Hi Everyone,
I was watching TCM via TVE last night and the channel would stream for almost exactly 8 minutes then the picture would 'freeze' until I exited to the guide then started the stream again. This is the log error from that time period:

On checking my DVR server, which is running on an NVIDIA SHIELD, I was greeted with a screen letting me know it had updated itself to Android 9 (pie) which I clicked through to proceed to the Android TV UI home screen. I have not had a chance to retry TCM since then but I have streamed my local antenna ABC station and Disney Jr. through the TVE tuner without the error. However, I thought it would be worth posting the error message anyone had seen anything similar to the stream "freeze" I had encountered and the associated failure to write the cache file. I am hoping that the issue was just that the USB drive hadn't fully mounted in read/write mode while the SHIELD was on the Android upgrade confirmation screen.
I will be testing TCM and additional channels more when I get home from work and will report back.
