"Invalid Nal length"

[Salamat-UK]

"None Invalid NAL length". Can anyone tell me what this is about, please? Getting a lot of freezing and buffering, then often getting that message, followed by a black screen. Eventually a screen came back with a message something like "Load suggestions error etc". Then "Skipping atom with length etc" then back to a black screen.

Using a Firestick. Went back to Stable version 18.92, from whatever Beta I was on.

I've gotten this several times on Nvidia Shield. I think it went away after an update though.

Also getting this constantly, and have had it for weeks with the latest versions. Same issue where suddenly the video will freeze or buffer and then state the error, go black and then reload.

I only started getting this error a month or so ago and before then I was getting the "Video source isn't working or incorrect time" issue with the same symptoms.

Have tried clearing data/cache, reinstalling, and using the Stable channel and no difference at all.

Are there any logs we can find anywhere to help narrow down what's going wrong?

Having this issue on fire stick and google tv, nothing's fixed it so far. Tried back up rollback,. Not using VPN so not sure what's causing these other than exo player or sponsor block at this stage

Still happening on stable 19.63

I've seen this sporadically over the past month or two, but in the past couple of weeks it happens at least once per video. I'm guessing it has something to do with ads? Feels like it happens whenever they would have inserted an ad into the video (every 5 minutes or so).

I'm on a Chromecast with version 19.63
