You replied to me, not sure if you meant to or not. My mentions of Roku as a solution to the problem, and the possibility that the problem is caused by an interaction between multiple streaming devices (e.g., Sony and Roku), was definitely on topic. I agree that a general discussion of Roku TV vs Android TV belongs somewhere else. I am curious, though, about whether the problem we're discussing has ever occurred on a Roku TV. I think that's also on topic, since it would be another data point for the developers who are working on the problem.

It's interesting, Pandora is on at my place about 8-hours every day. I switched to going though the Roku before Christmas and it hasn't given me a bit of trouble since then.

I have a (probably wrong) theory about this. Since a number of people have mentioned Roku, I wondered if all of us experiencing this problem have a smart TV and a Roku connected to the same network. A possible explanation for those of us who have both is that the music stream at some point is being directed to the other device. On the device we're watching, the Pandora app is still active, but the actual audio is going somewhere else. I guess even without a Roku involved, the music output could be going to another output channel on the TV, or to another device on the network. If the Pandora engineers are ever able to duplicate the issue, they could probably test this theory.

To be clear, my playback does not stop after one song. It stops after an indeterminate number of songs. It has yet to happen on my Roku premiere after many hours of play. And force stop no longer works to fix it on my Sony TV.

Brilliant solution. I actually have a Roku and never thought of trying it. I'm not convinced, though, that's it a problem with the board. I've got solid-state boards that are 30-years old and still working fine. I suspect that it's a problem with the Sony software, like the many issues with search and the inability to keep proper track of the shows I've been watching, which keep getting worse and worse. I think the software hasn't been kept up-to-date because they want us to buy new TVs. My computer works fine, but not always with older software.

I'm guessing that your engineering team does not have an older Sony smart TV to test things on.

I have the same problem with my Sony TV. Doing A force stop fixes it, but only temporarily, usually for one day. I am on the free version of Pandora. I was thinking of subscribing, but not to an app that doesn't work.

This happens to me on my new Sony TV three or four times per week. Turning the TV off and on has no effect. The Wi-Fi is fine for all other devices in the house. If I wait a few hours it works again.
