Credits screen minimizing and going black on streaming services

Hello, every time I watch a movie/TV show on my Roku TV when the credits minimize the screen goes black and I can only hear the audio. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Hi, Binweld

    Greetings and welcome to the Roku Community.

    Thanks for sharing the issue you've experienced with us, and we're sorry to hear about the trouble. May we know what content this issue occurs? Also, what channel/app is accessed while streaming this content? Further, have you already tried a system restart as a troubleshooting step to resolve the issue?

    Please keep us posted.

    All the best,
    Kash

      Hi Kash, thanks for getting back to me. It’s on any streaming service (Netflix, Crave, Disney+) on any tv show or movie. As soon as the screen minimizes to preview the next episode or other content the minimized screen goes completely black, you can hear the audio but can’t see anything.

      I have already tried a system reset and restored the TV to factory settings but the problem persists.
