[2023] Twitch(specifically) just stopped streaming to chromecast yesterday evening, any ideas?

while you're at it, can you fix the flicker that people have been complaining about for months on this same app? Literally gonna give someone a seizure.

This is a little off topic, but another Chromecast bug has existed for years on the twitch app, and maybe you can make people aware. When you cast a vod to Chromecast at source quality, it will simply stop after a few minutes.

See for example: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310225-twitch-applications-tv-apps/suggestions/41322055-chromecast-vods-freeze-at-1080p

Hi, Twitch staff here. This is a known issue and we're investigating possible causes.

Update: Fixes are propagating and we hope that all clients are fixed by 2:30pm PT.

Hi. I experience the same flicker when using the Twitch app on my Android TV.

I have different Android TVs/Chromecasts and have the same issue on all of them.

When watching a stream every few seconds it flickers. The screen goes black for a few milliseconds. It doesn't happen during adverts only streams.

Reducing the source resolution makes it flicker less. But then it's blurry.

Casting the same stream doesn't have the issue at all. It's only when viewing the stream directly through the app. I have also noticed it happens if using a Web Browser and the twitch web site on my Android TV rather than using the Twitch app. Only casting doesn't cause it.
