YouTube Playlist playing on Media, but it crashes within 10-20 mins of starting a video

LifeAt will allow you to include a playlist so I input my favorite playlist which is a couple multiple hour videos but it crashes shortly after starting. It will make me reload LifeAt.
I press play on the video I want and everything plays alright, but then I leave LifeAt in the background and eventually the music stops and it tells me "LifeAt isn't working right now, please reload" and I have to reset LifeAt. I have used spaces for months this only started once I started putting my media into the media widget

Upgraded to premium to be able to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk&list=PL6NdkXsPL07Il2hEQGcLI4dg_LTg7xA2L&index=1 directly through LifeAt. It has been broken since Oct 9. What's the status here?

Hi there Ani Rose - thank you for reporting. Can you send me the link to the playlist, I can try to troubleshoot on my end too :)

Hi Rorrie!
I have pasted the link below. I also tried just "spaces" this morning because I'm cramming for finals and it reloaded a couple of times. There was a windows update that I just completed so maybe when I test it tomorrow it will work better but I will let you know if it continues.

Hello Rorrie, I just tried playing a youtube playlist of an album and LifeAt crashed around the 15 minute mark when I tried using the widget "Sounds"
It was Sabrina Carpenter's Album Short N' Sweet and this is the link I used:

Media has also had to reload all of LifeAt, it even started a new page while the other one still existed in the background
Rorrie
Ani Rose: Interesting, I am going to try to replicate today - so, using Sabrina's album & around 15 mins, you opened Sounds & it crashed? Did Media reload LifeAt afterwards?

Hi, I just dug a little deeper.
So it definitely doesn't work with this video or
any
video, for that matter (see screenshot attached).I did find out however that this is a youtube issue. The videos will play when not logged in. The theory people have is that youtube is trying to dissuade users who have been using Adblock before.
Anyway, to fix this, people have to click through to Youtube from within the LifeAt app (if the problem comes up in the app) and then log out there. If using LifeAt in the browser, you'd have to log out in the browser. The important part is that you can't be logged into youtube, apparently.
Thank you anyway for the swift reply!

Hi there Vera Soubiran - can you include a screenshot of what you're encountering? :) If you enter the link you provided and hit enter, the media widget updates and I am able to play the video. Let me know!
