Old UI crash

[jouzka]

Describe the bug

Basically in the last week or so I started getting freezes when playing selected videos or even visiting certain channels, but definitely not the all of them, though quite frequently and randomly. What happens is I start a video and the UI completely shuts down, the screen doesn’t respond and the video keeps going for a few seconds before YT crashes. I’m on 19.39.1-5.0.2 and  it worked fine for a good month baby before the issue appeared. 

To fix it I tried other YT versions first but the bug kept happening till I had a hunch and tried disabling the Old UI option in the Interface tab form Youtube Plus, now everything works fine except I kinda liked having the Old UI, so maybe we can find a fix for this?

Steps to reproduce

19.39.1-5.0.2

Activate “Old UI” option.
Tinker around until you find a video or a channel that freezes.

YouTube removing old ui compatibility from their servers, I may remove this option in the next public release
