Playing Video Shudders/Skips
Clarification: (06/27/2017): I havent installed todays update yet, but my review below seems to be showing in Current Reviews. FYI.
Ive never had a problem streaming videos from the app on Wi-Fi until early Jun update. I mainly use it to catch up on news using the network/shows official YT channel so the video quality was neveran issue. Now, the player suddenly starts skipping a few seconds of the video while streaming, and the quality of the video, in general, is much worse.
This is on an iPhone 6s with iOS 10.3.2. I checked my Wi-F network, but connection was fine and no problems with other apps. It clearly is YouTube app issue.
The problem seems more like odd buffering than just skipping. The video quality starts breaking down quickly as the sound fades, then the video kind of shudders inaudibly through a few seconds of streaming. It starts streaming normally again. This cycle of shuddering/streaming continues about every 30 secs throughout the video clip.
Ill see if it improves, but the app is too irritating to use right now. I dont know what happened, but I hope it is fixed soon.
