What kind of playback issue? And what's the version of Crunhyroll app? Have you tried clear data, to see if that fixes the issue? You can always get an older version from apkmirror to see if that fixes the issue. Until, its fixed on Playstore.
I stream daily on v3.69.1. Its been flawless so to speak.
I cleared the data and even reinstalled the app. I tried version 3.44.0 (which was the last one that worked), but I received a pop-up stating that I need to update Crunchyroll to use it. I'm getting the error code EXO-1004, which means that a connection could not be established. I've tried multiple solutions, including different VPN servers, various Wi-Fi networks (both public and private), and even mobile data, which came at an expense.
The latest version is 3.70.2. If even this fails. You would have to report this to crunchyroll. I'm guessing some compatibility issue with LineageOS and crunchy. Can you stream videos on other DRM protected apps. Try the ones which have a free trial or allow to cancel to test the theory.
Also, does it work on other smartphones in your home?
