@cell I've noticed this happen in NewPipe as well; some videos struggle to buffer adequately regardless of quality setting. Up to now I've been using Invidious instances since they seem to be unaffected by the issue.
@thatbrickster invidious sometimes works for age-restricted videos that youtube-dl refuses to load, i wonder if yt-dlp also fixes those
it's quite disturbing how much breaking changes youtube introduces, then again it's not like it's a officially supported thing so kudos to all the devs of both the official project and the forks for keeping up with all the bs
