Slow-motion frame skipping on Android devices

For the past week or so, I have been having issues where live TV channels will be playing fine and then suddenly the sound will drop out and they will start skipping frames in slow motion. Sometimes it resolves on its own, but usually it takes changing the channel and then changing it back. I have experienced this on both of my Sony TV's, as well as my Nvidia Shield. My Samsung Galaxy tablet hasn't had any problems so far though.

Tonight, we were watching high school football on channel 26.2. It was playing just fine for my wife in the bedroom, and fine for me on my tablet as well, but once I switched from the tablet to another TV in the basement, I was repeatedly experiencing the issue described above.

Here is a portion of the log from my PC.

I'll need diagnostics from the app after this happens

Is this with the beta app? I'm pushing up a possible fix

No, this is with the latest official release. I'll send the log next time it happens.

Ah, strange. The last update to the official release was on Sep 21
