Apple Player Update Beta Testing

Hi Craig, thanks for the update on the situation.

I can only imagine the developmental headache that is having three Beta tracks
(Plex Beta, Plex Experimental Player Beta, and Plex Experience Preview) all at once!

Thus, I’m not surprised that your efforts going forward are focused on Plex Experience Preview.

Like others in here, and as @Matthew_Rumley notes in this thread, and in the megathread of Experience issues, though - we all really, truly would like to see Plex Experience use the Apple-native AVPlayerViewController UI (linked against the tvOS 15+ SDK to take advantage of the numerous improvements made since tvOS 15), in preference to the custom UI as seen in the 5 builds of Plex Experience Preview for tvOS thus far.

Whilst the existing MPVKit + older AVPlayerViewController UI (linked against the tvOS 14 SDK) which Plex/Plex Beta/Plex Experimental Player Beta currently use and which suffers from stuttering/dropped frames/audio synchronisation issues/etc. still provides a better user experience in a better user interface, than what Experience Preview provides.

Craig, I (we?) hope that you can influence the direction the team take - and use this influence to push for a better overall UX!
