Some YouTube 4k Videos Stutter and Buffer

Hi.
YouTube add on playing fine on some, but on some videos grind to a halt and then the buffering sign comes out. Then playback resumes after a while.

Log’s here

I tried setting the min bandwidth of inputstream adaptive to 10,000,000 bits but result is the same.

i’ve had exactly the same issue on both my 4k+'s for quite some time now on every single youtube video i watch - it buffers after say 10 minutes and sometimes never recovers. i can’t see its a bandwidth issue as my smarttv doesn’t have the problem. maybe the cache is very small? could be a plugin issue.

Is there a way to rip the content and play it locally to see if it’s a network issue or problem with the file itself?

I’ll see if it’s possible

Hi I use this to download from YT

Works great and he usually updates quickly with YT changes
(I also use the foobar2000 plugin)
