Video crashes around the 59 second mark, rarely later into videos m, which leads me to think it could be as related? Sometimes it'll just pause, others it will start the channels next video and do the same
Frequency - almost every video, so I have to use download which works fine every time. Some videos play through no issues.
*Steps to reproduce the bug
Load any video, even after restarting the app etc, press play, 59 seconds in it'll jam up

Additional context
Happens on new pipe too in the same way. I know YT changes it's API to mess with these apps however it's odd it happens at a specific time, it seems to happen less often on videos that aren't monetizable , but even that might not be correct. Could it be YouTube purposefully letting you get a taste for the video then cutting you off so you use the site with ads? Wouldn't put it past them.
Any hot fixes or settings ? Tried almost everything. Looking around others have had the same issue, some say updating fixed it others found no solution, I'm in the latter camp.
Thanks team I know this must be frustrating.
