streaming video reports of the latest Roku OS update

causing the YouTube TV app to freeze
after several minutes of use. In a tweet
spotted by Gizmodo, an official YouTube
support account said Google was aware
of the issue and working on a potential
solution.

“Sorry to hear about this — just to clarify,

are you having this issue on Roku? If yes,
we’re already aware of this issue, and our
team is currently working on a fix,” the
account said. “We’ll let you know as soon
as we receive an update. Let us know if
it’s something different.”

At the moment, it’s unclear if the bug is

the latest development in the ongoing
feud between Google and Roku. Back in
April, the two started publicly accusing
one another of attempting to renegotiate
their distribution deal in bad faith. When
we reached out to Google, the company
pointed us to the above tweet without
offering any additional context. We've
also reached out to Roku for comment.

As 9to5Google points out, what makes

the situation worse is that one potential
workaround to the problem doesn’t
exist. Normally, in situations like this one
you might uninstall the affected app and
reinstall it to see if that fixes that
problem. That hasn’t been possible since
Roku pulled the YouTube TV app from
its store back in April.
