Heavy performance issue playing 4K HDR remuxes with release 8.12

Version 8.15 dropped today: Plex for Apple TV - #140 by steve_barnegren

  • Fix stuttering playback that could occur with certain files.
  • In some cases Direct Stream DoVi playbacks wouldn’t display correctly.

From what I could verify for a few minutes, it appears to fix remaining issues for me (ATV 4K 1st gen 2017), at least for my previous sample and few other files I had kept aside in the last couple weeks.

I might be wrong (and my apologies if I am) but wording seems to indicate some kind of per-file fixes over time and doesn’t provide good confidence about the root cause of the issue being fixed (issues apparently introduced in version 8.12) or at least to avoid such regression in future releases.

Still, I am happy to enjoy watching high-quality content once again !

EDIT 26th Feb 23:
lies, deception … issue not fixed on other media files … :rage:
