I have a very weird problem with the Netflix app on my 3rd gen Apple TV (A1469). Playing movies works flawlessly but when I try to load up a TV-show, the Apple TV immediately reboots after 1-2 seconds of playing.
The problem is quite new – it’s doing that for around 2 weeks. First it was doing the reboot on some episodes of some TV-shows. Now it’s crashing with every episode of any TV-show.
It first occurred to me when I was binging the new season of Love, Death and Robots because I needed to verify my age for every episode to continue. Sometimes the episode would play, sometimes it would crash the Apple TV. So I thought it has something to do with the age verification. Now it’s not even possible to watch any tv show at all because it immediately crashes. As I said – movies are working flawlessly. Even with age verification.
All other apps like Prime or streaming with AirPlay work fine. Netflix doesn’t allow AirPlay so there’s no chance of watching Netflix TV-shows right now.
Has anyone else noticed these issues?
Is Netflix rolling out new codecs or stuff that the 3rd gen Apple TV is not capable of?
