SwiftUI tvOS Video Streaming - Auto-Pause Issue After 2-3 Hours

[sanatillayev]

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a SwiftUI tvOS app that streams TV channels, and I’m encountering an issue where the video automatically pauses during streaming after approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours of continuous playback. I’ve tried using isIdleTimerDisabled = true but it doesn’t seem to resolve the problem.
Details:
• Platform: tvOS (SwiftUI)
• Issue: Video pauses automatically after ~2:45-3 hours of streaming TV channels
• Attempted solution: isIdleTimerDisabled = true (didn’t work)
• Stream type: Live TV channels
• Player: KSPlayer

Questions:

1. Is there a specific capability or entitlement needed for continuous video streaming on tvOS?
2. Are there other approaches to prevent automatic video pausing during live TV streaming?
3. Has anyone encountered similar issues with SwiftUI video players on tvOS?
4. Could this be related to memory management or system-level timeouts after extended playback?
5. Are there any tvOS-specific limitations for continuous streaming that I should be aware of?

Additional Context:
The timing seems very consistent (always around the 2:45-3 hour mark), which makes me think this might be a system-level limitation rather than a network or memory issue.
Any guidance, code examples, or suggestions for debugging this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
