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.

Screen goes black. Audio still plays. When video does come back it's super sped up like it's correcting for the time screen was black. This is happening on live streams. Please fix the issue.

I'm really glad that the streamers I follow post their VODs to YouTube, so I can get an actually decent viewing experience. Scrubbing and UX in general is easier, too.
The Twitch app is painful in so many ways, but the fact that this issue has been going on for THIS long, across multiple Apple TVs and across resolutions and HDMI cables...
Get it together, guys. You trying to ignore your users as much as Plex ignores theirs or something?

Ok I lied. It also affects livestreams as well. I thought it was just vods, sadly not.

Issue still occuring despite app reinstall and system reboot, setting DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, resetting the AppleTV.
Why on earth would anyone subscribe to twitch no-ads universally if you can't use the app?
Your number one show is Critical Role, you know this. It's long. We need to be able to watch VOD. I want to support things I enjoy that are long format on your platform. Why are you making it hard for me to want to give you money? Fix the bug.

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.

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.

Getting black screen problem watching any stream an the AppleTV. Very annoying.
TvOS 17.0 (21J354)
Restart/ reinstall is not helping
