@Moussa, you replied to necho back in April, saying it would be available later this year. It’s now September. Do we have an update?

It looks like the issue has been addressed.

I’m not having any serious issues anymore. What works for me if a show is buffering or giving errors is doing a quick restart of my ps5. Idk why it works but it does for me.

Restarting your PS5 **every time** it buffers, is **not** a solution.
