Affected version

0.22.1

Steps to reproduce the bug

1: Open the app
2: Pick a video and play

Expected behavior

To load the video in a reasonable amount of time.

Actual behavior

It takes up to a minute in some cases to load a video.
I understand this is not using google APIs and relies on the webpage, but it doesn't feel like it when compaired to previous versions.

I have a VPN and manage to attain 50mb/s on a 2.4ghz network and load webpages normally.

Test this apk https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/suites/5494503468/artifacts/175647715

There was a significant difference in loading times, but is there an ETA on when this can be added as soon as possible?
As again for now since my wifi is fine. The test APK when switching to 16kb does make a difference when compared to 16kb.
