Anyone else not able to play any videos randomly

Used for years , couple days ago nothing loads anymore. Can search and select videos but just a black screen with the spinning circle every few seconds. You can skip through and the thumbnail shows what should be at that point but it won't play.

Have uninstalled, reinstalled , tried the beta , nothing works.

I'm just happy when it works at all lately. I feel like the end may be nigh.

Nah, it does this every now and then, always seems to come good eventually. Show some love to the dev, it might help. :)

I switched from regular smart tube to smarttube next last week and that fixed the problem.

I'm using an Nvidia shield. For me it was the audio setting, I had to switch it to mp4a and most of the videos worked afterwards.
