Apple+ app on firestick buffering issue

I am getting terrible buffering issues with the Apple+ app on my firestick.

Some shows won't play at all while some will play the preview then sit buffering forever.

No issues with any other apps on my firestick, it's just Apple+

Even had Amazon replace the firestick but still the same.

Any suggestions welcome.

Apple news App slow, jerky scrolling. Terrible user experience I have an issue with the Apple News App on my MacBook Pro 2020 version running macOS Big Sur 11.1 (i.e. the latest version). Scrolling on Apple News app is appalling, jerky and slow. It works fine on my iPad and my iPhone but is a shockingly bad experience on the MacBook Pro! This really needs to be resolved Apple!

HBO Max.com not streaming on Safari on my brand new Mac Studio M2 Max MAX.com will not play on Safari on my new Mac Studio M2 Max i can stream on my MBP M1, my wife's MacAir, iPad Pro & Apple TV. it just won't stream on Safari on my new Studio. it goes to an error page with a long 36 character hash which (of course) won't let you copy & paste. i used my iPhone to grab the hash & pasted it into notepad. then sent it to Max.com's empty cache, empty history, restart browser, restart router, turn wifi ooff then on again.....when i switch to Chrome it plays fine. sure i can just switch over & play on Chrome, but i hate chrome. so many tracking pixels & cookies in Chrome that i avoid using it when i can. last year there was a DRM issue with HBO & Safari that they said was fixed. i'm wondering if it's related to my M2 chip since it's the only computer browser that can't access play.max.com without erroring. it plays the trailers, but craps out on playing the actual movies. And yes, i set the settings for play.max.com : ALLOW Autoplay OFF to content Blockers ALLOW Popup Windows [Edited by Moderator]

FullHD video playback stutters after recent update FullHD (1080p60) fullscreen streams (e.g. Twitch) constantly stutter after the recent Safari update. Not occurring on Firefox or Twitch app, or when said streams are viewed in a window.

Close all apps except for Apple TV. That worked for me.

What do you mean close all the apps? Sorry I am a novice
