Buffering

[hamswolo]

Just updated buffering every 2 seconds. No other steaming service has an issue and a speed test is fine . Firestick 4k

[helloeverything1]

Same for me on nvidia shield. Lots of people have a very similar problem, I hope it gets fixed soon.

[KG3RK3N]

This is the third recent thread about this issue. At least see if you're duplicating before posting.

[BDaggerhart]

Same here, been happening for about 3 hours now (while not having problems this morning).

NVidia Shield

[meddle99]

Same issue here on a shield. Tried clearing cache, uninstalling and rebooting with no improvement. Commercials with original app are terribly annoying but everything plays fine.

This was driving me insane. >.< At least it's not just me.

Same problem, it seems it has to be with the account, if you log out the problem is not present at least for me, I have 2 android tv box and the problem is in both. uninstall and reinstall don't fix the problem I even tried with an older version but same problem.

[smoke63b]

Same problem. I have gigabit. ONN device on 5ghz. Can't even play 1080p at a 1.5mb rate. Freezes on black screen after selecting video. 5 to 10 seconds later, buffering. Plays 1 second, buffering. Sometimes it keeps doing this. Sometimes it just buffers infinitely.

Fully updated. Didn't have this problem yesterday.

Same issue. Without account, there is no buffering issue. Once connected, it's not possible to watch a video. My opinion is Youtube put bandwidth restriction when we watch video with SmartubeNext.

The problem appears only few hour ago. (5/10 hours max)

Hope you will find the root cause.

Kindly regards.

I also suspect that YT maybe tweaking parameters? But do not know for sure.

[mcrypt]

Yap.. same problem here! Buffer hell :-(

[ShamelessWizard]

I installed stable, logged in and it didn't for a little bit. Now it is back to the same behavior as Beta. Looks like youtube fuckery!

Today, I got an security alert from my Gmail account. "A user knows the password for your associated Google Account" I change my password, but I don't find anything about settings in Youtube that can be reset.

Anyone got a security alert ?

You can just select the “None” from the accounts selection. Yes 👏 this helps for now but doesn’t have local history…

[Shinobyte]

Same issue here, on a Nvidia Shield

[1992ff]

Same problem for me with my fire tv stick 4k on Beta version 15.76. A few hours ago everything was fine. The official YouTube app hasn't this buffering issues at the moment...

[wilsoncliu]

They just came out with 15.78, and that fixed it for me.

[ypk]

OMG I was thinking I was the only one with this issue!

[amahi2001]

Same issue here on Nvidia shield. My wifi speed is still the same as it was before and other streaming services seem to work.

[Cereal-Lain]

Can confirm, the issue is fixed in latest beta 15.78

[BDaggerhart]

Works with latest update, 15.78

Nvidia Shield

Thanks!

[Stryder24]

Just updated to 15.78 on my Firestick and videos will not play. First a black screen comes up, and then it goes back to my subscriptions page

Guys I am kind of a newbie and may have installed the APK file from SmartTubeNext.com the website says its official but im worried I may have downloaded Malware onto my TV can anyone confirm if this website is legit or not I'm sorry

[psx123]

Uninstall that APK and download it from GitHub. Scan Kaspersky antivirus

If you are unsure, uninstall the app, then install downloader on your TV (if its not already installed) and navigate to https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/ and install STN from there

You don't actually need to. You can update the app directly from Settings > About inside the app
