Bug - Saying “Youtube” no longer launches Youtube app.

This has been happening intermittently for a little bit now.

now it looks like a permanent bug.

Saying “Youtube” always used to launch the YouTube app.

Now it opens to a page with a description of YouTube.

Bug that needs to be fixed.

X1 4k box.

Can’t we just talk here so others can see the resolution if you have a resolution?

i think the resolution would be to let the developers know about this bug, unless they already know.

This shouldnt require any of that. Can you just let someone know YouTube voice command is broken?

I too started experiencing this bug recently.  In addition, I used to be able to use the remote's keypad to spell out the first few letters of "Youtube" to open the app as well, but that stopped working at least a month ago.

With the loss of the keypad method and now voice control, the only option I've found to open the app is to press the XFINITY button on the remote, scroll over to the APPS menu and hit ok/enter, then scroll down to Youtube and hit ok/enter.

The ironic part is that, once the app opens, you still get the temporary tip at the top of the screen that reads: "Next time, try saying "Youtube" into your voice remote to open the app" (or something to that effect)...

@bjh_21 Yep same exact thing here.

Surely at least one developer has to use Yotube on the X1 and notice this.

One boss or manager.

anyone.

Same thing, though with Netflix instead of YouTube. Very annoying, hopefully someone at Xfinity reads these things.
