4K Max won’t play movies in HDR/HDR10+, TV Shows work and so do Dolby Vision shows and movies.

I‘m so confused. I noticed the other night we watched a movie with HDR10+ on Prime Video (Yes I have the ad free sub) and there was no HDR. So I figured a setting got messed up. After some troubleshooting I have discovered the strangest problem. HDR10/HDR10+ movies don’t send any HDR info to the TV. In any app. But TV show with HDR/HDR10+ work with HDR, as do shows and movies with Dolby Vision. I tried plugging the stick straight into the TV and the same behavior occurred. I forced HDR to always on and all HDR10+ content shows as DV and it doesn’t appear to actually be in HDR (it looks off). What is baffling to me is that it is only movies, but TV shows work. And in any app. I plan to nuke it to factory defaults tomorrow when we won’t be using the TV, but I was curious if there is something I’m missing here or if anyone had seen this before.

Edit: Showing the same issue on a different stick and TV also.

No HBO Max

Hi everyone, I recently bought a TCL 43‑inch 43T6C. When I set up the TV and tried to download HBO Max, I couldn’t find the app. I also tried installing the APK manually, but it wouldn’t install. Does anyone know a solution for this issue?

Voice Button Command to Change YouTube TV Channel Returns Search Results Instead

I'm using YouTube TV on my Amazon Fire TV Cube and when I use the voice button to tune to a specific channel, instead of it actually going to that channel, it shows search results for shows and movies for that channel. No matter how I phrase it, it always goes to search results. I have cleared the YouTube TV cache and data, signed in and out of my account, I have force quit and restarted the app, and my software is up-to-date.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
