I'm in the UK and have a playlist of various local and national stations the vast majority being in mp4 format or AAC/+, and are in various bit rates from 56k all the way up to 320k for the BBC ones.
Before the update I've never had so much as a single issue with them.
Some streams are better than others, and sometimes I one will randomly work correctly, but mostly it's broken.
The result sounds very much like a broken cd stuttering and jerking back and fourth, the 8 o'clock news this morning was hilarious.
Anyway the particulars:
VLC Version: 2.5.12
My Phone: Samsung S7 edge
My Android version : 7.0
I also had VLC do some logging, I'll post the more interesting bit since you probably don't want the whole log.

Interestingly enough this is one of the Absolute radio streams, 64k aac+ and these are by far the worst. If there is anything else I can do to help my to help you let me know.
