Hi,

We identified massive amounts of leaked memory with the tvOS 26 standard player user interface as soon as chapters (navigation markers) are involved.

Artwork images associated with chapters are not correctly released anymore, leaking memory in chunks of several MiBs.

Over time apps will be terminated by the system due to excessive memory consumption.

The issue was reported to Apple as tvOS 26 regression: Huge memory leaks associated with navigation marker artworks displayed in the tvOS standard user interface, filed under FB21160665.
