Air 2 - Youtube App?

[midwestfisherma]

On my Air 2 when playing videos in the Youtube app I noticed the video will start out playing fine and then get somewhat blurry for a couple of seconds and then correct itself. It's acting as if it doesn't have enough bandwidth to play the video properly. This has been going on for a couple of weeks.

In trouble shooting I did a speedtest on my network. I'm show 60Mbs down like normal. On the Air 2 I switched into the chrome browser and safari and went to youtube and played the same videos. The videos run fine in the different browsers. I then checked my wifes Mini 2 and played the same videos and they play fine on her Mini 2. I also went to my Mac Mini and played various videos and they played fine. I'm running 8.1.1 and have a 64 GB LTE model and the app behaves this way on wifi or cellular signal.

So, this looks to be a problem with the youtube app. I wondering if anyone else has been experiencing anything like this?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have over 10GB of free space on this Air 2.

I blame Google. My iPhone and iPad have done this for about a year since they updated their app for iOS 7. The way to get around it is to tap on the video while playing, then the 3 dots in the upper right corner. Select "Quality" then choose 720p. 1080 never streams right (something with the app) so I just do 720p.

Problem is the app.

Others have already said it, but I want to say it as well - it definitely is a problem with the app. I wish Google was more committed to making everything work better on iOS. I understand that iOS takes a backseat to android, but it should still be just as functional.

Same with my iPad mini 2. Its so annoying considering YouTube and webbrowing is what I mainly use it for. I went with iPad cause of the long lasting battery.

After doing more testing I agree with you all. Problem is definitely with the app. Hey Google....C'Mon Man!

Yesterday I installed the 8.2 update on my Air 2. After doing so I open the youtube app and watched a few vids. I noticed that the previous mentioned issue with the app is no longer happening. It looks like 8.2 fixed it. Has anyone else noticed this?
