Cast/Chapters Overlay Bug in Apple TV App

[SultanOfTux 3]

Hi everyone,

I've found a weird bug in the latest Emby Apple TV app (Version 2.0.2, Server 4.1.4.1.90, Apple TV 4K latest Gen). During movie playback (swipe/touch for overlay), Cast and Chapters sections are swapped or empty – only affects movies, series work perfectly:

• Movie with Cast but no Chapters: Cast section completely empty.

• Movie with both: Chapters section empty, Cast incorrectly shows chapter markers/titles instead of actors.

Server metadata is correct (NFO/scan OK). Anyone else seeing this or have ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Can you please confirm two things for me from your screenshots

• Is this playback of Movies in a Playqueue?
• Do you have Cinema Intros or pre-roll trailers enabled?

Thanks

Hi,

The movies are not directly part of a play queue; they are just normal individual movies.

Yes, I have an audio codec–based intro. I turned off Cinema Intros for testing, and then the chapters and cast were actually displayed correctly again. So it only happens when I enable the Cinema Intros.

Thanks, I can see where the problem is.  That helps to confirm that I've found the same problem that you're seeing.

This should be fixed in the next release.

Thank you so much!
