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.

SOULTION(sort of)

I figured out if you lower the resolution to below 720, your video should play without stopping. Not perfect but it should at least let you watch until YouTube figures this out. Turns out it’s happening on all smart tv products. Amazon tv, google, Sony tv, Roku , etc.

but lower the resolution to not HD and it should work for now

It is certainly not just Premium YouTube or just smart TVs but it is also happening to the YouTube from my cable company as well.  Comcast. Seems like a YouTube issue.

I'm not a premium customer and having the issue. It's about every second and can't even use it basically.
