I've noticed this also with the Beta releases for a while now, Very long delay in starting videos and in most cases it will be a black screen with lots of buffering for some time and then you see the video start then back to a black screen again for a few seconds before playing. Duplicate? https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/issues/3814

I browsed the settings and noticed the "Network engine" was changed from what I have originally set it to, I usually have it set to either default or Cronet, I have never set it to OkHttp because it's so slow as it states in the settings menu. I even checked by restoring a recent backup, Which was set to Cronet, Maybe check to make sure yours wasn't changed at some point Settings > Player > Network engine Changing it back improved the startup of a video
