>> Yes, I've noticed the same thing and it's always AAC streams (at least for me), Vorbis seems okay.
As I mentioned, yours current settings can give some info (if this depends or particular clips). Also I wonder, is problem appeared only with the last version or it appeared previously with long time videos after some long playing time. At all, does long playing time has some problems or not.
Okay, have been trying to reproduce this but it's a little tiresome; I've watched parts of old streams that were problematic but they tend to be very long and so far I can't reproduce. However, I know this is not a connection problem, because I've switched at the time to Vorbis and it's been okay. So I'll get back to you when I can find a hard and fast example.
In the meantime here are my settings. These have been played around with a little as I tried to solve the issue by adjusting settings. Any feedback on a better setup would be much appreciated. Thanks. Let me know if you need system spec or any other details.
Most of the streams I listen to (and now watch -- nice update) are lectures and documentaries so they tend to be between 10 mins up to 3 hours. So very long. On the surface this appears to be a buffering (/youtube buffering?) issue. Generally it'll start off fine and then a long stream may start to suffer drop outs after 5+ mins or longer.
Sorry I can't be more specific. Like I say, so far it's always been ~192 AAC streams.
SETTINGS:

Great component! It's so good to be able to use foobar2000's EBU 128 Compressor on YouTube (for non music material) since the volume levels even within streams are often so up and down. This sorts it all out.
Thanks.
