Also reproducible on:
Samsung Tab Active 2 Android 9
Samsung Tab Active 3 Android 10
Samsung Note10+ Android 12 Samsung Tab Active 4 Android 13
Samsung Tab S7 FE Android 14
Mobile Hotspot device is generic LTE only.

Newpipe 28.0

Complications:
Minor Irritant
-Reported bug occurs irregularly when using LTE / cellular for data exclusively.
-It will occur when LTE is lost, and established again.
-It will occur when LTE <-> 5G ( Tab Active 4, S7 FE )
Work Around: Pushing Play again typically results in continued playback.

Major Irritant
-It will occur often when device switches LTE <-> Wifi (home, stationary)
-It will occur often when device switches LTE <-> Wifi (work, stationary)
-It will occur regularly when device switches LTE <-> Wifi (in vehicle hotspot, mobile, same network)
-It will occur 100% of time Wifi (home) -> LTE
-It will occur 100% of time LTE -> Wifi (home, work, mobile) -> LTE
Work Around: Swiping down and selecting same stream works every time, properly resuming at time index when issue occurred.

Overlap of above may have occurred due to apparent buffering of stream.
Feels like buffer too small when stream is resumable, and session id fails when media change occurs / ip address changes.
No logs available, haven't figured out how at time of occurrence (while driving).
