    This seems to be a problem with every third-party YouTube client. NewPipe, LibreTube, and Piped all have the same issue for me. They desperately need better buffering logic. I suspect Google is doing something on their end to make this harder than it needs to be.

      As far as I remember, if the client does not say “hello” in a proper way, YT will limit the bandwidth to the point it’s unwatchable. It sometimes affect NewPipe and Kodi.
