Laggy Buffering #83

Closed n-ce closed 1 year ago

n-ce commented 1 year ago

Observation

Takes 10secs to forever to load stream src.
while playing stops, takes another gap of time to load next part of the stream, resumes, this continues for the entire playback.

Expectation

Takes 0-2 seconds to load stream src.
Plays smoothly without any buffering gaps.

Points

Happening since a week or more
Changing Browsers does not solve.
Changing IP does not solve.
Changing ytify instance does not solve.
Changing piped instance does not solve.

@firemasterk I lost my matrix session where i have texted you about this. Hence mentioning you here.

Added old piped instance which was last updated on 28th feb and it seems to work but will have to continue testing. commit deploy-devBranch edit : nope the issue still persists

I'll copy my message from matrix:

I believe its a YouTube change, YouTube started throttling streams not using DASH / the Range header

You might want to implement something like: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/blob/master/src/utils/DashUtils.js Along with a library, like dash.js for example

This should fix most issues, but there's a new kind of throttling affecting even this (likely an A/B test), I'm working on coming up with a solution for this, along with a few other people for this.

What has youtube been cooking lately 🤔 After exhaustive testing today, It seems to be working fine now with zero lags. If this issue starts to reoccur i'll be sure to implement dash support.
