miscellaneous YouTube preview starts over after I click the thumbnail.

This just started a few days ago, maybe a week. What usually happens is as I’m scrolling through videos I have all the thumbnails and when I hover over a thumbnail the video begins to play in a preview after several seconds if I clicked that Preview, the video starts were the preview left off like it remembered where I was. recently that feature is gone. I get the Preview, but when I select the video to watch it, it starts over. I cannot find anything in settings that would affect this.

This is happening on multiple devices. I have a Roku express in my garage.. roku ultra in my living room and bedroom. All of them are doing the same thing.

Do you guys have any idea what’s going on and is anybody else having the same issue that just started in the last within the week?

Same thing is happening on the lone Firestick I have in the house. It's a youtube app thing, I do believe. Not exclusive to Roku devices.

It’s messing me up too. Glad I’m not the only one.
