Youtube Stream on Samsung SmartTV - Anyone else having issues?

So the first two weeks I was able to stream the LCS on my Samsung smartTV with no issues. The last two weeks when I pull it up it shows me the schedule with a 1 hour countdown that resets every time I try to reload the video. The schedule is the correct schedule for the week/day but that's all it shows.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I can pull it up through youtube on my computer and it works just fine. I'm at a loss for what to do. Totally screwing up my plans to cookout and have the guys over to watch the games this weekend. =[

I have had problems with set top boxes or otherwise with YouTube because the live steams use HTLM5 (adobe flash) and if ur box doesn't have it or not the updated version you can have problems. Best workaround is to connect your computer to your TV but alas that defeats the reason for the "smart TV".

BTW I never really bought into the whole smart TV concept... too little too late.

WEll yes I mean set-top boxes, or in your case, integrated internet with the TV.

If you have a browser you can try to go to the lolesports website directly and see if you can get that to work vs YouTube site. Without knowing the details of the Samsung browser and otherwise IDK how I can provide any more help.

Bottom LIne: Don't try to watch streams on your TV... LoLEsports isn't set up properly to handle it bug-free.
