Since the YouTube app update the other day (web_20241209_14_rc00) every time we start a video it just sits there on a black screen for about 5 seconds. Usually it will play properly afterwards, but not always - there have been occasional freezes or buffering issues after that point as well. It was working perfectly fine until a couple of days ago, and I'm not having this problem with any other apps.
Roku is a 4802, fully updated. I've tried changing the video settings to different resolutions, and having both yes and no for the setting about whether it automatically changes the video resolution to whatever the source is - nothing worked properly. That being said, having that auto setting on did *change* the behaviour - with that it would load somewhat faster, but like a couple seconds into the video, and then after a couple of seconds start buffering for ages, usually multiple times. Anyone else seeing this, and any other possible settings I can try to mitigate this? Is there any sense even trying to report it to YouTube?
