The situation where Casper TV can't access the Youtube app can be caused by various reasons, and the troubleshooting for each case will differ. Here is a compilation of the causes and solutions for each issue of the TV not accessing Youtube.
1. Application encountering issues leading to Casper TV's inability to access Youtube
This type of cause originates from the software of the application, not any malfunction in Casper smart TV. It could be a Youtube app error, incompatibility with the Youtube app, or a server error on Youtube. The troubleshooting will vary depending on the type of error.
– Youtube app is malfunctioning
The usual cause leading to Youtube app errors is software conflicts from the manufacturer. Once software encounters even a tiny glitch, applications may face issues and become inaccessible.
The safest way to address this issue is to seek help from the manufacturer. Alternatively, users can try resolving it by uninstalling Youtube on Casper TV, waiting for 5-10 minutes, and then reinstalling Youtube using the following steps:
Step 1: Access Settings, select Apps.
Step 2: Choose See all apps, then go to Installed apps/Downloaded apps.
Step 3: Select the Youtube app, choose Uninstall, press OK to finish removing Youtube on Casper TV.
– Youtube app is incompatible
Manufacturers often upgrade Youtube to newer versions, incorporating modern features. If users neglect to update Youtube for an extended period, the outdated app version may not be compatible with newer Casper TV models, resulting in access issues to Youtube.
The simplest solution to address this problem is to uninstall the Youtube app and reinstall the latest version. If accessing the Youtube app remains unsuccessful, users may consider using Youtube via the web.
– Youtube encounters server issues
The cause of this issue is Youtube's server facing problems or technical issues, preventing users from accessing Youtube.
If encountering this situation, the best approach is to wait for Youtube to resolve the issue. You can close the Youtube app for 30 minutes to 1 hour and then access it again later.
2. Casper TV can't access Youtube due to full memory
The reason for the 400 error on your family's Casper Android TV is neglect during usage, leading to a filled Cache memory. This causes the app to freeze, lag, and struggle with accessing Youtube. In such cases, Youtube will display a 400 error.
The solution for the 400 error is quite simple; you can easily address it at home with just two steps:
Step 1: From the main screen of your Casper TV, access the Youtube app and select Settings.
Step 2: Choose Clear Watch History and press the OK button on the screen to delete.
3. Casper TV can't access Youtube due to Internet connection issues
A common reason preventing users from accessing the Youtube app is network instability or issues. To fix this error, troubleshoot and stabilize your family's network connection.
You can attempt to troubleshoot the network by resetting the IP and DNS addresses on your Casper TV following these steps:
Step 1: Use a computer to identify the IP address of your family's Wifi network. Go to Control Panel, select All Control Panel Items, then choose Network and Sharing Center and click on the network you are using to find the network's IP address.
Step 2: Reset the IP address on the Casper TV. Access Network, choose Network Status, select IP Settings, choose manual input, and enter the IP address corresponding to your Internet network.
Step 3: Reset the DNS for the Casper TV. Users can choose automatic or manual DNS settings, then select DNS Server, enter the Casper TV's DNS (shown in the IP Settings section). Press OK to finish the setup.
If unable to resolve, users should contact their network provider for the best troubleshooting support.
