Why is Libretube so fucking slow?
Why is Libretube so fucking slow?
Watching videos has basically become impossible. Not even at 144p, not even just the audio loads more than 20 seconds and then stops every 2-3 seconds. I'm really not sure what causes it.
Am I using the wrong instance?
Is Google interfering?
Is my phone or the app not working correctly?
Is my ISP messing with me?
Any tips would be much appreciated
edit: Might have overreacted there a bit. Videos load and run fine in my mobile browser on any network so I doubt it's the instance nor my ISP.
Still leave Google or the app as possible reasons. 🤔
It's Google shenanigans again.
Are you using the Piped proxy? Try without it and see if that helps.
That seemed to only make it worse 🤔
I am seeing the same thing since last night, it really struggles to load more than a few seconds, and then pauses. I have tried different instances and the problem persists. I was hoping for an update today. But I guess I will use NewPipe until this is working again
Newpipe has had similar issues for me for the last few days. Not every video, but more have problems than the ones that play. ALL videos are having longer than normal buffering ti es tho. Slow initial load times in Freetube but it's been playing everything fine otherwise.
I've switched instance to
game.ytand it seemed to work for 1 day. Now I'm having the same issue and I've checked all the instances available. It seems like an app issue.Issue in the latest version:
