also contact T-mobile and recommend we all do the same so the issue is apparent to them. I'll post any significant updates here.30Visto1like0ComentariosRe: YouTube doesn't work on home Internet
Regular YouTube,YouTube music, Google Play. None of the three can download any content over wifi. YouTube videos play exactly 9 seconds then stop with the buffering circle. The interface loads just fine, search, everything is fine until you try to download content. Can't play videos, can't play music, can't completely download apps. It's the craziest thing. Same issue on pixel 3a, Samsung tablet, Motorola phone.40Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: YouTube doesn't work on home Internet
Interesting, thanks. I have the square model KVD21. I should also mention that all the affected devices are using the Android app. I can see the buffer bar load to a specific point and then stop, the video plays to that point, which is usually 10 or 20 seconds, then stops. I haven't been able to reproduce the effect when using the web browser to play YouTube on these same devices.15Visto0likes0ComentariosYouTube doesn't work on home Internet
Anyone else have this problem and/or could offer any solution? When using WiFi with t-mobile home internet, YouTube on my phone, tablet, and wife's phone are barely usable. Nearly all videos stop after a few seconds and then the app just tries to buffer the video with the spinning arrow showing. No amount of waiting will restore the video. If i switch the phone to cellular data the video will start again. Related to this, YouTube smart downloads is continuously active. All of this happens only while using T-Mobile 5g home internet, not on our AT&T internet. This never happens while using cell data connection on the phone (T-Mobile is not our cell carrier). It also doesn't happen with any other streaming device, Roku, computer, etc, or any other streaming service, Disney, prime, etc. Download speeds are extremely high. That's not the problem.6.4KViews7likes31Comentarios
