Videos with “1080p Premium” quality almost always fail to load the first time (YTLite)
This only happens if the video has said quality, older videos with normal 1080p (Or higher/lower) always load correctly.
This behaviour happens in Shorts as well. They will play a few seconds and then halt, I have to play enough of another short and come back to make it work again.
I've also encountered this in Clips. Almost every clip will fail to load the first time and would only load the second time.
Steps to reproduce
-
Open a video with said quality.
-
Video fails immediately or after some seconds of playback with “Something went wrong. Tap to retry” or loads infinitely.
-
Closing the video and opening it again solves the issue, even playing it in 1080p Premium, but only for that video, if you open another video, this will happen again.

Hi @PoomSmart, first of all, thank you for your efforts maintaining so many important tweaks, you’re one of the most valuable contributors to the community!
I’m the one who made the original issue on the YTLite repo, so I’m here if you need help with this.
The creator of the YouTube-HLS userscript replied and apparently already has a possible solution, I know a tweak works differently, but maybe the cause of this issue is the same so hopefully it will help: https://github.com/pepeloni-away/userscripts/issues/6#issuecomment-2860641610
