Two problems with ESPN Plus app on Apple Tv

  1. When I try to use multicast in ESPN app anytime I start a second feed I get a black screen and hear the audio from the 1st feed. Only solution is to exit multicast.
  2. If I picture and picture with ESPN app and another app (for example MLB app) I get picture from ESPN app but no sound, except I can here tones when I move around the app (I just don’t hear the audio of the feed of the game I am watching on the ESPN app). This is true whether I start with the ESPN app first and then add another app or I start with another app and then add the ESPN app.

Hey All!


I found a solution that worked for me. This is what I did (for Apple TV Users):


-There is a Apple TV OS update, so I went ahead and did the update.

-I then deleted the ESPN App from my Apple TV and re-downloaded it.

-When I opened the app it automatically logged me out and asked me to put in my credentials


When I did all that, it seemed to do the trick. So far so good!


Hope this helps and works for you all.


(I posted an image, but for some reason the image is upside down and don't know how to fix that, but you can see the multicast it working for me now)

I’m having this issue as well. Singular broadcasts work just fine. Trying to add a game with multiple broadcasts will show a black screen with only audio. So far I haven’t found a way to get this to work. Super frustrating considering this is a feature we’re supposed to be able to use and it’s very concerning with NHL playoffs coming up. Hopefully this can get fixed soon.

So glad I’m not the only one with this problem. Also following the NHL and very annoying issue. I tried deleting the app and redownloading. I also tried a hard restart of the Apple TV box.


No luck.


Assuming it’s an issue with the app. Hoping it gets fixed before Stanley Cup Playoffs. Horrible timing for this to happen.

I have had this issue since they updated the app on 4/2. I called ESPN + services and they tried to tell me to sign out of my account and unplug the device for 15 minutes then setup again and of course that did nothing. The multicast feature used to be great and now it is broken on the Apple TV app. It works perfectly fine on the ESPN App for the Xbox Series X. Unfortunately there is no way to complain or roll back to a previous version so we are stuck with the broken app for now with the Stanley Cup playoffs starting.
