Corrupted Episodes

[Akirainbla 1]

I regularly appear to have corrupted episodes if I try to watch the Android app on my GoogleTV with chromecast output on a Sony Bravia TV. If I watch exactly the same episode using the AndroidTV app this doesn't happen. I'll keep trying both but will err on the side of the AndroidTV app.

I have no idea why this is the case as the Android app plays it absolutely fine on my Android phone, it just appears to be this combination of Android device, app version and output device. I can tell it's not transcoding it and after a few attempts it sometimes starts working without the corruption.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

I'll do so next time it triggers, it's not 100% of the time but is relatively regular.

OK that would be great. Thanks.

It just happened again (I've not been using the standard version), nothing in the logs showing any issue, just corrupt video output. Closed the app and went back in, worked fine.

Can you define that or show us a picture?

First is the episode played via the android app on the device. The second is the exact same episode played on the android TV app...

Over a week later and nothing further?
It's obviously a bug in the Android App when running on Android-TV as it doesn't EVER happen with the Android-TV version.
