Update Again:

I know I'm just kinda talking out loud now, but I may have narrowed down another fix without having to switch to OMX player. It would appear that turning power saving mode off can also allow the default video player to work without freezing.

Anyone care to give insights into this? I'm curious as to why and how it's affecting it. I have flipped it off and on several times, and the issue goes and comes with those tests.

Power saving disables redndering of redundant frames after the description or title has scrolled once (or, instantly, or never):

Is that when the freeze occurs?

This seems exactly right. I just never noticed the correlation between the description scrolling and the freeze. After it scrolls once, that is pretty much when the video freezes each time (can vary, but ballpark). This is why it would seem turn ing PS mode off stops this. So very good info!

I will say this line seems to conflict with what we already know: "PS is disabled while running Videos through VLC." If you have to turn OMX on, wouldn't VLC be the video player by default? And we know it does not disable the freezing unless we manualy turn it off. But other than that, it seems all good now!
