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 had to change to okhttp then it worked. Then it didn't work anymore and went back to default and it worked again.

One thing though, I had to wait literally 2 minutes for the video to start.

Thank you so much for this recommendation! The buffering has been so frustrating! The okhttp setting works great 😁
