Does other people find the app on Apple TV buggy?

It’s also missing a ton of options compared to Android’s version.

Hi.  Can you please describe the issue  you are having?  What does "buggy" mean?

Thanks.

A program that contains many bugs, and/or bugs that seriously interfere with its functionality.

I agree that options are missing, but if you think you have found a bug, you should give more detailed information, so that the developers can fix it.

Just playback will take some time and when I backed out the app crashed with the sound of the playing video for several seconds.

That is the most I’ve seen from my little use. The main thing that stuck out was all the features missing.

I am trying to migrate all my users off of Plex. I hate the direction that company is going.

I get instant playback using MPV player? Do you have MPV player enabled? What kind of content are you trying to play?

Where do you enable the MPV player? 
 

As for content, I don’t remember. Never checked.

In App Settings - Playback - Enable MPV player. It should be enabled by default.

Sadly, you will find mpv works better for some content, and worse for other content as mpv option doesn't support frame rate matching for example. Someone that had been using the Plex client will likely think it's a lot worse.

It is buggy and things do not behave like in other apps (channel logo resizing in GUIDE or CHANNELS, sticky view for Music library, square artist pictures rather than round in the other apps, frame rate match on playback, de-interlacing of interlaced content, embededd basic subtitle support, and others).

Its a work in progress - shame its taken so long, as Emby on Apple TV really shows promise. Really hope they get there and not too much longer....

Immediate ones are:

  • channel logo resizing in GUIDE or CHANNELS. Pasted pic on another thread showing ridiculous sizes of some logos.
  • sticky view for Music library - doesn't honour sticky settings
  • square 'artist' pictures rather than round in the other apps
  • frame rate match on playback - no 23.976/24 in MPV
  • de-interlacing of interlaced content - MPV again can't deinterlace correctly, Native Player does progressive only.
  • embedded SUBRIP/SRT basic subtitle support (especially forced subtitles not working)
  • has issue playing some H264 MP4 with AAC in MPV which doesn't exist in Web App, LG App, Samsung App, ROKU app or Apple Native Player (have samples). Just black screen direct play.
  • Updates to the app often wipe out settings for server URL and login resulting in having to enter them again
  • Scrolling issues on large lists in Music/Music Videos/Movies/TV - when you scroll medium to fast it keeps resetting the list, highly annoying. Reported by quite a few before.

Sticky option - when you go back it remembers the view. Similar to the drop down menu you have under home page display options.

What sticky settings are not honored?

If I set 'Album Artists' under a music library using the Home page settings drop down menu as landing page for a music library (this is one anyway).

We'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.
