Hmmm...I wonder if this is a problem with our connection/ISP or youtube? Any youtube video I try to watch will eventually stop buffering and pause. On my phone, I can "simply" fix it by disconnecting and reconnecting wifi but on my desktop, I have to refresh the page. The internet connection is still there and hasn't been dropped so it's kinda odd. Prime video, netflix and frankly anything else that requires an internet connection has no issues but youtube on the other hand just randomly stops buffering for no reason. Slightly annoying but I guess not the biggest issue ever?

@lewdicrous Interesting...maybe a bug then. Would make sense as when I disconnect/reconnect wifi, youtube will think I'm back online again and start buffering, again.

Could be a bug, I've updated the app multiple times and it's still happening so either they don't know about it or they are aware of it, but don't know what's causing it.
Haven't tried disconnecting/reconnecting wifi, only force closing the app then opening it again, might try that next time.
When it's buffering, do thumbnails stop loading as well (just a grey image) or only videos not playing? 'cause the former happens to me.

Videos stop playing for me. Never noticed thumbnails not loading...

@lewdicrous Nope, no VPN and was using google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) but good idea, I'll give other DNSes a try. Maybe that will change something

I'm using cloudflare's DNS and it still happens, so it's more likely to be a bug like you mentioned.
