I was really interested to see v2.17 of the Apple TV Plex app today for the following reason:
NEW:
The Enhanced Video Player is now available to all users and enabled by default. It can be disabled at any time from the app Advanced Settings.
After updating to 2.17, I tried a video with EVP enabled, and unfortunately ran into the same buffering issue. Changing the setting is a little different now in the Apple TV app. Now that option is listed in the Advanced section as “Use Old Video Player”. Because I still have the buffering issue, I have to leave that setting as On.
Now not only is EVP enabled by default, it’s now an option for Plex users, whether you have Plex Pass or not. It makes me wonder if more people are going to run into this buffering issue now.
