iOS and tvOS beta release with Plex pass

Server Version#: 1.15.1.707
Player Version#: 5.10
I’m a Plex Pass subscriber, my iOS enhanced video player does not update to the last version. I desperately want to try the new player with Live TV direct play. I’ve delete all my Plex apps and reinstall on all platforms, disconnect and reconnect account, toggle beta / public / beta download settings, my Apple TV is stuck to 1.38, does not update to 1.39 with Live TV direct play. :tired_face:

You have to sign up for the beta releases, see the Apple section of this post: Join App Betas: Android (mobile), Android TV, Apple TV, iOS

I know. That’s what I did but Buddybuild did not send me anything. I didn’t receive anything from them.

How long since you signed up?

10 days

I don’t think they are inviting anyone else or even bothering to reply to threads. Have a look at the similar one about tvOS beta where it appears people have been waiting since last year. They should just remove the link if they can’t be bothered to add more people

There hasn’t been a buddy build release in that time frame… (for iOS).

This one I can’t get

Right, at a guess your request wasn’t processed in time for that release and there hasn’t been another since.

I since been receiving iOS beta release, but no luck with tvOS. Never received anything from them or TestFlight :roll_eyes:

I’ve just received the testflight link but I’m not sure now whether the beta build for tvOS supports HDR, some forum posts indicated HDR was disabled, does anyone know whether or not HDR works on the beta build?

The enhanced player (which is available in both beta and regular releases) doesn’t support HDR and can be disabled in the app settings.

Further you can always try the TestFlight release and delete it and reinstall the regular release at anytime.

strange, I signed up like this yesterday and got a Testflight and a buddybuild email today to install the beta’s under tvOS and iOS :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I had to create a new AppleID with new email address

Looks and works great, thank you.

I signed up twice now for the beta and got the buddybuild email right away but have not yet gotten any testflight emails with the codes or anything. Kind of frustrating.

I signed up for the beta releases yesterday and received both invites in a matter of hours. I haven’t tried the IOS release yet; however I’m using the TVOS beta at the present.

I also have the problem that I signed up for tvOS and iOS releases and only got the iOS invitation but not the TestFlight invitation for tvOS, which is the version I care more about. What should I do to get the TestFlight invitation? Sign up a second time?

Same I also am waiting for TVOS and android emails to start testing.
