Patched the apk with only the standard patches, installed, and it ran perfectly for two days. Last night it started this buffering issue and it's driving me mad.

I've cleared data, reinstalled, repatched, toggled spoofing using every version available to spoof. Restarted phone even. I went through and gave microg every permission I could, though I couldn't figure out how to turn on spoofing for it.

Yet this issue remains.

My family isn't tech savvy, though they can figure out how to side load an apk. So I have them running microg and this same YT patched apk that I've generated. They are all running fine. It's only me with the problem thus far.

Is anyone experiencing this? Am I doing something wrong? Missing something? Or just bad luck? Thanks.

I had an issue yesterday that occurred while I was watching a live feed. Buffering everywhere. I thought it might be time to check for upgrades, or was possibly the end.

I cleared cache and it was fine. But my issue sounds different, though I don't know if I waited 15s to find out lol.

Thanks, yeah it's the worst when it just buffers

I had the same happen. Checked in reddit, and there was some solution of a specific version of app and doing some voodoo magic as well. Looks like YouTube is making it harder.
