Running Kodi 20 on shield tv using nordvpn with real debrid enabled. All of my streams stop after about two minutes. The stream will briefly show buffering but instead of actually buffering, it just boots me back to search screen. This is happening on crew, promise and seren. As soon as I disconnect from nord, this issue goes away.
I had the same issue when upgrading to a Nvidia shield pro and posted this same question on that subreddit and got this answer;
Its just bad timing. Nordvpn is buggy right now. Switch the protocol from wireguard to Openvln TCP. Should work fine.
This worked perfectly for me. Previously everything was hanging after 2 minutes and 13 seconds every time.
Why use a vpn with RD?
I have exactly the same issue on 19.4 and 20.
Tried without Nord VPN connected and it works fine.
With nord VPN connected, 2 mins in and it freezes and crashes streams.
Yes, exactly the same for me. Rolled back to 19.5 and was doing on there as well.
Running K21 Omega ,no issues with RD or Nord 
This has been driving me insane for the past 4-5 days. The troubleshooting and forum solutions I have tried up until I found this post, have been exhaustive!
Many thanks u/Toledojoe for highlighting this solution. One of my final troubleshooting steps was to turn off Nord VPN, sure enough, the issue went away. That then modified my Google searching to more of an issue with Nord and Shield / Kodi, and this thread came up pretty quickly.
I’ll try it this afternoon but feeling confident this is the exact cause for the 2 minute stream quitting back to menu.
A. Get a real VPN that doesn’t spy on you
B. Get rid of the VPN since you don’t need it. At all (for Kodi)
Yes they are cutting their throats!!!
They keep cutting Me OFF!!
