Any permanent way to fix YouTube crash issue on stock 5.1?

YouTube keeps crashing ... Sometimes retry makes the video playback going again, other times I have to wait a bit before I can use YT again. short of installing custom roms, anything I can do to fix this annoying issue?
Stock 5.1 with root and TWRP currently.

Delete the youtube.apk/dir in /system/app
Clear ART cache and then install normally the latest yt client from the playstore.
This worked for me, but no guarantee whatsoever.
