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…

Any chance the tags can be cleaned up with this thread? Perhaps remove Apple TV, iOS and iOS-Beta?

Started happening again today with 2026.9.0. Finished an episode and hit back to go back to plex home and it sent me to ATV home. Tried to open plex and it kept crashing. Had to uninstall and reinstall to get it to allow it to load.

Perhaps with the new lifetime plex cost of $750, they’ll be able to afford releasing the Apple TV app, finally? :stuck_out_tongue:

The current app is on the old codebase without the ‘remote watch’ limitation enforced. If they wait til after the July 1 price increase, there are going to be a lot who don’t find out about the need of plexpass/subscription until after. I would not expect the AppleTV app to push until after July1 …

Player still broken since 2019 while extorting a user base for monthly revenue :rofl::rofl:

New update is 2026.10.0. Seems to have fixed the focus issues. Everything highlights as I would expect it to when first loading the app and selecting stuff in continue watching. Honestly, Plex devs, unless you can get HDR10+ support out soon or spiff up DV (like confirming if it is even real DV…), …

With today’s update 2026.10.0 (1743), I can no longer disable LiveTV captions at all. Previously, they’d be enabled by default even when the setting showed disabled, But now the previous work around of turning them on and then off again in the playback setting no longer works, and captions are stuck…

Same issue with Live TV Captions, along with app and Server crashing. I could not use the app till I restarted the Server. I was only trying to turn on Captions to only cause a system crash. :face_with_peeking_eye:

They’re not just extorting. Now they’re running a scam by charging $750 for a lifetime pass. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3144906/plex-pass-750-lifetime-price-is-for-suckers.html
