@AceRockola to add, i try to hit play and pause a few times on my tablet/phone app to see if that will nudge it playing again but those attempts are always futile. just wanted to give more info. maybe if there was a quality selection on the app, i could fix that problem while in front of the tv instead of having to get up. but if you could fix the problem altogether, that would be great as well. again thanks for any help.
