Windows 10: Screen goes black seconds into streaming video from ANY service (TV on demand, Youtube,...

Every time i watch a video now from any streaming service, the screen goes black. This happens whether it is full screen or not. It is fine until the time/play bar at the bottom of the video disappears. Once that goes away, which is usually a few seconds into viewing, the whole screen goes black but I can hear the video still playing. The only way to stop it happening is to constantly move the mouse so the time bar doesn't disappear. This happens on youtube and every streaming site i use from New Zealand. I've turned off every screen saver and screen sleep setting I have but it still happens. Can anyone shed some light onto this issue? I use google chrome a my browser.

Blurry video on YouTube TV - Roku

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



Generally, the video frame buffer is separate from the UI graphics framebuffer, so the video shouldn’t be doing any unnecessary scaling before the final image is output. This is a known issue with the YouTube TV app on Roku.



However, you can overcome this behavior by doing the steps listed below:

• Play a video and while the video is playing press
  Home on the remote.
  
• Launch YouTube again, it will stop loading and go back to the home screen.
  
• Launch YouTube again, the video should play with better clarity now.
  

If the issue persists, you may get in touch with the Roku Support.



Regards,

 

I can't get a video to stream to my lg smart tv in full screen , it's playing full screen on the pc no problem

Hi Steve,

To assist you better, I like to know; how exactly you are trying to stream video from your PC to LG Smart TV?

As an initial step, I suggest you to try updating the display adapter on your system.

Follow the below steps:

• Click on the Start button, and type Device Manager on the search bar.
• Open Device Manager, expand Display Adapters.
• Find and double-click Display Adapters from the left panel to update.
• Right-click the device, and click Update.

As you are able to play the video full screen in your PC, then it might be an issue related to LG Smart TV. I suggest you to check for the LG Smart TV manual and check what all settings need to done to play video in full screen.

Kindly reply to us, with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
