Rainbow “explosion” on Apple TV app for Xbox.

On the Xbox Apple TV App (using on an Xbox Series X), if you fast forward while watching a replay of a live event, for me it is Formula 1 Bahrain Qualifying in Sepang, the entire broadcast devolves into what I can only describe as a rainbow explosion.


I have a picture attached. You cannot reset it even after restarting the app from the Xbox, rewinding to the beginning, changing streams or videos, launching another app and re-opening Apple TV, etc.

For more context - Running on 4k UHD. This does not happen with any other application that live streams video via Xbox.


ESPN, Paramount, Netflix, and HBO Max applications were all tested and did not reproduce this error.
