Native or MPV

depends on what you are looking for. 

MPV plays most files at the cost of losing auto framerate switching, which means files that (for movies mostly) are 24p will play in the GUIs selected framerate, mostly 50 or 60 fps, which might lead to stuttering. You gain more emby related features in the GUI.

Native supports everything the ATV does from scratch, but (in the newer emby client versions) might result in black screen or media not playing at all. Only supports features that are ATV out-of-the-box. Best quality but might be a hazzle to use (also as embys developer prefer to use MPV, but that is a different story)

Auto in theory should automatically switch between the two above for best of both worlds but infact prefers MPV pretty much always over native. I personally NEVER had one single media file that was played with native player when selecting the auto function.

MPV does appear to support frame rate switching now, and should also already be sharing the same playback UI as the native player.

Based on my own testing, though it may be limited to the latest 1.7.1 beta.
