  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.

    Didn’t have an issue with NewPipe.

      Newpipe is pretty slick, probably the best non revanced solution.

        Been testing GrayJay since yesterday. It’s also open source but a bit better since it supports subscriptions and more sources.

    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.

  There is a setting for the default quality for unmetered and metered connections.
