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…

I have “Lock to landscape” disabled in Plex, and “Portrait Orientation Lock” enabled on my phone. If I exit the app, when I return and first play a video, it shows the “rotation” animation as though it was switching to Landscape. But then it plays in Portrait.

please add me to the beta, I feel so left out

Can someone tell me what the point of all the testing is? This thread is over 2 years old and it’s been 1 1/2 years since the last update was released for tvOS. WTF are we doing here???

It only became minimally viable once very common codecs like EAC3 were finally patched to work around January. We are only ~4-5months past minimal viability. There still have been some up and down regressions even since then. Strategically July makes the most sense for them to be targeting.

This is the first time anyone has ever provided a high level delivery roadmap. Thank you. If they are able to deliver something by July that would be terrific.

Menel is just theorizing. I think the question for Plex devs is whether they are aiming to release the beta with feature parity to the currently release version, meaning it lacks Atmos, HDR10+, and probably true DV, or if they want to release it at near to full feature parity with the Roku app. If t…

I think they need to have a better understanding of what MVP (Minimum Viable Product) means. We don’t need all the bells and whistles in the initial release. I’d be happy if they just released a version that has smooth video playback that doesn’t stutter every few minutes. That has been an issue …

I’ve seen this same behavior in software development for 20 years. If there’s a workaround, the devs just don’t care. The workaround for AppleTV users all these years has been Infuse. Infuse did it right, and they did it right a long time ago. Plex should have just bought Infuse years ago and we…
