My bad not 0.28.8 0.28.0

Can confirm this.
I can watch 3-5 videos just like always. But then suddenly it stopps working and is buffering every 10-20 seconds.
That's on my firetv stick. My phone on the same network works as usual...
Settings on both: 1080p60, video mpeg-4, audio m4a

I am also experiencing a similar issue, I can watch about 4 videos before it will just break and not play anything else. Why does this break so often

[absurdlylongusername]

@Justwhy22 @fliegentoeter Can you give an estimate of the length of watch time you have before you start experiencing this? E.g. if you watch a 30min video or 60min, does it happen during that video? Or is it only if you watch multiple videos? What if it's like 5 3 min videos?

[Justwhy22]

@absurdlylongusername I watch long form videos so I would say its after 4 40ish minute videos. The problem also seems to occur after the app had to restart the playlist I was on due to me switching apps and it not remembering where I was. I will pay more close attention to the problem tomorrow as it tends to fix itself overnight or thru the next day

Not sure if it's the same root cause, but Bandcamp does this for me, buffering after less than a minute of playback (repeatedly). Which is odd, because if I download a 4-minute song instead of trying to stream it, the whole thing downloads in like 8 seconds.
