BS Player Keeps Crashing when streaming

[MatH]

I have been using BS player for the past year. It has come on leaps and bounds and has improved massively over the past 12 months.

However I still have an ongoing problem with player crashing when streaming media online from YouTube. For some reason the player keeps crashing and closing down after about 10-15 mins or so of continuous use. Its really frustrating as I often listen to long YouTube talks at double speed and the player just randomly crashes and closes.

Also, I am having an issue with the audio dropping out of sync with the video. Its ok at first, but after continuous play of about 10 mins its gets progressively worse.

Here are my specs:

Galaxy s4 Android 4.4.2

My BS Player selected settings:
Video Decoding - Drop Frame if behind
Hardware (BS Player engine) decoding mode
Use Alternative HW decoding (checked)
Youtube Quality - 360p
Network Buffer Size - Large
Enable pre-buffering (checked)
SMB Timeout - 100 seconds

Any help or advice how to resolve this would be brilliant.

Thanks.
