After updating Lineage on 6-8-18 (first update since initial install), YouTube videos have sporadically begun lagging for no apparent reason. After a couple of seconds into a video, the video will start dropping frames (from 60 FPS to around 20) and lag behind the audio. I have tried:
Closing out the video
Closing out the app
Restarting the S4
Clearing YouTube and system cache
Reinstalling YouTube
Disabling HW overlays and forcing GPU rendering
None of these provided a permanent fix. Restarting the S4 would fix it, but only on the first time using the app. Browsing YouTube through the browser works fine, but is not the ideal way to use YouTube long-term. This issue does not happen with all videos, it appears to be completely random which ones it uses.

Whenever I watch videos online or YouTube, the videos do not play smoothly. About every 7-10 seconds it will freeze for a second or 2 then pick up 2 seconds later. It is incredibly annoying and pretty much makes my NS useless for watching videos. Is this a common issue with the NS? Should I try to get a new one through warranty or do all NS have this problem. (Internet speed not the problem)
No problem here with YouTube over W-LAN and mobile connection.
Did the video preload fully or are these "lags" due buffering?
Just got Nexus 7, updated to 4.1.1
I'm having an issue with the stock Youtube app. I watch a video and 5-6 minutes in, Youtube would just stop streaming the video. When I try to go back a page, Youtube hangs and crashes.
This happens with all videos and 5-6 minutes into the video. I can fast forward/rewind in the video, but the video stops after 5-6 minutes and youtube crashes after that.
Also another problem, sometimes when I click to watch a video, the video won't stream at all and will just have the circular loading screen.
Does anybody have similar issues?
I'm having the same issue. After I go to System -> Apps -> YouTube and clear the cache it works fine for a few mins but then goes back to this behavior. Any thoughts?

I have much better luck (and prefer) watching YouTube through the Chrome browser. No problems like you describe.
Having the same issue. I wonder, how many people have the same problem? If not so many, could it be related to:
-subscription?
-hardware?
-wifi-stength?
Any updates or solutions for this problem?
I've had this problem for a long time, although for me it usually occurs 1-2 minutes into the video instead of 5-6 minutes. Also it happens around 80% of the time i play a video, not everytime.
I'm stock and rooted.
I did some research on how to solve the problem, but none of them are worked.
I tried several methods to sort this out.
1. clear cache
2. reinstall the youtube app
3. force stop and turn back on
Don't play videos at 60 fps.
I'm on Dtux Corp v7.5 had issue on 7.2 and on stock firmware on this Note 4 (and my previous one).
Rent a video on Google playstore (even just an SD video) and the framerate is jumpy as hell i'd guess about 12 fps or so and complex scenes choke up the device freezing playback. UI remains responsive and sometimes clicking pause/play or just tapping the screen gets it going. This seems to happen even on downloaded locally cached / offline content. Happens to a lesser degree on Netflix.
I'm on a clean install, on multiple devices, and multiple different firmwares.
Anyone else having these issues? Is it the DRM?
Help greatly appreciated. I've searched and not seen anyone else mentioning this.
