Hi everyone! We’ve been working hard on improving playback performance in our Apple TV client, namely when streaming high bitrate HDR content and/or using the latest 2022 (fanless) Apple TV. This is something that not only we’ve been investigating for some time, but that has been reported multiple…

Yes, I meant Sonos :slight_smile: Sorry long day over here (I’ve corrected my post now thanks!)

ALL: As suggested by folks in this thread, given the age and length of this thread, to bring this thread into better focus, and with permission from @Craig_Holliday , I will be archiving older, less critical posts to an attached “-Archive” thread. If I accidentally archive something I shouldn’t,…

What will happen to the experimental player TestFlight if the player is not going to be released? Is it possible to shut it down and free up some spots for those of us who cannot get into the TestFlight for the new experience?
