If your network, wan and hardware are good enough that might work. Did it improve that 4K60 stream? You can press "Ctrl+Shift+o" to see the player debug info and check things out.

On my experience with the rpi5 even with 4k, as low as 16MB is good enough (if we go too high the stream takes more time to load and that may be annoying).

About the read factor, if you see your "vq" getting volatile and dropping under 50% or so, don't be afraid of bumping the read factor to the max (or close) and play around with it, ideally vq is at 99% 100% of the time while "aq" should be stuck above 89%.

About the chunk size, I would not go higher than that (on my PI the sweet spot is 128Kb). Play with it if you see audio lagging (the a/v value should always be in between -0.05 and 0.05 or tighter, or quickly fall back into that interval if any spikes occur.

I came to the conclusion that, with these settings, any buffering or audio lagging issue is due to some frequency mismatch (like those weird 59.94Hz) that some displays can't handle. To fix that, if it occurs, deselect the "sync playback to display" and let the display be the one to be adjusted to the best frequency with "adjust display refresh rate" on "on start/stop". Also, if needed any other change, go to "system" and make sure you have those display modes whitelisted and both "allow 3:2 pulldown" and "double refresh rates" on, to give the display more room to adjust.

Well this is what I've learned with my devices and I am pretty happy, hope it helps.

Oh, I just buffer "true internet streams", LAN/hardware is robust enough to handle real time streaming.

Joining to the "Video not available" crowd.
I was just watching a video. Finished, wanted to start a new one. Since than not one video plays, all "not available".
Haven't change anything.
I'm on an old Kodi, still using addon 7.0.9.2.   Worked well until 20 miutes ago. Repository doesn't offer newer version, but my Kodi is old, I just never get to reinstall the whole thing (that works/worked until now).

I have the same situation.


RE: YouTube - Oversized - 2024-11-26

Thank You for Your inputs however.....no matter setting I change and try I always get that "stuck" after video start.

As I said before, no matter the settings, nothing changes/helps for 4k60 videos. My net is only 200mbit, but I got no buffer issue watching same video via browser.


RE: YouTube - Kulpi2001 - 2024-11-26

Hello I'm new and sorry to interrupt the current issue being discussed but i was told to ask for help here with my problem so here is my issue with my Youtube addon,
every time i sign into the addon with my YT account the addon becomes unable to play any videos however when I'm signed out i can play videos just fine. I have already made sure it's not an API issue and i changed nothing in the Kodi system but i think the issue might be connected to some google privacy settings i recently changed. Unfortunately i don't remember what exactly i changed. If anyone has an idea what setting it might have been or if it could be from another cause i would be very grateful for a response


RE: YouTube - ENEMYJAY - 2024-11-26

Hey Gang, 
Another "Video Not Available" comment here. 
Troubleshooting done (7.0.9.2):
ran setup-wizard
created new API key
Created entirely new google cloud, with new google user, and new API

Updated to 7.1.1.1 official
trending videos play without issue, while using API but not signed in
After sign in, all videos fail, including the same trending videos as above. 

Just wanted to share incase theres a clue anywhere in this

quick correction, 7.1.1.1 did not work for trending (no sign-in) until I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the youtube plugin.


RE: YouTube - uwer - 2024-11-26

7.1.1.1+unofficial.1 solved the "Video not avilable" error for me.
No new APi key, just installed it over the previously installed 7.0.9.2.

When the video is finally playing the values are great. Maybe in this situation I would increase the buffer even to the 1GB max... of course it will take longer to load but maybe it would stabilise faster.
As a curiosity send me the link to the video in question.

Hello, sorry for the offtop, my question is about InputStream.Adaptive add-on and optimal settings for high resolution and stream viewing without buffering and freezing. Thank you and sorry for my google translate.


RE: YouTube - Kulpi2001 - 2024-11-27

Unfortunately that didn't work do you have any other ideas?
