Choppy audio when video loops, intermittent (video example + logs)

Here's a recording of the moment the audio glitch starts happening: https://youtu.be/v_7w0CUyxzo
This happens intermittently during my 24/7 live stream. The video is a 1h 42m loop, and the music is coming from Radio DJ software on the same machine. Most of the time the stream plays fine, but at 0:16 (in the linked video) at the exact moment the video loops back to the beginning, the audio starts glitching and sounds choppy/stuttery. It gets progressively worse; then by 4:20 the sound is completely choppy, and stays that way forever. The video pane in the OBS interface looks pure white, and OBS is laggy and unresponsive. If I close and reopen OBS, the video pane is still white and the audio glitchy even before I start streaming. I have to reboot the computer in order to fix it.

This same problem has happened on 3 different computers.

There are 2 attached log files. From 7/9 to 7/13 the stream was fine, but at about 7:40 AM on 7/14 the audio glitch happened (see linked video). Unfortunately the log file doesn't show dates, just times. I was informed at 9:29 AM on 7/14, so I stopped streaming and shut down OBS. The second log file was my attempt to relaunch OBS without rebooting, but the glitch was still there.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried using a VLC source instead of a media source for the video? I've run in to instances where the performance of the VLC source was significantly better than a media source.

Also you have quite a few 'failed to open' error on files in the log. Lines like this:

Code:
Failed to open file 'F:/Graphics/Working/Launch Sites/Launch site Wallops Island VA.png': No such file or directory

I've found that eliminating errors like those usually helps performance.
