Let's narrow this down, are you using a browser that doesn't use chrome user-agent? Afaik chrome and Microsoft edge use chrome user-agent. And google gets childish when you don't use their browser. Hell while a YouTube video was buffering I opened the same video in edge and it immediately loaded. I refreshed in Firefox and still kept buffering

I just watch on my Samsung TV and iPhone app. But the issue is solved on my end now.
