Tubi streaming -occasional freezing/halting

[scottsmsgs4we9cjv1]

Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Watching streaming videos on Tubi, I get freeze-ups sometimes as often as 4-5 times an hour. I have to reload the page to resume.
2. This is on Windows 10, with the latest patches
3. I’ve turned off my VPN but still experience the issue
4. Tested in an alternate browser and not seeing this behavior.

Expected result: streaming proceeds without freezing periodically

**Brave Version is 1.48.164

Hello @scottsmsgs4we9cjv1, thank you for reaching us out. Have you tried deleting cookies and cache recently? Are you using extensions? Does the same happen in a private window or a different profile? To create a new profile please read:

Create a new profile to help Troubleshoot

(authored by @sampson) For those impacted by performance and/or memory issues, here are a couple steps to take which will help us in helping you. As many here have stated, it’s good to disable extensions. Extensions are third-party applications; it’s entirely possible an extension could eat up tons of memory. By removing them from the equation, we greatly simplify the task of identifying the problem itself. Create a Testing Profile Testing with a private window is good, but this usually leave…

Hope this can help you. Regards.

Thanks for the tips. I did create a separate profile for testing and observed no streaming issues.

I am currently testing using a private window under my regular profile and thus far (fingers crossed) it seems to be working perfectly.

The only extension I have installed on my normal profile is a password manager. Disabling it didn’t fix the streaming issue however.

I am ok doing my streaming in private windows, if that resolves the issue.

Also, possibly related, I have been having issues getting Google Meet and Teams to work properly. For both of them, I found that permanently enabling AutoPlay solved the issues I was experiencing.

Hello again @scottsmsgs4we9cjv1, If its working in a private window and a new profile most likely is related to the extension you have installed before. I would recommend you to keep using the new profile or leaving autoplay enabled in that profile to see how it goes. Regards.
