14.1 on Roku Ultra 4800x shutting off TV when trying to watch 2025 movie

This happens in Netflix and Amazon Prime.  I already tried reinstalling the apps to no avail.  Funny thing is it’s only applicable to movies with a 2025 release date.  This just recently started.  If I use Netflix app from the TV there is no problem.  It only happens on the Roku.  I had no problem in January 17th when I watched Back in Action.

Just an update (Problem still exists)   I bypassed the receiver and plugged directly into the TV (Sony Bravia)  and has the same issue.  Tried different cables as well.   It's only on Movies with a release date of 2025 not any series- so far.    The movie starts and within seconds the TV powers off and flashes red.

Looking at the updates in the Roku it last updated 1/7/2025 to 14.1.4.   Meaning something changed between January 17th and now.  

2nd update.  Turns out the TV went bad 6 blinking red lights means LED back panel is having issues.  Sigh.  Hope this helps someone else.

Not sure what else to try at this point.
