1. tVOS 17.0 Twitch App video goes black after 5 minutes of watching

   Re posting this to the TV App bugs.

   Multiple users having issues with the app during any sort of playback.

   The Twitch Apple TV app does not work on the new tvOS 17.0 OS . When watching a VOD or live stream, the video will suddenly go all black but the sound will continue playing.

   This issue has been reported multiple times not only here but also as feedback, and nothing has been done, and there have been no acknowledgements from the team.

2. Appletv

   The new update - March 3 2023 - has so many downgrades! There are some issues that I was hoping to be addressed, but instead we got more problems.

   1) Not being able not see more than the top 25 Live Followed Channels is a big problem. There are a lot of new and growing streamers I follow, support and moderate that are getting zero visibility with this new update.

   2) Not being able to chat from the tv, and instead being sent to a QR code that connects to the mobile app stops the ability of people participating directly from their tv. I multiscreen watch lots of streamers at the same time, and this stops me from contributing to the one on the tv now, which is unfair.

   3) The chat has become harder to read. The font is smaller and not as legible. ALSO, most chatters names now show up as just white, which makes following the chat much harder than it was in the past.

   4) When someone donates bits, it shows up half the time as the emote and half the time as the lettered bit emote name (no emote image), which is silly.

   5) We still can’t follow a raid, which was taken away during the last update, which is counterproductive to growing twitch and other channels. I figured that would be changed in the update, but it’s still gone.

   6) The lack of animated emotes in the chat bar should have been addressed after all this time as well, but the chat visibility and functionality on the appletv app has slipped even farther behind as opposed to ahead to reflect the growth twitch has been making.

   I’m sure there are other glitches I just haven’t come upon yet, but I’m sure I’m not alone with these complaints and suggestions.

4. Please make some major updates or bring back the old version of the Apple TV app

   The new version of the Apple TV app is not at all user friendly. It lags, is difficult to navigate, and is not customized to me as a viewer the way the old version was. There is no option on my home page anymore for “recently viewed” VODs that I may want to continue watching. Instead now my home page is filled with suggested streamers I couldn’t care less about and I need to navigate all the way over to my followed streamers to get back to a VOD I was previously watching. Also there is no option as a viewer to see or hide the chat playback of a VOD which, in my option, is one of the best parts of watching a VOD on Twitch. It’s so frustrating that I don’t even have that option now as a viewer if I want it. Please please please make these changes and/or bring back the old app. I watch about 90% of streams on my Apple TV but now every time I turn it on these changes just anger me and make me not want to use it.

6. Rollback the FireTV App to V9

   The loss of functionality of V10 when compared to V9 is baffling. The redesigned UI is nigh incapable of assisting the user with finding non-live content, since the home, bowse, and category pages now only present live channels to the user.

   In the prior app version, all followed channels were listed in a dedicated row about 2 rows below the top/live followed channels row. By removing this and all other non-live content, V10 of the FireTV app delivers an experience that is order of magnitudes more cumbersome to navigate compared to the prior version.

   In the updated version users are required to search for individual channels (followed channels included) if they're looking for ANY non-live content, even content they've started watching but had to pause and return to later. Why on Earth should we have to go to the search section and search for any of that content in V10 when V9 gave it to us in a clean and concise manner. Moreover, if we want to know what our followed streamers have recently streamed, we have to search each one individually. And once we've made a decision on who to watch, we get to search them a second time in the same session. It's ridiculous and wasn't so cumbersome in V9.

   I could give this a pass if the UI presented the most recent broadcast for each followed channel along side all the live followed channels at the top of the home screen. While still not ideal, at least then I'd only have to waste at most a little time passing through a vod I may not be interested in to get to their profile and find the content I'm ultimately looking for. But I can't even do that, and am instead shoehorned into searching for streamers I already follow.

   And to top it all off... The chat history has been completely removed from the vods, and you can no longer send chat messages in the FireTV app.

   You also can't force the playback overlay to hide in V10, and instead have to wait 5 seconds for it to disappear on its own. Before, in V9, you could hide it without delay by pressing down

   Why has so much functionality been removed and the user experience worsened so tremendously?? Keep V10 and give us back V9!!!

8. VOD Playback Severely Broken - Unusable / Unbearable

   The Apple TV app does not work on tvOS 17.0 recently released. When watching a VOD, the video will suddenly go all black but the sound will continue playing. Momentarily pausing playback briefly gets rid of the black screen. The issue will return. Restarting Apple TV, TV, or the app does not fix the issue.

   Currently, the Apple TV app’s use is unbearable when it comes with watching VODs.

   Please address this.

9. Chat text size is now too big. It's enormous

   It looks like the Twitch app was recently updated on Fire TV, and the text size is now enormous. I can only see three comments at a time most of the time, sometimes a single comment doesn't fit on screen. It's really hard to follow conversations. I thought the text size was about perfect before this update. I have a fire TV stick capable of 4k but don't have a 4k tv. Not sure if that's part of what's going on.

10. QR Code now required to chat on AppleTV

    Why remove any ability for users to chat directly via an AppleTV, and enforce QR codes on TV screen to be scanned just to “Join The Conversation” in chat on an entirely different device, and needing Twitch app to be installed to only open Chat-only Mode for same stream; when, chat window is already open and ready to be used on AppleTV via Twitch (tvOS) app.

    An AppleTV remote can already use Siri/buttons to talk/type; plus, an iPhone can also sync with an AppleTV to be used as remote control without having to even have Twitch (iOS) app open at all.

    Chat-Only Mode on Twitch (iOS) app also needs to maximise screen space and/or have the ability for chat window to enter fullscreen-mode, as top portion of screen is wasted by having dedicated window for stream not being used at all in chat-only mode.

12. Please allow more than the top 25 streams we follow to load under the following section of the updated app (3-2-2023)

    The latest updated (3-2-2023) to the AppleTV only shows the top 25 streams we follow even when viewing the Following section of the app. So we are unable to see all the streamers we follow that are live with lower viewer counts which doesn’t seem fair, to those streamers with lower viewer counts, as they will not show up as being live unless specifically searching for them.

13. Hire a new development team

    It's pretty clear the current teams responsible for all of these app developments are failing miserably at their job. These apps have been broken for years. In the instance of AppleTV the new app updates did nothing to address the real issues people have been complaining about on this forum. I'm proposing a WILD idea of letting this incompetent department go, and outsourcing to an agency that's actually capable.

    The reality is this isn't difficult work, in fact it's VERY straight forward stuff.
    UX design is SIMPLE.
    Coding is SIMPLE.
    Adhering to device architecture is SIMPLE.
    Letting go of incompetent workers is SIMPLE.

    With the right teams all of these issues could be solved within a few weeks time. I work with several agencies that are more than capable of doing this work and I can even put you in contact with them.

16. Raid Trains Shouldn't Fail on AppleTV

    I have a PC and AppleTV in the same room. 100% of the time, Raids will fail to move channels on the AppleTV. Please investigate so AppleTV will follow a Raid to the raided channel and not leave us abandoned on the original channel. I think this is why we are seeing so many incomplete raids and hosts are trying to send Raid 'shuttles' when they notice only 95% of their viewership correctly raided over to the new channel.

20. Revert Android TV update or re-add removed features

    The most recent update to the Android TV version of the app is lacking in functionality and preformance. The app was visually more appealing before as well as having better functionality and quality of streams.

    The decision to completely remove the ability to chat via the app is poorly thought out at best, and plain lazy at worst. On my Nvidia Shield I have the ability to use voice to text and to connect an external keyboard to type. Why do I need to use my phone to chat when there is literally already a spot for the function to go. It simply doesn't make sense. You have also removed the live preview feature from the browsing part of the app. This is not only a unnecessary removal but has actually resulted in a poorer preformance of the app.

    The apps preformance has also seemingly fallen off a cliff. When I select streams they are never at the maximum available quality despite me having 1000mb/s download. Streams also take 5+ seconds to load in most cases as opposed to being available almost immediately before. This is likely due to the fact that hovering over a chanel no longer provides a live preview. Why is this removed?

    The app also generally is more cluttered and less appealing. Everything has this giant extra white background that appears around it when you hover over it. This white box is blinding compared to the darker features of most games and also covers large swaths of the screen. You are also unable to dismiss the, for some reason larger than before, UI that appears when viewing a stream. This UI also needlessly darkens the screen by a large amount while selecting stream quality or navigating to enable/disable the now lackluster chat box.

    Please immediately revert this massive downgrade disguised as a "update", or commite to fixing these glaring issues and readding the core feature of chatting to the app.
