Yes, I have a browser plugin to open youtube links in mpv, but it's been unusable recently with constant buffering. I dont even fetch them at best quality.

Even the official client has been buffering heavily on iOS for the last two days. No idea what's going on, but I'm getting RealPlayer flashbacks.

Oh goodie, I am not the only one. I ran into this issue last night and YouTube app in my iPad is buffering heavily and stuck in 480p. My usual solution for this is to restart the iPad. Yup, have to restart the iPad because swipe-to-close didn't help.

pip install yt-dlp

In ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf, add the following line, preferably near the top:

script-opts-add=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=yt-dlp

That should hopefully solve your issue.

You don't need to update the config if you have the latest version of mpv (0.34) released one month ago.

Are you using yt-dlp with mpv?
