As for clients: Plex's clients are slick. Jellyfin's aren't, but the third party options are okay.
I'm using an #AppleTV and iPad. #Swiftfin is very much a work in progress for both. It doesn't support Music Video libraries yet, so I didn't stick with it for long.
I switched to Infuse, which is good. I wish it disclosed whether the server's transcoding or if media's playing direct, but I believe the devs who say it's probably always playing direct. It seems to do a better job of that than Plex did on my old Apple TV HD, but bear in mind: I chose codecs specifically for Apple platforms – YMMV. [3/]
Just watched the season finale of The New Look on Apple TV+
My review? Very good. 9/10.
Will cater to fans of modern fashion design as it covers Christian Dior + Coco Chanel, but also anyone that has an interest in World War II history and stories of Nazi occupation.
Have you ever found a piece of media that you thought to yourself, "Yes, this thing was very specifically designed with me, personally, in mind when it was created."
That's how I felt watching this video of aespa from the new Fraggle Rock show where they are covering a song from the original series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPnjKZFgeiE
To my #appletv bubble: What is the best open source solution to play my own videos from network storage on my Apple TV? I used to use Plex, but that started to suck and isn’t really open. Now I am using VLC, but it is buggy. Doesn’t work well with HomePods in a home theater setup. So basically I need an AppleTV app that lets me play from an SMB share and supports HomePods.
I wouldn't call it fun for anyone at the time, but seeing a scene and learning it was a disaster of a shoot entirely bailed out by #VFX and I had no idea is always an amazing thing.
Watching #Monarch again after seeing a talk on it, I appreciate it even more.
10 lat temu to było łatwo. Był sobie telewizor #Samsung i wystarczyło podłączyć do niego pendrive i można było oglądać co się chciało w najpopularniejszych formatach.
Teraz podłącza się do nowoczesnego telewizora tej samej marki i nie działa. Nie ma żadnego komunikatu, nic. W innym telewizorze jakieś no-name’owej chińskiej marki z #AndroidTV nie ma najmniejszego problemu z odtwarzaniem z tego samego pendrive’a.
@szkodnix ale to nawet nie chodzi o format pliku. Telewizor w ogóle nie wykrywa urządzenia. Może format plików? Ale to zwykły FAT32. Bez sensu.
Co nie zmienia faktu, że #VLC jest najlepszy, mam go nawet na #AppleTV
TV+ down for anyone else? I’m getting “there’s a problem loading this content” on my TV, and the TV app on macOS just bounces back to the menu if I try to play any TV+ content. Library content plays fine and the System Status page (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) says everything’s fine (because of course it does). Restarted devices. #appleTVplus#appleTV#tvOS
The cool thing about #Netflix and #AppleTV+ releasing copies of each other's series is that when one makes a #scifi series, we also get a second sci-fi series 🤩. Bonus points when one chooses to use their "filmed in the EU" quota for it. It's a win-in :) 🍿
Error message on Apple TV connected to a Samsung TV: “Disney+ has detected an HDCP issue that is preventing your content from playing. To resolve the issue, please try a different HDMI cable and/or bypass your stereo equipment by connecting the device directly to your TV.” Fix: With TV on, hold down the power button on the Samsung remote until you see it go off and then see the Samsung logo - kind of like a hard reboot. Fixed for me every time. #AppleTV#Samsung#HDMI#HDCP
