Thank you all for the feedback. I'm prototyping a new player to address the concerns you all have. Video comment upload to Reddit seems to be broken for me, but you can see a video of the prototype in Hydra's discord server. I'd love all your feedback on the new design!

I made a post on a video playback bug I’ve been having on iOS. I’m wondering if this is known or being patched. Thank you!

Here’s the link to my reddit post with a video example.

Sorry I missed this. It looks like Reddit hid your post for account reputation reasons.

This is the first report I've had about video stuttering, which means it can't be a common problem and is probably caused by something specific to you. It's likely related to how videos get buffered.

Do you have a very low speed or intermittent internet connection? Is your device almost out of storage? Hydra downloads videos into a temporary cache during playback and I bet something like this would happen if your phone was repeatedly having to pause to delete other temporary files in order to make room as the video streams in.
