TCL Roku TV Goes Dark after QR Code

My TCL Roku TV plays fine until an ad comes in with a QR code, on YouTube. When I go back to the video, the picture is black, but the audio is on. I have removed it, restarted the system, then reinstalled it. This helped for about a day. Then it happened again. I have a similar problem on my Haystack app. There, when the picture enlarged to full screen after scrolling

    We appreciate the information that you have provided to us, rhart3888!

    After attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. Channels on Roku are maintained by the channel developers themselves. In this case, there's likely an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from them.

    Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

    Kind regards,
    John

    With detailed information, we will be able to assist you further.

      I have attached a photo of the TV information you need. I only have the problem on YouTube, after an advertisement with a QR code on it. Not all of them, but quite a number. Haystack, I lose the video every time the picture gets bigger or smaller when paging thru the stories. It happens right in the middle of the video and is really irritating. If I just let it play, it's fine. Just can't pick and choose.
