tVOS 17.0 Twitch App VOD video goes black after 5 minutes of watching
The Twitch Apple TV app does not work on the new tvOS 17.0 OS just released. When watching a VOD the video will suddenly go all black but the sound will continue playing.
The Apple TV Twitch App is literally unusuable in this state. Please fix this.

Can we report this problem other places as well so someone can fix it?

Also having this problem and it makes watching videos a miserable experience. Changing framerate in app doesn't solve the issue. Changing video settings on apple TV settings also doesn't fix the issue. So it must be an app specific problem.

This is the most talked about, highest voted discussion in the last 3 years. It's not a feature request, it's a major bug. Still no response. Sad state.

It's been more than one month. No app update has been released. The issue still exists. The app version is the same.

For me, this is affecting in-progress streams as well as VODs.

This is an awful bug that ruin everything for the Twitch VOD experience. It has became unwatchable, sometimes happens twice in 30s.
Please, it’s been 1 month and a half, still not fixed is just unacceptable at this point. -

This has been happening to me regularly as well, on both livestreams and VODs. It is extremely annoying and makes the app basically unusable.

Updating the Appletv OS to 17.1 more out of hopeful desperation than any real expectation based on the earlier comments.

All vods are broken with the new update. Sometimes goes to black every 10 minutes, sometimes every 30-40 seconds. Totally unusable. Apple TV 4k with Twitch app on latest update.

The pathetic thing is that this is an issue that directly impacts the usability of the app and it goes unnoticed. This isn't feedback, a suggestion, or something nice to have. This is a community telling you that your app is busted and doesn't work. You'd think that would prompt some response by the development team.

Still an issue. Pay for Turbo (at this new higher rate) and this is the quality of service we receive?? /sigh
Verification code was 404365 the other day and never has anything been more on the nose.

Hey maybe take the time to fix your broken app when there's a critical error impacting a significant amount of people. Not many people will take the time to post or vote here, and this is only a small fraction.

Still broken. How about fixing the problems before adding new features that are half baked.

This is a constantly annoying issue with watching Twitch on the Apple 4K TV. Get your stuff together, Twitch.

So I think we there has been no twitch response to this post in over 30 days, it’s clear that twitch devs either don’t know what they are doing or twitch doesn’t care about its users. Prob explains twitch’s poor financial performance…
