Apple TV+ is Apple’s subscription-based on-demand streaming service that provides viewers with exclusive and original content through various platforms.
Despite being a new streaming service in the market, Apple TV+ has more than enough content to feast your eyes upon.
But being a software application, Apple TV+ may tend to show signs of bugs and glitches from time to time, which may hamper the user experience.
In that context, recently complaints on Google forums and Reddit started to come in where Apple TV+ on Chromecast with Google TV (Android TV) is crashing for some users while watching Dolby Vision content. Some of the complaints are as follows.
The exact root cause of the issue is not known therefore, in order to get rid of the issue temporarily, people have figured out some workarounds for the same.
Workarounds for Apple TV+ crashing on Chromecast
- Change to Standard video quality – In the Apple TV+ app, there’s a setting to force the app to load videos in standard quality. As Dobly Vision only supports high definition content, it won’t be applied to the standard quality making the AppleTV + to not crash.
Though, if you can’t compromise on quality, this workaround isn’t for you.
- Disable Energy Optimisation – This is a bit of a hit or miss where some people have been successful in getting rid of the crashes while for some the issue still persists. Have a look for the workaround below by a user on Google forums.
We also found that a update for Apple TV+ was rolled out after users started facing crashes but that particular update had nothing to do with the issue and it still persists.
If none of the workarounds gave you any positive result then all you can do at the moment is to wait for an update which patches this annoying issue.
Another thing to note here users with Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, Apple TV are not facing crashes on Apple TV+ and Dolby Vision content works perfectly for them.
