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.

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.

Restart/ reinstall is not helping -

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.

This is still an issue.

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…

Still an issue for me during VODs

This isn't just happening for VoDs for me, it's always happening for regular streaming. I've tried bumping my streaming quality to the lowest possible option, still happening. It's so furstrating.

Same issue as others have been experiencing. Restarting Apple TV along with rebooting the TV does not yield successful results. Pausing and playing playback is only a momentary fix. It’s absolutely absurd that a company such as Twitch has not acknowledged nor has addressed this issue. Unreal.

Same issue here on two different Apple TVs. It’s definitely an app issue/update problem. This happens with live video streams for me as well, not just vods.
