I reset the old player item(remove all observers also) and avplayercontroller then add a new avplayerviewcontroller instance and avplayer and player item on playing a new asset/stream etc. It works fine and no crash in tvos 14, 13 etc. But in tvos 15.2 and above i get the following stack trace.
Below are the details i could collect from firebase, please check if it could help you to infer the cause of the crash. Thanks!

Add a CommentI'm helping (hopefully) mssaranya6@gmail.com in this thread.
I am also getting this crash. Same circumstances.
Starting up a video stream using AVPlayerViewController.
I also set up both a AVPlayerItem.status observer as well as a "timeControlStatus" observer.
Then when I change to a different stream, I remove the observers, stop the current stream using player.replaceCurrentItem(with:nil) - nil out properties holding on the playerItem & player properties.
Then start a new stream, creating all new playerItem (AVPlayerItem) & player (AVPlayer) objects.
Is there a known workaround or a way to prevent this crash? Am I doing something wrong? This current strategy has worked for years.
Getting reports from the customers about this crash.
We are receiving the same crash. Just because of this crasher our crash-free users went down from 99.5% to 95%
