Hi Mikkel,
Out of interest do you know what specific TVOS version you are on?
Hi Mikkel,
Out of interest do you know what specific TVOS version you are on?
I am running tvOS 15.0 on a Apple TV 4K.
tvOS 15 is beta
As for bugs higher in priority than this one, there is a known workaround (use the old player)
Hi Dave, I think the noise is because thatās actually not the case. Some files that played previously just donāt anymore, even in the old player.
Iāve switched to Infuse for a trial because itās not throwing any compatibility issues on the tvOS 15 beta. Basically hoping this doesnāt last longer than the trial period.
I think some of the noise is from people who have prematurely installed the tvOS 15 beta on their primary systems, ignoring all of the warnings not to do so, and theyāre getting flak from their spouses/partners.
Can you give a sample, or share the media info, where Allow Direct Play
= Off and Use Old Video Player
= On doesnāt work at all?
Nope the noise is when processes just donāt seem to be efficient. When competitors are able to resolve pretty serious bugs in under a week but for others it just seems like to much of a mission for no real reason which makes no real sense. Itās about the perception that is created when your team doesnāt seem capable.
I mean there my be one hell of a new exciting feature coming to Plex on TVOS that has warranted this delay. Or one massive bug on TVOS 14 thatās causing this delay. Yet for someone who uses Plex daily I canāt think of a single one.
Well they did fix the username size recently, and improve search functionality - some critical improvements there.
Genuinely curious how many things unintentionally break when Plex decide to fix this bug when we hit iOS 15 GMā¦
Font size issues and critical in the same sentence.
Unfortunately there is always risk of something unintentionally breaking as a result of something else being fixed if test coverage isnāt extensive enough. The hope is that IF it happens it isnāt a blocker.
Beta is beta and YMMV but it speaks volumes that Infuse fixed things almost immediately and Plex has itās own ⦠strategy.
Enthusiasts that try prerelease versions of their software and other things have long stopped being their target audience. Itās easier to wait and see if Apple will fix their end and then do minimal amount of work.
Fine!
I had a Nvidia Shield TV, barely no issues.
I switched to Apple TV 4k 2021 and now I live in hellā¦
Nearly 3/4 of my libraries simply doesnāt work anymore, itās stuck with a black screen with the circle thing in the middle that turns and turns and⦠nothing (the down arrow menu works well, but is useless here).
tvOS 14.7 release branch
Plex Player release branch up to date
Plex server on a windows vm, up to date (and fully working for more than a year with the Shield).
Tried Old player, tried to remove direct play, tried the auto-convert function, tried to reinstall plex player. Nothing work. My lifetime PlexPass is itching my ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā¦
Could you, please, work on your app, or if you canāt handle this, give this to real dev?
I donāt even know why ppl with an Apple TV buy a Plex Pass, or even stay on Plex, I had to install VLC to watch my moviesā¦
EDIT: and yes, for the movies that plays, they plays with the sound issue, great!
But on the flip side (and putting aside the issue that this topic actually pertains toā¦)
I have a Shield 2019 and an ATV 4K 2021.
Everything plays absolutely fine on the Apple device. Be it a 4K 70 GB HDR remux or a 700Mb avi file. To the extent that I now use Plex far more than Infuse.
If it didnāt work and was causing such an issue I would provide logs. Radical I know.
Plus if you are gonna single out Plex Employees to aim your nonsense at then perhaps do your research who the devs are for the app.
You had an epic fail in that regard.
That is unrelated to this thread, which is about issues having arisen in the iOS/tvOS 15 beta. Can you please make a new thread for your issue, please.
v7.22 (847) just dropped for iOS and tvOS in TestFlight. Iām particularly interested in these two fixes, among the rest. Will report back in a bitā¦
- Fixed issue with AC3 / EAC3 audio when playing videos on future iOS versions.
- The app could freeze on startup on future iOS versions for users with a lot of servers.
EDIT: Cheehoo we in business now! Audio works with new player; media starts right up, no freezing. Mahalo to all involved!
Audio is working in modern player with latest TF build.
Hey Dave,
Any chance you guys could open up some more TestFlight slots?
Thanks
Weāre at capacity at present, I believe.
Yeah thatās what it tells me. Apparently if there are any accounts that arenāt very active they get removed⦠any of those?
Please pass on to the devs our thanks for the audio fix.
7.2.2 has fixed new player audio for both iOS and TVOS 15 for me. Thanks!
I can confirm Plex app 7.22 on Testflight fixes the issue. Tested Direct Play on EAC3/AC3 audio.
