Hello @supertails22,

 

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand you're experiencing issues with the "Continue Watching" section on your Google TV Streamer and that it's inaccurately showing the second video in a playlist instead of the first and not showing content from several of your apps. I am here to help you troubleshoot these issues and improve your experience.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps we can try that have been successful in resolving delays and inaccuracies:

  • Performance and Accuracy Fixes (for all apps, especially YouTube)
    • Restart the Google TV Streamer:
    • This is the quickest way to clear out minor glitches and refresh the operating system.
    • Go to Settings (gear icon in the top right). —— System —— Restart.
    • If you can't find this, simply unplug the power cord from the Google TV device for one full minute, and then plug it back in.
  • Clear Data for the YouTube App:
    • Since you're having specific issues with YouTube not showing the last video watched, clearing its data can force a complete re-sync with your account.
    • Go to Settings—Apps— See all apps.
    • Find and select the YouTube app.
    • Select Clear cache.
    • Then, select Clear data (you will need to confirm this action). Note: You may have to sign back into the YouTube app after this step.
  • Check for System Updates:
    • Make sure your device is running the latest software, as updates often include stability and performance fixes for the home screen.
    • Go to Settings—System—About—System update— Check for an update.

Please try the steps, especially the restarts and clearing data for YouTube and Google TV Streamer. Let me know if that resolves the slow updating and the specific issues you're having with YouTube's accuracy.

 

Regards,

Kevin

Get Projectivity launcher fom the appstore. It's a bit ugly but works better than whatever sh** Google is trying to push with theirs in the newer versions.
