I used to enjoy playing youtube videos through my Edision Mio+ using the plugin for this so I could watch youtube videos on my TV screen. The youtube plugin uses the media player plugin. Lately, almost any video I play stops and starts as I play it as though it's being buffered. Effectively, the feature doesn't work anymore for me. I am using TNAP 4.1 with the latest updates.
Troubleshooting already tried:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled both the youtube and the media player plugins.
- I've checked the Network menu in the Mio+. I use the wired LAN connection and the network test passes. Netspeedtest shows 80.24 Mbps download and 10.18 Mbps upload.
- I did a cold and warm restart of the Mio+.
- I restarted my cable/network router. The router works fine for all other household Internet applications.
I wonder if others have tried this feature while using TNAP 4.1?
I notice most youtube audio is labelled as MPEG 4-AAC. I wonder if this is contributing to the videos not playing smoothly.

Lower the max video resolution and see if that helps.

I tried lowering Maximum Video Resolution to 1280x720 and 854x480 but no change. So I put it back to 1920x1080.

That may have helped. But some videos still won't play smoothly. I think I'll just connect my PC via HDMI cable directly to the TV. Then I can play anything at full resolution. What's interesting is I don't recall this being an issue at some point in the past.

Yeah I got Kodi 18.9 on my OpenPli develop image in another slot and the youTube app in Kodi has the same issues with some videos. YouTube wants you to see the ads so with these apps like these not doing ads they are not fully supported by the YouTube servers. Just my opinion.

Workaround discovered: The plugin allows me to download the video of interest. The audio and video tracks download separately to my local disk. When I play it locally, it plays perfectly even at the HD resolution. The only catch is it takes a bit of time to download.

It would help to provide a title for a video(s) that does not play correctly. The problem needs to be replicated if possible.
I have no idea what this means:

It's easy to provide a sample example. I have "Maximum video resolution" configured at 640x360 for this example. One example is the video "Setting up a Basic KU Band Satellite System for Free Satellite TV". I learned that configuring Youtube setup with "Use DASH MP4 format" to OFF will then download a single file containing video and audio.
See images below.

ADDED: I just did an online update. Suddenly, the youtubes play correctly even at highest resolution! Is this a coincidence or did this update resolve something on this subject? Below is my current About screen. For now, it seems issue is resolved.
