Strange playback problems on YouTube

I am having a playback problem specifically when trying to play back archived live streams from a YouTube channel that I follow. First, when I load a video, it begins playing from a random point rather than at the beginning. Second, play back jumps around sporadically, often jumping backward a couple of minutes after a few minutes of playback. I have restarted the YouTube app, refreshed my Wi-Fi connection by enabling and disabling airplane mode, and restarting the iPhone, all with no luck.

Again, this only happens with archives of live streams. Normally uploaded videos seem to play just fine. I seem to be getting some of the strange and oddly specific problems lately, LOL. Anyone experienced this one?
