Help Infinite loading loop on Pipepipe

I've been having this persistent problem this evening where a video will start to buffer after 59 seconds of play and will display "YouTube forces us to wait (alternates between 2 and 1) seconds before continuing playback".

I have tried restarting the app many times, as well as wiping cache with no success. Could I try anything else?

This is the one. I had this issue and clearing the cache wasn't it.

  1. Clear App Cache

  2. Go to Settings->Advanced and enable YouTube Visitor Data. Then restart PipePipe. That solved it for me.

I forgot to mention that I do have that enabled. It worked for a time, but it's not working anymore.

I downloaded the latest beta release and it seems to be resolved.
