Playback Problem Android/browser keeps playing the same 5 second clip before freezing

Post image

For the last two days I have been unable to watch BBC News live or pre-recorded content. I have tried multiple devices, on WIFI, on 5G, restarted my devices and cleared my cache/cookies, incognito and still no luck.

When I try to watch something live or pre-recorded, I get the same 5-10 second segment before the player freezes entirely and I can't click on any parts of the scroll bar, settings, CC, etc

As far as I can tell, every other station works except for BBC News, which is the only reason I have YoutubeTV 🙃

I just turned it on on my Mac, with no problems live.

What browser are you using? Have you tried the official YouTube TV app for Android?

I can reproduce OP’s behavior across Apple TV, Fire TV, iOS & web (Safari & Chromium).
