tvOS 26 Beta

Plex Experience Preview
1

Testing out tvOS 26 Beta. When do you think that the Plex Preview iOS will get the option to use the overlay [Liquid Glass]  released with this build?

Model A2843
tvOS 26

I can confirm that both version 8.45 [public release] & build 2025.18.0 [preview build] are functional. I haven’t run into any issues at the moment.

It’s not even close to being functional and the rate of improvement implies it’s months away.

Pretty sure the OP just meant that the application runs at least…

OP wrote they hadn’t run into issues (and there are many).

What are the issues you’re seeing?

For me, Live TV doesn’t work and everything transcodes all the time (the current app never has to transcode).

But a quick Look through the Plex Experience Preview category will show all the issues people are having.

Edit: Apologies - I just double-checked and Live TV is now working (but still not on iOS). Also seeking is extremely clunky (but I guess it is functional).

I don’t believe any of those issues are being caused by tvOS 26 Beta though - that’s what OP means about the app not having issues with the tvOS beta.

Yes, fair comment - For a long time, TVOS had more issues than iOS to the point that it would regularly crash/freeze so I stopped checking TVOS a couple of weeks ago (I assumed that whatever was wrong in iOS was equally wrong on TVOS (function wise).

The constant transcoding is driving me nuts though.

For clarification Apple released tvOS 26 beta, not related to the Plex preview. Apple TV brings a beautiful redesign and enhanced home entertainment experience - Apple
