Some overall concerns expressed by the user community here and in other forums: New UI/UX buries user content behind more menu pages meaning it takes more clicks to access content that required less clicks in the current app. New Playback Interface feels very “Non-Apple” and moves away from the tv…

[image] Manujito: THE PLAYER IS ABYSMAL, and you’re going to kill your userbase with this Exactly. Well, the ATV userbase at least. But they have shown they don’t care about the ‘weird’ Apple way of doing things anyway. They clearly prefer the Roku vibe, and it sucks.

You have to pay for the ability to change seek times, what a joke

I tried using the new experience on Apple TV again this morning. I think I could get past/use to the new UI if the app actually worked. What I mean by work is “skip credits,” actually worked and didn’t double the length of the show and just jump around in the timeline. If live OTA tv didn’t need to …

Ive posted about this before but still isnt fixed for me. When playing SOME (not all) Dolby Vision files Plex falls back to HDR only and the HDR it does play is wildly blown out and eye glaringly white? Anyone else have this?

Sure, there was an update earlier today. Let me just copy/paste my own comment and make the appropriate changes: home page navigation seems a little faster (still nowhere near as fast as the current app) but mainly while moving horizontally in the same row. Switching “down” to another row present…

I HATE THIS PLAYER WITH THE PASSION OF A THOUSAND SUNS I keep trying to see any perceived improvement but it just feels… inferior in every way? The navigation changes I can just about live with but this player is… not good? we no longer have the movie/episode description, What are we even doi…
