Belt slipping

Hey everyone, new to the community but thankful you are here!!! Have an issue.
The other day, I heard a whistling in the engine when I accelerated. I thought it might be time to change the belt. That was easy, and if anyone has any questions on belt changing, I would be glad to help.
Put the belt on, started her up and no issues for about a minute, though she shook a little and then stalled. Got back under the car and the belt slipped about half an inch on the crankshaft pulley.
I went with easy first, and replaced the tensioner. Started her back up and same exact thing. Would you guys assume crankshaft pulley needs to be replaced? Thanks

That's what I thought too, and the reason I replaced the tensioner. The only two things the crankshaft runs to on the belt are the tensioner and alternator I believe. Yet it only comes off at the crankshaft, no where else. With the weird whistling and now the vibration, makes me think it may be worse.
