Airplay with ESPN app won’t restart after commercials

Watching live Arkansas sports on ESPN+ app from iPhone 14 using airplay to LG tv. Every time there’s a commercial break, the stream stops. It does not show the commercials, and it does not restart after the commercial break. I have go into the app, select the game, and restart the stream. I’m up to date on iOS, ESPN app, and LG software.


If I’m watching only on my phone, the problem doesn’t happen.


I tested by watching a few different games today, and it didn’t happen on those. Commercial breaks were fine.


The stream stopped on one other Arkansas football game in September (game was only on SEC+). It’s happening again on an Arkansas basketball game also on SEC+. Again, it only happens when they go to commercial break.


It did not happen when using my Roku box direct HDMI to the same LG tv.


is there a setting somewhere I’ve set wrong? I don’t want to have to move my Roku every time I want to stream a game.

But Is it really a problem in the app if it works on the phone (and iPad) but not when using AirPlay? Is it a problem with the airplay function? Is it a problem with the TV? Is it best to start with the app in this situation? I guess I can give that a shot.
