YouTube update for Android TV.

I have a 49X8005C smart tv.  Recently YouTube updated and now I find some videos will not play through the app.  They played fine before the update and they play when I link my smartphone.  It is only a few of them.  They were from old recordings that seemed to have been recorded on VHS tapes then somehow converted if that helps.

Thanks.  It is version 6.0.1.  Is it possible for me to upgrade to version 7.0?


I am afraid not, yet. An announcement about when Android 7.0 is ready for the ATV1 televisons (beginning 2016 and earlier) will be made this autumn. Still this is an issue with the new YouTube app (even if only on Android 6.0.1). Hopefully at Google they won't make us waiting another year to get a (working) update.
