Saw same on my Nvidia Shield. It is fixed in the latest beta release.
Updates to the Amazon store generally lag Google Play releases by days or sometimes weeks. You can sideload the beta release on a Firestick if desired. Sideloading is relatively easy via the Downloader app (Google “Firestick sideload” or similar for details). A sideloaded app will not auto-update with future releases. You can get back to auto-updates by deleting the sideloaded version and re-installing the app store version.
BETA:
- Player: crash could still occur when switching to the next video, if display mode switching was enabled.
- [TV] Player: crash when exiting the video player.
