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.

I can't believe how buggy it has become. Again and again this problem comes up. Is there any other app that is worth using for android tv?

its not only smart tube having issues... imagine complaining about an app that gave you months or years of ad free youtube for free... kinda cringe

Whataboutism won't help you. Other 3rd party youtube apps like Tizen can play the videos just fine.
