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…

Running smooth so far but wow does not having the subtitle search really suck lol Hopefully gets added in a new version. Was wondering does the appletv have enough processing power to run something like fast-whisper to do automatic live subtitling?

can’t start playback by just pressing play/pause button on the remote subtitles turn transparent when using a different style or different font than default in tvOS settings (see BUG: transparent subtitles )
