    It constantly pasues videos and the loading symbol comes up :confused:
    It's so hard to watch anything. It's not my connection as I am on a fast upc broadband connection.

    It's getting really annoying. This happen to anyone else?

    Youtube has been bad all afternoon for me on my PC. I'm with UPC too. Same problems as above. It's either a youtube or UPC problem.

    YouTube on anything is slow. It's very video dependant too as I've noticed some videos can load instantly and some takes a while. Weather it's the browser, phone or xbox

    Does it freeze anyone else's console entirely?

    No. All apps on Xbox are slow though.

    Mine freezes a lot when using the youtube app and I have to restart the whole console. It's fine with everything else though.

    Same for me, thought it was my console at fault at first but it only happens with the youtube app.

    Youtube app seems to be the common denominator in freezing our ones then. All other apps work fine, I noticed when searching for a vid if you go quickly from the results page back to search and start typing it will lock up.

    I use the youtube app on xbox quite a bit and never had this problem. I usually let it play random vids while I'm browsing on my laptop.

    the youtube app on xbox is dirt, i use it quite a bit to watch stuff, works fine when something is playing, but will always hang my xbox at some point throughout the day, requiring a power-reset. Also not a fan of having to have a G+ profile setup so you can view you subscriptions and the live streaming is also hit-n-miss. Apart from that its a really great idea
