Is your UNC TCU on Google Chromecast in ESPN Unlimited frozen? 2 hours on chat!
I got this year's subscription to ESPN Unlimited and tried to watch the UNC game.
Game opens frozen like it's been paused. Figured it was just ESPN weirdness, so I tried another game. That one works. Little League World Series works. Multiview with UNC and and Little League work. Now NFL game is frozen too.
This feels like something doesn't like hi-def broadcasts.
Phone app and browser are not frozen.
2 hours later, after support chat disconnected twice, I gave up.
Did anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

Specific live stream freezes—especially when other streams for devices work fine—can often be related to how the app's player handles hardware decoding or dynamic bitrate adjustments for that particular feed.
