Describe the bug

Whenever the video stops temporarily because it doesn't load fast enough, some seconds of audio will continue to play until the player stops. During that time, the video stream is not progressing, but won't be displayed afterwards either.

Expected Behavior

When no more video is there to play, even if there's audio, stop directly until both audio and video are loaded in cache again.

Usually at the time frame of 0:08 or 0:07 the first freeze comes. After that every 10-15 seconds if freezes again. Maybe it has something to do that the same video has an advertisment pre-roll of 30 seconds.

It depends also on the video itself. If it is a music video, it continually happens every 10-20 seconds until end, if it some video that is not that popular or a recent video, it is chugging in the descripted way.

There are also events that the video is first loaded in 480p even I requested 1080p, but that corrects itself after some time.

maybe duplicate of #1557

but currently, it happens with nearly every video.

I agree, this is a duplicate of #1557, which I haven't found before opening this for some reason.
@shakeyourbunny Maybe you could move / copy your ideas above to the original issue, please?
