I own a Vero4K+ for years now, mainly to watch youtube video in the comfort of my couch. First time I post in here.
I made all the updates along the years and got used to the fact google regularly breaks the youtube plugin by introducing some new fancy anti oss measures, that fortunately the youtube plugin devs are able to quickly circumvent.
Since I upgraded to 19 I got some minor issues. First the update was the first one in years that actually failed and required me to update things manually from a console, but eventually things stabilized.
The problem is that for few weeks now, I can’t watch decently any youtube video anymore, which is my primary usage of the vero4K+/osmc/kodi, it freezes all the time, with the same messages coming again and again in the kodi log:

and again and again… every 30s or so.
I know this forum is about osmc and not the youtube plugin for kodi, but I feel really at the end of the road now… I think I read everything I could but couldn’t find anything to fix this, and was wondering if I could get any useful advice from this forum…
