I have 2ms ping to YouTube and my network is wired 1gbit so it was odd to get so many buffering issues. So i did a search and this solution immediately solved the buffering issue! Prefer IPv4 or disable IPv6 and it’s buttery smooth

    You haven’t really explained “why”, it’s just that there are two roads to YouTube and nobody complains when IPv6 is faster.

    Thanks for sharing! Disabling IPv6 fixed my buffering problems on Apple TV, wired with Premium. I suspected my pi-hole initialy. Its insane that Google is apparently incapable to properly network their services… even if you pay for them.

      I’m glad you found this helpful. Is there a way to set preferred ipv4 on Apple ecosystem rather than fully disabling ipv6?
