[SOLVED] YouTube app constant buffering

Great thread! I just started experiencing this buffering problem out of the blue today. I tried all of the suggestions, including removing the YouTube app and rebooting the Roku, but it had no effect...

For the past two days when I try and watch YouTube on my Roku device only, the videos are buffering so bad they are unwatchable. I have done all the steps, deleted app, restarted Roku, reinstall app, and it is still a problem.

I've reinstalled the app, reset the Roku, checked the WIFI signal, run a network test, moved the Roku... nothing works.

But everything else streams fine.  And every other device in the house streams fine.
