Started happening today.
Every youtube video would act like it was buffering indefinitely exactly 6 seconds into every video and would never resolve. I have GREAT internet and never have buffering issues, so I ought to find the cause. No other streaming app I use on my Roku does this, so it is isolated to Youtube. I restarted the TV, reinstalled the app, even checked my firewall.
And then I pinpointed it to Private Listening. It only occurs when it is enabled. I verified by rebooting the TV with private listening off. Youtube video makes it past 6 seconds, verified by watching a couple vids. The EXACT moment I turn on Private Listening and start a video, it happens exactly as specified - 6 second timestamp no matter what video I choose. Turn off private listening, resolved.
I predominantly use this feature on Roku and frankly is the only reason I haven't switched to an Apple TV which is superior. Private Listening has been busted before. This is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.
As some side information because I always check for updates. TV had not updated, Roku app on phone had not updated, and router firmware had not updated. So literally my network has been the exact same for 24 hours and this issue pops up, so do I just assume YouTube is being funky with bit-streams or did something break with a micro-update?
