How to update YouTube on DEXP TV?

Every Internet user knows what YouTube is. Today this video hosting can rightfully be called one of the most popular, if not the most popular. There are many reasons for this, for example, the platform is absolutely free and gives access to all available content to any user, provides the ability to upload your own videos to the network and even make money on it. In addition, despite its popularity, the brand continues to develop rapidly and supports all modern platforms. But what if the application stops working correctly on your model?

Before solving a problem, you need to understand its causes. In the case of YouTube, there may be several.

• There may have been any errors or changes on the service, due to which the program may not work correctly on some TVs.
• Old models over time, they are no longer supported by many popular services, and YouTube is no exception. As of 2017, the app can no longer be used on TVs released before 2012.
• Problems with the device software do not allow the application to start correctly. This is an infrequent but fairly straightforward problem to solve.
• Because of disagreements of some companies with YouTube policies, in the official stores of some brands, the application may disappear altogether.
• Technical failures on servers and other problems of the program do not require any intervention from the user. Usually, such incidents are resolved quite quickly, but they can temporarily restrict the user's access to the service.

For example, you can find out that YouTube has stopped supporting your TV model by the pop-up window that appears when you try to enter the service. If you are simply not connected to the servers and not a single video will turn on, obviously the problem is completely different.

Installing and configuring YouTube on a DEXP TV is simple and straightforward. All you need is directly your TV and internet connection. If you bought a brand new TV with a pre-installed program, or if you want to set it up on your old Smart TV, the algorithm is about the same.

First, you need to uninstall the old version of the program. This can be done by entering the main menu of the Play Market, and from there - to the section "My Applications". The screen will display a complete list of applications that you have ever installed on your devices. Find the YouTube icon among them and click on it. The application page will open. Click on the "Remove" button and confirm the removal of the application.

After you click on it, the installation of the application will start. After its completion, the name of the button will change to "Open". You can run the application. Usually, the steps described above are sufficient to resume work. The program will automatically configure more precise settings after launching the application. If not, and you still cannot get access to hosting, it is worth taking a deeper solution to the problem.

It would seem that this question could be given a simple and clear answer - to accept, but this is not at all what you would like to hear. In addition, there are several more options for how to cope with the problem.

Sometimes this way helps literally give new life to the application. Go to the TV menu through the "Home" menu and select the "Applications" section (it may be called differently). In the list that opens, find YouTube and click on it. The button "Clear data (cache)" will be located under the application icon. Click on it and agree to the deletion by clicking "OK". The method is relevant not only for TVs running the Android system, but also in other operating systems, where it may differ slightly.

Despite the fact that back in 2017, the service stopped supporting TVs released before 2012, there is a solution for their owners. And although the use of the official application is no longer possible, there is still a way out. The easiest and fastest way is to connect your smartphone or any other gadget to TV, from which the video will be broadcast. In addition, you can also spend money on a new Android set-top box or even watch videos through a browser. However, all this is expensive or inconvenient, but there is a universal way that will save you in such a difficult situation.

1. Download the YouTube widget to your computer or laptop.
2. Take a blank USB stick and create a YouTube folder on it.
3. Unpack all the contents of the archive you downloaded into this folder.
4. Now insert the USB stick into the TV and launch the Smart Hub app.
5. YouTube appears in the list of apps you can use. It remains only to launch it with a simple click.

Solving the problem with the health of applications on a smart TV is much easier than it might seem at first glance. All that is needed for this is just a little logical thinking. Unfortunately, not all causes can be eliminated on your own. If the problem arose from the side of the service itself, you still have to wait for its recovery.
