Apple TV 4K causing tv to crash

I have a 2019 Xiaomi 4k tv which I used with an Amazon fire stick 4k for a few years without any hassle. I recently got a 2022 Apple TV 4K and hooked it up to the tv. It plays from YouTube without any problem but crashes when playing content from Netflix, Apple TV app, etc. I’ve tried lowering the video settings but it doesn’t make a difference.

does anyone have any ideas?

Apple TV video playback crashes every time within seconds of opening a video on my M4 Macbook Pro. I'm on macOS Sequoia Version 15.4.1, M4 MacBook Pro. Every time I try to watch a series with the Apple TV app, the video player crashes and closes itself within seconds of playback. It doesn't matter which series I'm watching. I'm able to use Apple TV streaming via the browser, but this is not optimal since the resolution is much better using the Apple TV app.

Prime Video fails on Apple TV I've used the Amazon Prime Video app on Apple TV without incident for a couple years, but recently Prime Video fails to open. All other Apple TV apps work fine. I tried checking for an update to Apple TV software, but I'm apparently running the latest version (16.2). I tried deleting and reinstalling the Prime Video app and restarting the Apple TV 4K device but this did not fix the problem. When I try to open Prime Video, sometimes I get an error message (in German!) and sometimes there is just a black screen. I never see the sign in screen. Since all other Apple TV apps work normally, and I can't get any help from Amazon support, does anyone in Apple community know how to fix the problem?

Framerate issues when playing content on Apple TV 4K For some reason I am getting low frame rate issues when playing content on my new Apple TV 4K. For example, when I watch shows/movies on the Apple TV app, the frame rate is visibly lower than when I watch content through my normal smart TV apps, or my Fire stick. I’ve tried enabling match frame rate and dynamic range, changing the video format, etc, but nothing seems to be working for some reason. Does anyone know what the issue could be and how to resolve it? I will have to send my Apple TV back if I cannot resolve this issue.

Close those apps and restart your Apple TV and tv to see if this resolves it . Make sure you’ve updated all software as well.
