Stremio Tech Update #30 is much slower and experiencing buffering when there wasnt any before.

Since updating to Stremio Tech Update #30, I've encountered significant buffering issues while attempting to watch videos. Specifically with content exhibiting higher bitrates, notably surpassing the 5 Mbps threshold.

This issue persists across both the desktop application and web browser versions of Stremio, indicating that it's not isolated to a particular platform. Notably, this problem is unique to Tech Update #30; when reverting to an older version of Stremio (specifically, one from November), the threshold is much higher.

My network setup has remained unchanged throughout this period, ruling out any network-related issues as the cause. Additionally, I've experimented with the different encoder settings and adjusted Stremio service settings in attempts to resolve the problem, but these efforts have yielded no improvement.

Given the timing of the issue coinciding with Tech Update #30, it's plausible that recent changes such as the "fixes for h.265 playback on some browsers/platforms" or updates to the streaming server could be contributing factors.
