In the beginning for years it worked flawlessly. In the past year or so it stops and starts. Even after the video has loaded.
It always happens in full screen and sometimes even happens in normal size.
It is giving me the S****..

Please see to this Valve. It's been so long.
I've tested on both my Laptop and my PC and on iPad it doesn't load at all, through both the App and on the Website. And yes, all of the other video stream sites on iPad work fine. It's just you.
It sucks having to go to www.youtube.com to see trailers which should be available (and working) on Steam. Total crap.

Are there other people who are still having this issue?

I'd much rather see steam scrap their video player and integrate youtube into steam. It would make everything much more simple.

I had this issue very recently, there was a post in the forums about it. Suggestion was to go to Steam settings (steam link top left), then select interface, then either check or uncheck "enable hardware video decoding, if supported". In my case the box was unchecked so I ticked it. Hopefully that will work for you.
