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 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.

It is ridiculous that one month later this core functionality issue has not been fixed. The Twitch App is a joke, even a Web View would be better...

Come on Amazon. You are doing this on purpose in order to force Apple TV users to buy your produdcts. That is a bad attitude and dirty move.
FIX THAT. -

There are ideas posted after this one with less votes that are in “Gathering Feedback”. @TwitchAdmin, if any are even monitoring this thread; can you weigh in on why this app breaking bug cannot even get acknowledgement from the Admins? I’m reaching out to Amazon Corporate Monday AM, maybe they can motivate you to do your jobs.

I’m having this issue too! It’s very frustrating. I have to pause and press play again to get it to come back

Literally tried everything and anything to overcome this issue and still nothing helps. Watching anything above 720p causes this black screen. Definitely an TVoS app issue as this doesn’t happen through my TV’s Twitch App
