Too many relays could be a reason. Try to limit your relays to below 10. I haven't tested this but maybe some relays are chattier than others.

You can also switch video to WiFi only and it will not preload any videos.

Do you have a note id for the 144p video which is not working?

Thank you! Good to know about the <10 relays solution...

I was asking when Amethyst or any other nostr client would give the user ability to only download/stream 144p resolution videos in general... Not just the wifi switch... YouTube allows this. GrayJay allows this. NewPipe/Tubular allow this.

Oh I see. That will not happen any time soon.

Commercial video services transcode whatever you upload into many different resolutions. They can then serve whatever works best for you.

They have the resources to do that.

Amethyst does not store any data.

Maybe some nostr media server could do that in the future but it costs a lot of miney.

NewPipe is just a thin client downloading from YouTube media servers.
