[RPi5] Freeze, reading YT addon

  • Hi,

    For some time now, I've been having trouble playing videos with the YT add-on. I have the nightly updates on my RPi.

    Either it freezes for a while or even crashes Kodi, forcing a restart. Or the video stutters (buffering).

    It's not YT's fault, because I installed the beta and finalised it, and nothing changed.

  • Youtube made some changes a couple of days ago, probably that.

    No, it was a while ago, I was on the final version 7.2.0.3, then went through the beta. It's still the same thing. I have good wifi though.

    Didn't you see anything in the log?

  • I updated to the latest beta and seems to have fixed it. A few videos in but it's doing well.

    I'm on 12.2.0 and installed 7.3.0 beta 4. Make sure to log out and then log in again. Also as a reminder, you have to get through a handful of sign-ins on the Google device login page.

    Thanks for you help

    What I do. Besides, it takes a while to display just the subscriptions and yt channel. I didn't have this problem before, everything was smooth.
