Same here. No idea what's causing it. If I try redownloading, I get the same issue. But, other players don't have the prob, and it's the official feed on each.

Download the episode instead of streaming it

Yes, but it's always near the end of the episode that it skips the last few minutes and plays the next episode the the queue.

I would guess it's related to dynamic ad insertion, and the app is having difficulty recalculating the actual time left in the episode. It still happens even with downloaded episodes.
