Apple TV app movie playlists on Mac play audio only with blank screen

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I’m running a Mac and a MacBook Pro with the Tahoe OS. I like to make movie playlists on the Apple TV app with downloaded purchased movies. Sometimes when one movie ends and another one begins, the one starting is just audio only with a blank screen. This happens with specific movies, not all and not very often. Most end and start just fine. I download the movies on all the same option, most compatible SD (480p), but the same thing happens no matter what download option I use, and doesn’t matter if the downloaded movie is 4k or SD. Just wondering if there is a fix for this or if it just is something that happens and no workaround. I’ve tried clearing the up next list and clearing the caches and re downloading the movies, nothing seems to work. My MacBook Pro is a 2019 16 GB with an intel UHD Graphics 6301536 MB chip and my iMac is a 2021 8 GB with an Apple M1 chip both running Tahoe 26.7. Any suggestions?

Mac Pro (2019)
