YouTube videos freeze after in-video ad tries to load.

[Alex Wetzel]

Whenever a video ad pops up in the middle of a video, the video freezes and the ad doesn't load. The only solution I've found is reloading the video and watch from the beginning. Anyone else having this problem who can offer any assistance?

Try emptying the cache from your YouTube app. If it doesn't help, reinstalling might help.

I can't uninstall it since it is a system app.

Press and hold app -> drag to 'app info' -> press 'disable'

I've done that as well, and videos still occasionally freeze. However, I updated the app last night, which helped with the freezing somewhat. It's less frequent now.

I've noticed that the video will freeze only when I'm watching a video in 1080p60.
