Occasionally (randomly?), videos are suddenly played at double or triple speed, without audio. Fixed only after reboot. Just me?

This could be due to buffering if the device is struggling to keep up with the frame rate?

I don't think so: it's not just the current video but any, until reboot. Thanks anyway.

It could be due to the system resources being tied up, so frames are skipped, then when the process gets some processor time it flies through the frames to catch up. The reboot kills the process(es) that are hogging the processor, hence playback is back to normal for a bit until the processor gets tied up again?

Hmm. This happens for videos played with any app, native or Android (hence, probably a codec issue). Killing Android doesn't fix the problem. The RAM is far from full (according to Sysmon, about 400 Gb used when Android is off). When AlienDalvik is running, I always use ATK to kill unwanted apps.
