Updated App Planned?

[Bash103 6]

Is there any updates planned for the AppleTV app? Seen several server updates but nothing in the app side.

Hi, yes a major update is nearly ready. Thanks.

Luke, is Apple allowing third party apps to leverage things like the enhanced dialog stuff in TVOS18?

Hi, we haven't yet looked at enhanced dialog, but I'm sure this will be accessible....when the native player is playing most likely.

What happened to my bug post? Was it removed?

Never mind. I see they were moved.

Thanks for the update. As a new Premiere user trying to switch from plex I'd like to comment this one regarding HDR playback:

1. If I switch from auto or mpv to native playback in Emby for Apple TV almost none of my 4k hdr 10 mkv test videos are working (no stream available).
2.  If I switch to auto or mpv all video content is way to bright
3. If I switch from auto or mpv to native playback and enable both content and bitrate settings (or just the content one) in TVOS setting I can play all of them but they are hardware transcoded and tone mapping (hubble) is used instead of HDR 10 AND audio is totally async (about half a second delay)
4. Doesn't matter if content and bitrate settings in TVOS are enabled or disabled, both plex and infuse are fully working (direct play with enabled and working HDR)

It looks like HDR content isn't working at my side. Tested via Apple TV 4k and a panasonic + samsung 4k TV. Is there anything I can enable or switch to get HDR content fully working on current Apple TV 4k with Emby client?
