Although these actions should reset my YouTube app, I still saw the same recommendation screens when I hovered over the app icon.<\/p>\n<h2>How I fixed the issue of YouTube app not able to launch on my Samsung Smart TV<\/h2>\n<p>Since the Smart TV is a black box for me, the next step that I did to debug the issue was to try other Apps. Although the Netflix App was useable, the internet browser was not. Given that, I came to the conclusion that the real issue was the internet connectivity of my Samsung TV.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I proceeded to disconnect the wireless connection of my TV. When I tried to connect my TV to my home's wireless network, I was prompted to enter the password again. After my TV had connected successfully with my wireless network, I was able to use my YouTube app again.<\/p>\n\n      <ul id=\"social-sharing-buttons-list\">\n        <li class=\"facebook\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp245TQ-vY\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/Facebook.png\" alt=\"Facebook icon\"> Share\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li class=\"twitter\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp245TQ-vY&via=Techcoil_com\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/Twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter icon\"> Tweet\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li class=\"linkedin\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=1&title=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp245TQ-vY&source=https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/linkedin.png\" alt=\"Linkedin icon\"> Share\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li class=\"pinterest\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techcoil.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F1982&description=\" class=\"pin-it-button\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" count-layout=\"horizontal\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/Pinterest.png\" alt=\"Pinterest icon\"> Save\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After connecting my iPhone to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?k=samsung+smart+tv&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss&#038;linkCode=ll2&#038;tag=clivsperswebs-20&#038;linkId=0f4abab3b6cdb3a1a67554561f6b6518&#038;language=en_US\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung Smart TV<\/a> via Chromecast, I accidentally powered off my TV with the remote. <\/p>\n<p>Since the YouTube app was playing when I accidentally switched off my TV with the remote, something got screwed.
