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.

I learned that by simply pausing for a bit and then resuming, the video playback will suddenly fast forward through all of the video that was previously left out before continuing as if nothing went wrong. During all of this, the only thing that works properly is the audio. This will still happen again, but repeating the workaround will allow video to continue playing properly for some time. There seems to be a disconnect between audio and video.

How is this not fixed yet? I have to beg my streamers to upload VODS to YouTube

Just go ahead and pay to watch it live on YouTube. It’s what we’ve done for the past few months and we are better off for it.

Adding a comment for every week this still happens. Fix this, unusuable app at this point for vod watchers. Or better yet we'll just switch to youtube for vods if this keeps up

Still happening, I have to keep pausing/unpausing VODs to watch them even on channels where I'm subscribed and paying. This is awful. It didn't do this before.

must be real nice to be a twitch engineer making 6 figures spending all your time working on adblock prevention measures while ignoring issues the community has been complaining about for years like this...

I thought they finally fixed this because for about two weeks I didn't have the issue but I watched a VOD last night and got the black screen every 30 seconds. Had to shut it off because it was unwatchable. This has been going on for over a year now.

Complicated workaround for this issue: use the twitch VOD/clip downloader by user lay295 on github, download the entirety of the VOD you want to watch, and host it on a local plex server to stream to your AppleTV. This is far from simple and requires significant effort to set up, but it's worked great for me and plays back without issues since I already have a plex server and a lot of HDD space. Hopefully this is useful for others too.

How is this still an issue after 6 months? I just canceled my Turbo since the Apple TV app is the main way I watch Twitch and VODs are unwatchable in this state.
