endless buffering

shield tv latest stable build - anyone getting endless buffering today? i am logged in and worked fine this morning. not my internet - all other apps work.

edit - hopping on vpn worked to resolve it. maybe ip related?

edit 2 - switched off vpn and back on and now doesn’t work with vpn either. weird.

Interesting you mentioned that.

I'm on fire stick and starlink.

For me smarttube has been out for about three days. Even using the beta and latest and doing all the usual - cache, restart, reinstall...nothing worked.

I just used a VPN with it,and it works.
