    Title. The console or TV doesn't do it automatically. Should I do it manually every time for a better experience?

    ...but it's only happens when I use this app from Xbox, using native apps from TV this don't happen. What I can do?
    Sounds to me you have VRR enabled. Variable Refresh Rate works great in games, it's not so good with TV/movie steams or playing Blu-rays and DVD's. You'll either need to turn it off on the TV or the console before you stream or play BD or DVD discs on the console.

    If it's not a VRR issue it maybe the TV's game mode. Again, great for games, not great for video playback. You can get judder when watching movie streams with Game Mode on.

    Variable Refresh or Game Mode won't be running on the TV with the built in Smart Apps. Indeed, the smart apps should already be pre-configured for the best playback on your TV (i.e., no judder)

    Netflix won't work after streaming.

    So just that I understand your set up completely:

    You do NOT use the Xbox internal Mixer app for streaming? You have your PC do all the streaming, meaning you plug in the HDMI Out of your console to your Capture card and the PC streams everything from the Capture Card, right?

    Then you turn off the console (do you turn it off into "Power saving mode", or "just" into standby with "Instant on mode), and swtich the HDMI cable to your TV right?

    I'd assume the following:

    In order to watch streaming video like from Netflix and the likes, your TV and Xbox have to do a HDCP Handshake to establish an encrypted video data stream via the HDMI cable.

    If you switch the cable while the console is in "Instant On" mode, or the TV is already running, it might be that the HDCP handshake fails, and the Netflix app blocks video output to your TV, as it can't guarantee that the connection is encrypted between
    console and TV.

    Can you try the following when you have finished streaming:

    Turn off the console by holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds. Make sure your TV is off as well (normal standby should be OK). THEN switch the HDMI cable from your capture card to the TV. Only then turn on the console and TV and start launching
    the Netflix App.

    Additionally: Is your console enrolled in the Xbox Insider Program?
