High-quality YouTube videos keep crashing. What should I do???

Whenever I open a higher quality youtube video on ipad, it plays for a couple of seconds and then it crashes and sends me back to the Home screen. I tried to updating it to the latest version of iOS about a week and a half ago, and that helped at first. Now it's starting to do it again. Any suggestions? Is this happening to anyone else?

iPad video is limited to 720p video.

If the problem videos are 1080p, the iPad may have trouble with or crash the YouTube app.

I am assuming you are using the YouTube app on the iPad?

There are apps that claim to run 1080p video on iPad, but these apps produce their own issues, video artifacts and problems and aren't very reliable as a solution to watching higher resolution video on iPad.

Maybe future versions of iPad will be able to handle higher quality video, but for now, it's not possible.
