As Flash changed smart tvs don't keep up so it's the same old story (that is, folk have been asking for a better smart tv browser for over 5 years now.)
So yup, you can't use the smart tv for this. If your TV has the YouTube app, that works better.
Hello, Smart TV UE65HU8500. Can anyone help as why my TV has stopped displaying all web based video correctly? Never been a problem before but all of a sudden YouTube videos, film streams etc don't play anymore. You can hear the sound but the picture now has a scrambled appearance.
Thanks
