Prepare for a mega response post. If you’ve asked a question I haven’t got to yet then your answer should be in here, if it’s not - ask again.

This doesn’t apply to video files with muxed soft subtitles, I hope.
I can’t promise this right now, as I haven’t tested. Really sorry about that, I’ll look into this as soon as I can. Looking into better subtitle support is top of my list.

Right. I expected a transcode for the audio, just that I guess I expected it to transcode to DD. I also didn’t realise I needed to manually enable DD in both the device and in the plex server.
Interestingly after I did that, and played the same videos I get surround sound and video is no longer being transcoded.
Hmm, that’s weird. Oh well, the Media Server moves in mysterious ways!

Anyway I’m pretty happy with your app and look forward to see how it develops. Hopefully apple opens the search api soon.
Hopefully, but I’m not optimistic on that; I reckon it might not be till next Summer.

This looks fantastic! Looking forward to giving it a go.
If you don’t mind me asking, are you using TVML/TVJS or UIKit for this?
No problem, the UI is almost all TVML, but there’s a decent chunk of UIKit on the backend facilitating communication with the Plex server. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

Can we delete media from this app if allowed on the server side?
Not yet, I’ll note this down for future.

To be fair, I reached out a while ago and suggested that a line be dropped with a resume 
Yep, it’s true - I will be doing this, but I don’t currently have an up-to-date resume and as you can see I’ve been quite busy!

Ok, it must be that I’m late and tired. I bought the app (so excited!) and it sees my local server no problem. I select my TV Show section. I select all TV Shows. And nothing happens. I’m just sitting at the interface where you choose what you want to see from TV Shows. Swiping left and right, no effect. Clicking play, no effect. WHAT do I have to do to actually access them?? 
Yep, its probably so obvious I’m missing it, but all I get is the slow scrolling posters and no way to actually get to them. If I go to the main page and scroll through “on deck” I can get to a show, but clicking to select doesn’t do anything either. I’m so close and yet so far, please help!!!
EDIT - I CAN play a movie from on deck or recently added, but TV Shows are a no go from there and everything is a no-go from within its sections.
@fredaroony said:
Same issue here, can play from deck but cannot go into the sections
Hmm OK, I’m guessing there are some weird characters or something preventing access. This should hopefully be something I can fix remotely without having to send an update to Apple, once I figure out what the problem is - I’m gonna PM you both and see if we can sort this out ASAP.

I run a VPN client on my Plex server because of other tasks it does. Simplex REALLY doesn’t seem to like this. If I turn it on at all, Simplex doesn’t seem to want to talk to the Plex server until I’ve turned it off and rebooted the ATV4.
I know the VPN server messes badly with the Plex’s GDM autodetect, so I’m guessing that’s the real problem. I’ve told Plex the servers to pass out are the local LAN addresses, and PlexConnect worked when manually putting in the LAN addresses, so I’m guessing once the Simplex update that fixes manual server entry gets approved that’ll fix all my problems.
Until then I’ll just toggle the VPN and the apps that need it as required.
Yeah, you’ve hit your issue exactly, couldn’t have asked for a more accurate description of the problem! I need better fallback for getting local LAN addresses from Plex when GDM fails. I’m working on this, and the update that fixes manual address entry has gone into review with Apple already so I’m hoping that will be released in the next 24 hours but we shall see. Really sorry about this, just a network setup I hadn’t tested for.

Does the new Apple TV support 24p output?
Not that I’m aware of, but I honestly don’t know.
Nice clean interface and I love the option to sort by release date - something programs I’ve used in the past haven’t had. Came in handy tonight.
