There does seem to be something going on. Some testing I have done.
Using my main machine - win10 - with all latest windows updates and using chrome or IE or edge browsers, I am seeing similar symptoms to you. Plays for a bit then stream seems to die.
Using a laptop that is win 7 , not up to date with latest windows updates using chrome - plays fine.

I suspect that this is a issue with a windows update that came out around march 16 KB4013429

"Known issues in this update
Windows DVD Player (and 3rd party apps that use Microsoft MPEG-2 libraries) crashes when run.
Workaround
This issue is currently being addressed and a fix will be provided when ready."

Something else you can try if you are using win 10 is to download and install the win 10 filmon app from the MS app store here

Using the app, rather than a web browser on my main win 10 machine does seem to work for me.
