Is the Plex Experience Preview Beta for ATV over?

Hey All,

Is the Beta on Apple TV over? I noticed that “The developer removed you from the test program” this morning.

No it is not

This also happened to me. I simply rejoined.

Huh. I can’t - Beta is full…

Maybe I was just lucky then.

Yep I’ve just found myself in the same situation.
“developer removed you” with no option to rejoin. Trying to access it with the invite says “TestFlight not available at the moment” or something like that.

No idea how to fix it, maybe it will happen automatically and it’s just a temporary issue with TestFlight in general.

Yeah I’ve been removed also :frowning:

I was removed as well…gotta wonder if this means Plex is planning for a general release?

i got removed and have been unable to rejoin as its full :frowning:

Well, TestFlight states “The developer removed the build you were testing. Turn on notifications and we’ll notify you when a new build is added.”

The link to TestFlight for the AppleTV app from the forums might lead to a different build though since following it leads me to a “β is full” warning instead of just showing me the β I’m enrolled in already…

I still have the builds from before on my AppleTV though, but I suspect it might be wiser to simply remove it.
It’s a bit sad. Despite it’s issues, it was still working better than the official build (which, for some reason, no longer properly lists casts for movies and series and no longer shows what other movies they’ve been in).

Yeah not really sure WTF is going on with Plex lately…and the fact there’s been zero response from Plex to this post makes a person wonder as well…

Had the same happen to me as well. :expressionless: Most likely because its tied to iOS beta and that program no longer exists since the app was released.

Happened to me too - and it says it’s full so I guess I can’t update anymore.

There’s been no response from any Plex reps about anything Experience related the last few weeks. Even the Roku threads which the beta only just started last month stopped getting responses after just a week or so.

Makes you think they’re just gonna roll it out like they did with mobile even with major bug reports still hanging loose and none of the “promise before release” updated admin support for it.

Maybe they’re all just on summer vacation. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve stopped AppleTV auto-updates because of this (having been caught out by the iOS update).

I really really wish they would have picked up the suggestion\request to make Experience a separate branch. I’d really have liked to have a “legacy” branch that they feature froze today and just resolve bugs or historical playback issues (like the AppleTV player HDR\Atmos hiccups) because Roku playback has been pretty solid (except for a small DTS-HD bug).

Experience on Roku via Preview channel isn’t really that bad as long as you don’t need Photos or Music; some weird choices but otherwise it actually runs a bit snappier. If it really doesn’t work out though I’ll probably just go to Emby since their v5 release is supposed to have closer feature parity with Plex (I really like my smart collections) - it’s nice to have choices!

Problem is I believe when you update TVos the apps will update also, I could be wrong

Nope it isn’t over. We are aware that the current testflight is full and discussion are underway on how we can open this up for more users. We did work on a cleanup recently as the iOS part this is closed and unfortunately that might have affected some people.

I was testing both iOS Experience Beta and tvOS Experience Beta, but have been removed from the tvOS Experience Beta now. Shame, as the changelogs for the latest build sound like it fixes many of the issues I’ve been having. Hope you can open it up to more users.

Is there any update on opening new spots for the tvOS testflight? I was one of the ones kicked out incorrectly and would love to get back in.
