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…

You can’t tap while on the scrobbler bar to show what time your playback session will end.

Choppy framerate when direct playing a MKV H.264 1080p file with a 14mbps bitrate. Will further test different formats and bitrates when able. Playback of the same file using Infuse does not have any framerate issues.

I’m not able to replicate this. TrueHD audio does transcode to Opus, but video is direct streaming for me. Is your content mkv or mp4? [Screenshot 2025-01-22 at 7.56.29 PM]

Same here. I don’t have the Live TV tab at the top at all.

Out of curiosity, do you have any tabs at the top? ie Home, Libraries, On Demand, Discover? Or are none of the tabs visible? [tvOS-Search-scaled]

Thanks, I’ll add a Missing Tabs note for some users to the tracker.

For TV Shows, the episode details page (the one that opens up if I select a show from the „Continue Watching“ list) is missing the list/row of (thumbnails of) episodes of that season. I like having this in the old app, since I like to know where in the season I am/how many episodes are left. I know …

MKVs here. Only difference I can see here is that you are not defaulting to using subtitles, apparently, and potentially apple tv gen? Edit: As a sanity check I tried the same files in the old app and there the playback starts fine, transcoding to flac as expected. Navigating is a chore, especiall…

Okay i did some testing last night and this is what i see If you can fully do direct play - no transcoding at all and add a srt or pgs subtitle - everything works If you add any sub at all and its transcoding audio (truehd to opus) it forces video transcode to burn the subs - for some reason

I have only Home, Libraries, and Discover Tabs in the Preview App. In the Experimental Player TestFlight, I have LiveTV and DVR available.
