Woohooo!! Sign me up to test it! PS: I’m wondering if this will enable the “reduce flashing lights” accessibility feature. The current version doesn’t support this (apps that use the built-in player all do). In our household, it has become necessary. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

It’s becoming adopted pretty quickly actually, and will only become more mainstream in the next couple of years. Even on unsupported platforms software decoding isn’t as taxing as others from times past.

True; works pretty well on my 15 Pro Max currently. I believe M3 has decode support as well too. Crossing fingers for the new model in June or Fall this year.

Don’t know if it matters or not but ffmpeg 7 just dropped: https://www.phoronix.com/news/FFmpeg-7.0-Released demuxing, decoding, filtering, encoding, and muxing in the ffmpeg CLI now all run in parallel Could be a helpful performance improvement?

Important AArch64 optimizations for HEVC With Apple Silicon being Arm-based, might this be relevant for tvOS and iOS users?

I signed up for the beta about a week ago. I am just wondering how long it usually takes to get a beta-version? Would love to see if I can now playback my 4K HDR files on my AppleTV 4K…

[image] Apple Player Update Beta Testing Player Betas Hey everyone, me again with a minor update. Thanks so much for all the testing so far. We are continuing to investigate the HDR and Dolby Vision issues. Namely, HDR has incorrect colors and/or color banding issues. …

Hello everyone, Do we have an estimated date for the stable release of the fix? Thank you :slight_smile:

I don’t think you’re going to get an ETA on any official release. At this point most of us are just waiting for the next beta build which will (hopefully) include HDR/banding fixes.

There was only ever one beta release as far as I am aware and then normal beta channel releases superseded it.

Does this mean we should be on the regular beta release channel or switch back to a production version? I only have access to this beta.
