@ev77: Thanks.

Don’t worry too much about this though, I forgot about it all quickly when I focused on just actually watching the video instead of fiddling with the remote. I’m just happy to have an app that plays the hd videos and such.

Do you have a tip jar somewhere?

@ev77: No that made no difference. The video is still slightly shrunk and jitters into filling the screen and back again when showing the progress bar regardless of what the transform video setting is set to.

Wow thanks for this!

The official app not supporting HD and not sending metadata in the now playing notification on my phone was really getting annoying, this solves both of those.

One thing I immediately noticed now when watching GrubbSnax is that the video doesn’t quite fill the entire screen but will grow to do so for a second when you tap on the remote to show the progress bar.

Latest version of app and tvOS 14, running on a previous generation Apple TV 4K.

Just wanted to mention I also ran into playback trouble on the website by having cdn.cookielaw.org blocked in my pihole setup. I kinda liked blocking away the cookie warnings but I guess I'll live.

Also, video starts to stutter in the Apple TV Giant Bomb app if it is set to HD quality instead of just high quality. Audio keeps playing uninterrupted but every 30 seconds or so the video stops for a bit before skipping ahead and playing smoothly again. I've got the 4k model so I wouldn't think it's the bitrate being too high compared to what your files were back when the app was first published or anything, right? Infuse plays my blu-ray 4k hdr rips just fine.

Same for me with my Apple TV 4K. Video is really choppy when the quality is set to HD.

I’ll join the crowd and mention that the stream skips back a couple of seconds sometimes when watching on my Apple TV too.

This app is great. I like being able to preload videos before train journeys and such.

One thing regarding downloading videos though. It seems that if I put my iPad to sleep while downloading something it will stop and not resume. I’ve had to completely restart the download of the latest UPF a couple of times due to it being a large file and me doing something other than using the iPad for a bit after having started the download.

It just shows up as pending in the download manager and never resumes. I have to start the download over from the beginning again.

There is too much comments/page-footer stuck in the viewable area of the browser. Videos don't fill the window enough and I don't want to have to use the fill browser option in the video player.

youtube has the right amount of it when using theatre mode

I normally don't read the forums so I had no idea about this until today when I noticed the site suddenly used https.

Just wanted to say that's awesome!

I couldn't think of a song that perfectly captures my thoughts and mood for the end of the Mario Party Party series, so I came up with this.

This is amazing.
