AppleTV, suddenly not able to load youtube videos that used to play.

Apple TV on youtube app, had lot of favorite (meaning which were played before) music videos. suddenly stopped ,not being able to load. Reset to factory settings, updated software, tried disconnecting and reconnecting hdmi cables, still not loading. Many other youtube videos on its home page still play , but the videos mostly music, when on "search" option of appleTV youtube app, lists them,however when selected to play, not able to load anymore with the error "Error Loading Content". The same video, an iphone can search in safari on youtube site, and can be airplayed from iphone to appleTV. the same videos were played without issues until two days before from AppleTV.

Hello, we have the same problem (we are watching from the EU).

3rd generation Apple tv A1469.


For over 3 days, there are more and more videos can not be played.

Tried to update software, but the same videos can not be played.

"There was a problem during loading this content. Try later".

It seems, there are some chanells, whose videos are blocked.

Advertisement videos are played, then comes the error sign.

I have the same issue, it works fine on all iPads on my phone, but will not load on my Apple TV, on TV, I have numerous playlists with music videos, some very old, some new, and I cannot get any to work. Went through the troubleshooting and it is still ‘ An error occurred loading this content’ try again later.

I am so anxious to find the fix for this, especially with this home isolation, I would love to have my videos back.

I have the same issue.

I spoke today to the tech support they have no idea why it started to come up. It looks like there's a problem with the last update software. When the new one will come out they have no idea. It would be awesome to have a button to downgrade to previous version. But they don't have it. So it looks like we just have to wait until the new version will come out.

Two Apple TV HD ( 3rd Gen) auto-updated to firmware ver 7.5. When I try to watch music videos youtube content ( ie T Series ) it always pops an error that "error loading, try again later" It was working before. I think new version screwed up certain youtube content. I already resetted, rebooted and factory resetted the Apple TV HD but same issue. Most US content seems to load fine. International content like t-series videos are not loading ? Strange but it seems that something changed in the last firmware upgrade ???!


It would be nice to downgrade the firmware to previous level.

It is not youtube that changed anything. Its Apple Firmware that broke it. So Apple should fix it, not Youtube ?!!!!! Can you imaging imbeciles releasing major firmware release worldwide to break functionality of apps ?! The "trailers" app is also not working anymore.


It seems that this going on for almost close to 10 days ! From the very minute the Firmware 7.5 was released.
