Updated media detail screen in 2.17 is great - a few suggestions

[guygamer]

The new 2.17 Apple TV beta adds a new media detail screen and I think this looks great. So much more useful. Well done on putting this together. I just had a few suggestions or comments:

1. On 4K video it just states UHD:4K - a badge denoting HDR would be so useful.
2. Similarly a movie with Atmos audio simply shows as TrueHD. If there was a way to badge these as Almost, DTS-X etc.
3. On the media info screen for TV shows it would be useful to have either a badge (preferably logo) for the network and for movies the same for the studio. I think it would be useful and enrich the experience as there’s plenty of screen real estate left to play with. This is capable of being pulled from the tvdb or themoviedb api unless I’m mistaken.
4. In the seasons view of an in progress tv season I don’t find the slim gold bar at the bottom a useful indicator for what has been fully watched. Perhaps a more prominent / obvious icon like a tick could be used to show this.

Other than those few niggles so far this looks great and was a pleasant surprise. Big step for. Thanks for the good work on that. Hope some of the points I mentioned may be considered or incorporated.

I agree, I love how it looks BUT:

1. You can no longer see episode names for all episodes in a season, you can only see the name of the currently focused episode. This is terrible user experience as you basically can only find an episode by its thumbnail. Very VERY annoying. In some cases unusable. Did I mention how VERY ANNOYING this is??

2. You no longer see the season artwork of the season you are currently in. Not a biggy but a bit of a shame.

3. Pressing menu (back) within the season screen no longer takes you back to the show screen (i.e. now the ‘Overview’ screen) but the screen you were in before that. Again not a huge problem, it will just take a little retraining to get used to it.
