App crashes when playing ATSC3 channel

[cran_wan]

Confirms this happens on tvOS, iOS, and macOS 27 beta.

Attempting to play an ATSC3 channel with AC-4 audio codec crashes the app (v7.1.0). If I transcode audio to AAC the channel plays just fine. Seems the crash occurs before playback actually starts.

Annual Reminder: If you install iOS/tvOS/iPadOS 27 betas, you are on your own

This is the yearly reminder that we do not support beta operating systems. If you want full support and reliability, please do not update to the latest betas. If you do so and things break, do not expect us to immediately fix anything to make Channels work on a beta Operating System. If you do install it, and things work great, or things are bad, feel free to report them. This is helpful. But we generally don't get things ready for the new OS until it's released, because Apple ships VERY buggy …

If it's happening in non- beta os, I'm sure they will help on that.

This has been fixed in the Testflight beta.

You can join our TestFlight beta program by visiting Channels — Beta Program from an iPhone or iPad and then downloading the TestFlight app on your Apple TV.

If you do not have an iPhone or iPad please email your Apple ID email address to [email protected] and we can add you.

Thanks all. I can confirm the latest beta fixes this.

I did try yesterday with the beta app but it was not updated at the time.
