Hi guys,

I just noticed some strange stuttering issue on my Apple TV 4K (tvOS 13.3, 4K Dolby Vision). I first noticed it during the screensaver. Everything was pretty smooth for 2 or 3 seconds and then a short stutter appeared, then back to smooth and 2 or 3 seconds later another short stutter etc. I then switched to the YouTube app and loaded up a 60 fps video and there I saw the exact same thing. Restarting the Apple TV solved this problem so far but is it normal that the Apple TV does this sometimes or is there anything wrong hardware-wise?

Thanks and best wishes
Chris

I use my appletv exclusively for the television and I experience this a few times a week. Like you, I simply reboot and it's good for another day or two.

Okay, good to know. Let’s hope a future tvOS update fixes this 👌

Happy New Year 🥳
