I'm not convinced this is a Humax software issue, but instead something YouTube/Google may be able to ressolve without any update to the box.
As the back and stop buttons were unresponsive you could still goto the YouTube menu by selecting the home icon using the circular pad, but last night I found that the home icon has been replaced by Like/Dislike icons instead so unless your using a mobile device navigating is practically useless.
If they're able to make changes to the UI easily from their end then I see no reason as to why this may not be the cause of recent navigation issues too, especially as all free time boxes experienced the same issues at exactly the same time.
One thing I would love to know is , How do you inform YouTube/Google of these technical issues?

I've not been able to test myself yet, but apparently the non responsive remote issues have been fixed.
Is anyone able to confirm if this is so?

I have just checked and Back button is working. Down button is working. And there is a big improvement on the Video playback.

I've had a few different problems with you tube playback. Sometimes I get black screen, other times I get message playback error Adobe flash player required. Sometimes powering the box down solves the problem
Anyone else had this? Just trying to determine if this is a common software issue or my box

Hello,

We've just set up our 1010S today. For the most part it's absolutely great, but the Youtube channel has a somewhat irritating tic - specifically it keeps flashing the word "Loading..." across the screen whenever you watch anything. Picture quality's fine, it doesn't stop or stutter, and other on demand services work without problem. It's a pretty minor issue, but renders Youtube too irritating to watch via the box. Any ideas how to make the message disappear? Or do we have to wait for an update?..

Thanks!

Yes I can confirm that this has just started happening in the last week. The loading message used to popup occasionally but now it is constantly on the screen. Also a lot of videos are not playing anymore too.

Very frustrating! If I switch to my Playstation and use YouTube on their it all works perfectly, so it's hard to deduce what is causing the problem.

Yeah I've noticed 'loading' has been flashing much more frequent than it used to.
I guess we've just got to wait for the next update, but I'm wondering if this is something YouTube/Google can fix at their end as they do seem to be able to change how it works remotely as they did recently with the function buttons.
It would be nice if someone from the Freesat team could let us know whether or not YouTube/Google are aware of this issue or not and is there an impending fix or not.

There's now an on screen message when you open the app warning of disruption.
