My Pi5 setup with a very fast SD card plays YouTube without dropping frames or stuttering at 1080p, that other guy is wrong. The UI is slow and a bit janky, but once YT is loaded and fullscreen, it plays perfectly. It plays 24/7 on a TV in our living room for my partner’s WFH and for our cats when they’re done.
Thank you for that validation! I actually just tested mine and saw the same results as you describe. I would drop about 30-50 frames going full screen and then only one here or there every few minutes. It is damned close to perfect.
