Hey guys! I’ve been digging into this issue with @darcilicious’ help (thank you!! 
) and it seems a weird issue with AVPlayer (Apple’s video player) or tvOS.
If you check this thread: Apple TV 4K content playback error seems like enabling Match Frame Rate in tvOS settings causes AVPlayer to download insanely slow for some reason. I’m unable to reproduce it, I always have high download rates, but @darcilicious provided me several logs with different settings and these were the results:
- With Match Frame Rate enabled, AVPlayer would download at ~44 KB/s
- With Match Frame Rate disabled it would go up to ~3 MB/s, which makes a huge difference.
@darcilicious tested then with the Enhanced video player and it worked perfectly, so it has to be something inside tvOS / AVPlayer when Match Frame Rate is enabled.
TLDR; if you have this issue 1) try to use the Enhanced video player if possible, and if not 2) disable Match Frame Rate from your tvOS settings.
Let me know if any of that helps!
