Lower users is better, Google throttles the large ones.
Is it normal that an instance that was once good, all of a sudden starts to lag, crash, not load, etc?
Yeah, recently R4FO has been quite on/off. Just switch to another one with the least users.
Thank you, friend.
Try HLS in the settings
Make sure pipe is disabled
And install tubular as a backup. When one app is broken, youc an fall back to the other one
If piped is disabled then the app uses direct YouTube links.
OK, that seems to help, thanks a lot!
Actually you just need to switch to a different Piped instance. HLS is only there as a workaround in case of some issue and disabling Piped means you're loading the videos from YouTube directly. Disabling Piped is gonna solve your issue because the issue is that the instance you're using is slow.
Ah, ok I see, I'll try to find a different instance then, probably good to find one closer to South Korea where I am.
I like Newpipe/Tubular as well as Youtube Revanced. Both seems to stutter much less than any of the 5 or so instances i tried through Libretube
I guess this is because they download directly from YouTube instead of a proxy?
