I pay for the monthly premium each month. Well apart from ads, the other reason why I pay premium. Cause I like to play music while I'm doing something or play music in the background. When I'm busy or out and about with ear plugs/headphones on. For a month or so? I do the same thing and after afew seconds up to a minute. The song goes off. When I check it's loading. Soon as I go back on the app. The song plays perfectly. Fix this up.

A few updates ago youtube removed the option for adding a video to queue or play now while casting on a chromecast. Also if you select a video from a playlist it adds all the video from that playlist to the queue. Another annoyance is now while watching on your mobile device the video quality on auto is usually the lowest quality even with the setting to for higer video quality is selected.

So many clumsy features in this version. Eg. The watch later list can add to, but can't delete items once played without navigating all the way back to the point in list where you pinned it; You can't continue to the next item in the playlist on the mobile version; No sorting functionality; If you purge the videos you've watched even just for a second vanish, not just older or unpublished videos; Biggest gripe - Recommended videos are always years-old clips instead of new fresh content.
