VLC For XBox One Crashes When Background Streaming Music via UPNP

Title says it all. Not 100% sure on what's causing the crashes. Initially I suspected that it was because the playlist I was using had an ALAC in it (conveniently the same song crashed the app twice, but then I removed it from the playlist and it did it again after about the same duration of play from the overall list). But the issue persisted without it present.

Given that it crashes after playing for about the same amount of time (probably like an hour of streaming?) I think it might have something to do with that. Will try streaming via FTP later and see what that does.

I thought it was just me. I have been having this same exact problem background streaming Google Play Music to VLC via Bubbleupnp. Sometimes it will work flawlessly for several hours and sometimes it will crash in the middle of a song after ten minutes. Constantly restarting is frustrating. Its disappointing because this seems to be the only way to stream Google Play Music to XB1. I hope someone has a solution or any sort of suggestion. Thanks

I'm about to push an update (2.5.4) which contains a fix for this specific issue.
