Thank you, everyone, for the feedback so far!

I’m continuing to review feedback and will have more updates as I continue my testing this week. I’ll also invite more users to TestFlight, so if you have yet to receive an invite, look for it in the next day or two.

**One Big Update:**

After reviewing the feedback over the weekend, we realized we had made a mistake. We have a feature flag that enables the MoltenVK/Metal renderer, but that feature flag was disabled.

This means the previous testing was only for the MPV update and not the new renderer, which has had some improvements but not to the extent we want.

That said, we have enabled the new renderer. You can now test with the same build to see if there are stutters, thermal throttling, playback failures, etc.
