The new AppleTV app/skin just released is horrible. This has got to be a joke. ---

So, I guess I’m looking for a new client now. … and I 'suppose some time after I do that, then the need to keep my backend on plex will slowly melt away too. Never thought a “lifetime” would be up so soon. ---

Don’t understand. Works pretty good for me. Reset Cache Settings/Advanced/ Reset cache and power cycle all devices and it should be a lot better ---

Not a Plex Employee. Just a highly recognized user who often offers officially recognized helpful advice. Taking and trying that advice is free. ---

I hope it’s not a joke. I ABSOLUTELY love it. And for the first time in almost 2 years I can play high bitrate remuxes without stutter! ---

Do you get buffering pauses? Those are a brand new “feature” of the updated app. I get it on local network streams as light as 3mbps. ---

I have 8 ATVs. 7 of which are hardwired 1GbE ethernet and 1 wireless on a 5ghz 40mhz SSID. No buffering issues at all. Last night the family had 4 of them going at once. The previous issue I had was the micro stuttering but I have never had local playing buffer issues. ---

No, that isn’t the issue. It’s just the general poor look and design of the new UI. ---

No. Playback is the same as the previous version. ---

High bitrate video (eg. ~ 100mbps) played fine on previous version. I hear a rumour that HLG formatted HDR (which would always play ultra stuttery on the previous ATV clients) is now fixed. ---

Hundreds of posts both here and on reddit including the admittance of the developers begs to differ with you. Also the new UI is great.
