Over the last few releases, you probably noticed some small improvements in the enhanced video player:
- Improved subtitle support
- Now it plays transcoded and remuxed streams (that requires Plex Media Server 1.15.2), reducing the amount of scenarios where video needs to be transcoded. This is the first time the enhanced video player gives an alternative to TrueHD audio, by converting the audio stream to the lossless format FLAC.
- Many bugs fixed.
Today we released new betas for iOS v5.17 (17571) and tvOS v2.4 (12618) with the following changes in the enhanced video player:
- The video render method has changed to reduce stuttering and frames being dropped.
- (tvOS only) Initial support for HDR playback with the new enhanced video player.
- (tvOS only) The app now seeks correctly in response to Siri remote voice commands when using the enhanced video player.
