Buffering audio on long youTube videos

[Simon818]

I'm running the media bot in Docker on Debian 12. The host machine is a VPS from Vultr, with quite a fast network. I haven't put any memory or CPU limits on the docker container.

If I play a long youTube video, for instance this long compilatoin of all songs on a single album, the audio starts and stops intermittently, with pauses of around five seconds, as though the bot can't download the video fast enough to play it.

Not sure if this is a bug or a problem with my configuration, I didn't change anything in the YT section. But I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting it. I'm pretty comfortable with Linux but I don't know a lot about how the bot operates or what I should be looking for. Thoughts welcome.
