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…

then please do not release it :confused:

It’s very much the new Roku experience but without the pop over functionality (so closer to the early Roku release). There is an Eac3 7.1 fix in the works, it made it into a Nov beta but didn’t make the iOS public release for some reason. DV 7 falls back to HDR10, and DV 5 and 8 are functional. Bo…

Any update on when an updated Test Flight version will be released?

Those with the beta: does it not passthrough DV in mp4 or mkv? aka. DV switches TV to DV mode… DV mp4 should be playable via native AVPlayer and mkv only requires a simple remux on the server.

@BigWheel Not sure if you saw my last post but would very much appreciate it if you could provide a ballpark target delivery date for the tvOS production release. Are we looking at Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4 2026?

[image] SE56: A bonus, Subtitles are supported for external and Find with sync, which is a real plus in my book. Preview App still doesn’t handle subtitles like most Apple TV Apps – With Auto (Recommended) that will display subtitles with 10 sec (or more) replay. Seems simple enough to do a…

Wow, that’s great customer support. The current tvOS app has been broken for 3 years and your response to when will it be fixed is, ‘your guess is as good as ours?’ If you can’t predict delivery within a 2 - 3 month window then you have no business being in the software business. The Plex client…

[image] BigWheel: It will be ready when it is ready. I have no ETA. But this wasn’t the case when the roll-out started. So why are things slowing down like this? It’s only making things worse since you already jumped the gun and several clients are already live.
