AppleTV 4K Disney Plus app black screen with sound...

So the app works fine except when I go to watch anything(movie or show) I get sound, but with a black/blank screen.


Anyone else have this problem???

Never mind. I figured it out.


If someone else comes across this with the same problem the fix is change HDMI input.


I have a Sony Bravia and for some reason it works fine in HDMI Input 1, 3 and 4. HDMI Input 2 gives me just sound with black screen.

Seems odd to me that after buying a streaming device that does 4K HDR on several apps (Netflix Amazon) just fine that anyone would be satisfied needing to set the device to output Disney+ to 1080 SDR. Unless of course your TV is only capable of that lower quality setting. Disney or Apple needs to fix their app on Apple TV 4K as anyone who owns a 4K HDR TV should insist on it. If Netflix and Amazon can get it right so should Disney.

I agree 100% with you. I have cat 6 wire so changing an HDMI is not an option for me I mean I would had to if it’s dead but that’s not the case. And as well just like yours Hulu, Netflix and tv+ work just fine. I have only audio and captions playing on selected movies. Pretty much all the new ones don’t have video. Someone mentioned something about 4K HDMI and mine is 4K so really not sure whats up with that. Tried to restart apple tv few times as well.

This is apple tv issue since everything plata on my iphone and macbook
