Spotlight on Apple TV cuts too much


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello, I like the spotlight feature, but the one in Apple is not really ideal.

As a comparison I have the Apple TV, Android TV app and the Windows app.

Apple TV:

Windows App with Sidebar:

Windows app without Sidebar:

Android TV (Fire TV):

When comparing them the Apple TV cuts just way too much from the picture. The Windows App with the Sidebar does it much better. Though it's worse when the Sidebar is closed.

The best approach in my opinion is the Android TV app.

Could we get the Android TV version too?

Also the Spotlight on the Apple TV seems to be endless, while the other 2 are limited to 12 items.

Yes I find the cutting an issue also.

Yeah, the crop would be better if it would crop starting below the top 10% of the image instead of just from the middle of the image.

That one will not work with my Library. It can't display .ass subtitles.

The changelog for 4.10.1.0 mentions improvements for the spotlight, but i don't see any difference.

Does the app need to be updated for it to take effect? I'm on 2.0.9 (1)

HI, the improvements are for the web app. Stay tuned for improvements in other apps.
