New bug: Android player crashing on live tv, skip ahead

With the latest Android build (6.15.2.4143), the player crashes while playing live TV from the start and trying to advance.

I record the morning news that starts at 7am and goes for 2 hours. Around 8:30am, I navigate to Watch Now and find the show. I ask to watch from the start. Not sure if this matters, but it hasn’t been starting at the start. It changes daily, but starts ~5-10 mins in.

After watching for 10+ minutes, I get a commercial and skip 30 seconds forward. Doing this once works fine. Typically, there are lots of commercials, so I hit the skip button 5 or more times. Before the latest version, this worked great and in short order the video started playing again. Now, the video freezes indefinitely. Eventually, I give up and hit the stop button. This is when the Plex app crashes. It’s happened each of the days since I upgraded.

If it helps, I do this while on WiFi that is not on my local network with the Plex server. Any other info I can provide to help debug?
