My family has 3 different LG OLED TVs 55’-77’ Bs and Cs in two different houses in different countries even and all of them have the same problem - youtube is laggy as hell and most of the time doesn’t work at all. I haven confirmed it yet as I need to trace the network, but I have a theory that the traffic might be routed through some proxy for LD YT app - I can’t explain the extreme lag in any other way. I’m sitting here watching YouTube on my phone over wifi while the TVs are failing to load the same video on same wifi or even Ethernet cable. It’s extremely choppy and fails to load even the video thumbnails and YT menu. I tried everything- restarting the TV and the app, even resetting to original settings - nothing helps.

Initially I thought the TV might be old and not keeping up with the newest Apps, but then even my newest LG which is not even 2 years old has the same problem.
I guess my next TV wont be LG OLED.

Updated today to 1.9.0 and it keeps rebooting every few seconds the white light is flashing, then it stops for maybe 5 seconds. I can connect to ssh and web admin console but it disconnects in about 5-10 seconds and the light starts flashing again. Tried long press on the button for 20 seconds before the power and after - still the same 🤨
