Help me from throwing a brick through my TV. Everything is working except for YouTube TV. YouTube TV is working on my phone. I can cast it to my TV. It’s not working from my TV though. Just a spinning circle. Occasionally I’ll get a frozen picture but usually just black screen.

I’ve cleared all cache and data. Any ideas? There was an auto update today. If it’s not flawless in the morning I’m switching back to fubo.

Uninstall the app, then reinstall it.

It happened to my ESPN app.

We had the same problem with certain apps not working on the fire stick, someone suggested unplugging the router/modem from power for a few minutes then plug them back in. I don’t know why it worked but it did, haven’t had any issues since.

My app wouldn’t work a week or two ago. Deleted and downloaded it again. Worked fine after that

throw a brick at your firestick and get a roku.
Firestick is a piece of shite, and Roku's are far superior.

all these examples y'all are given with the firestick, don't happen on roku's. I've had both for 5 years now. I've had it with the two firetv's i have. I never have issues with the Rokus i have, and two of them are old as shite, and still work better than the firetvs.

You can't sideload on a roku thus it is inferior to a firetv.

This is what fixed my Disney +. OP try this, even if your internet is working just fine with other devices/apps on your TV.

99% of people with streaming boxes don’t side load anything, so it’s not that important.
