I have been experiencing this same problem.  The Stream App acts as if it is being subjected to a poor internet connection, therefore stops and appears to buffer as 3 horizontal dots appear, and this will continue repeatedly.   Additionally, if the app does not actually stop with buffering dots, it will suddenly "skip" as if it has lost packets of data.  THE PROBLEM IS IN THE APP, 100%.  Xfinity will surely want to immediately say that the app should be uninstalled and reinstalled on my device or blame my home internet service (which is Xfinity 1 Gb speed) but I have taken steps to prove neither is the problem.  I have narrowed this problem to the latest update (Android Release 8.0.1.13) as this behavior is replicated on two different Android devices (Galaxy Tab S9+ and Galaxy S22+) and when playing recorded shows through a browser on my desktop. In addition, I have replicated the problem when turning off WI-FI on my Android and using mobile data as a secondary internet source.  The problem has become so significant, it is making this App unusable in terms of the user experience.
