With my Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1") using the Xfinity player App, I will encounter this issue probably every 5 videos or so, regardless of what video it is. In the middle of it playing, suddenly the Video will freeze, but the audio will continue like nothing's wrong. I can occasionally get it to start playing again by rewinding a little bit, but most of the time it will stay frozen.
I thought this was just an issue with my Tablet, but I recently got a Chromebook as well, and now I'm experiencing this same issue while watching directly from the browser.
