@libretube all of a sudden nothing is playing for me. I tried changing instances and also did a reinstall. It shows buffering which stops in a few seconds but nothing plays.

@swatantra Please change the streaming protocol from DASH to HLS

Settings -> Audio and video -> Enable "Use HLS"

The issues are tracked in github for more information.

GitHubVideo not playing in DASH format · Issue #5855 · libre-tube/LibreTubeBy VitoItalianGamer

@libretube that setting says:
"Use HLS instead of DASH (will be slower, not recommended)"
I'm am Android user, yet can stream NO YouTube videos (none at all) without this setting: surely DASH should be more flexible than HLS? Any literature on this recent change specific to #libretube ?

Note to self: HLS(HTTP Live Streaming) is Apple’s streaming protocol, A key difference between HLS and MPEG-DASH is that DASH is codec agnostic.
