iPad has trouble with Youtube videos
When playing long youtube videos on my ipads, they repeatedly pause or I get the spinning circle. This is accessing Youtube with Safari.
This happens on my 9.7" iPad Pro and my brand new iPad Mini. Most of the videos are 3 hours long, but typically within 30-60 minutes, it will stop playing and I get the spinning circle and typically have to reload the page. Other times, for testing purposes, I'll let it play and I'll periodically check it and usually it is paused. I don't know if the spinning circle eventually leads to just being paused or not. But it will keep happening every 30-60 minutes, though sometimes it happens much sooner.
It is NOT a slow connection! I have a 1 Ghz internet connection and even with the wifi connection, Speedtest will show hundreds of Mbps. Today I even tried attaching an ethernet adapter - it gave me 940 Mbps but the videos still stop!
It is especially annoying when it is a live stream and I'm going to miss something during the process to get it playing again.
I've tried using "Focus" to prevent interruptions as well as turning off content blockers. I've tried restarting and other things. Nothing seems to work. If it goes a long time, it just seems to be luck and very rare.
It does not happen with Safari on my Mac. And it may not do it on my iPhone. At least I know it doesn't do it as much, but I rarely use that. I have done brief tests with another browser, but it does the same thing.
