I'm still having problems with the app crashing. It started whenever I would pause the SpyPartyParty video.
Now if I scroll down more than few rows in the latest section it crashes. I was able to get into the Million Dollar Abby section 1 time, but then when I paused while watching the video it crashed. Now as soon as I click the Million Dollar Abby section it crashes right away.
I'll chime in with a verification I'm also still having crashing on my AppleTV. I tried loading into the Million Dollar Abby section as well, and it instantly crashes the app. Every time.
Additionally, I tried launching a different video from a different section, and the buffering issue is still around (if not even worse). At this point, I've ceased trying to use the Apple TV for GB content, which is a shame.
@rorie: All from the same network, the site player from my iPad played the videos fine. Also, if I played them on my PC via the site player, they were also fine. The issue was limited to the AppleTV app, which ran perfectly for a long time, then started buffering on all videos earlier this year.
@roars5000: I was also having this issue last month with the AppleTV app. It was so frequent that I ceased using it and would use the YouTube app for non-premium videos, and AirPlay from my iPad to the TV for premium vids. Both of those paths worked flawlessly, but it is frustrating for such a great app to essentially become unusable.
I’m out of the country for a bit, so can’t provide current updates, but it sounds like the problem isn’t limited to just me.
Searched and located via the Overcast iOS application. Episode 01 showed up without issue automatically, so I assume it's working properly. I'm a premium subscriber, but chose to get the free feed as I do with the normal Bombcast since hearing the ads can be entertaining!
@mrpibb: Thanks for the update ... I jumped in here to relay a similar issue as reported above, but knowing it will be worked on fairly soon was great to hear. Understand you all have tons on your plates, so no worries. Nice to know it will be fixed sometime though :)
I've been having issues over the past week or so. When I select any video, instead of immediately playing as it usually does, it pops up an intermediate screen that asks what resolution I want to play. I select one and it plays as usual. Not too big a deal, but if I select a premium stream, the same menu pops up, then throws up an error message and refuses to play.
The resolution menu is the same option that pops up elsewhere in Plex when I play something from youtube, so my guess is that it's not recognizing premium status, hence trying to play the videos from youtube instead of GB's player as well as not allowing premium streams.
I tried re-linking my account to no avail, and tried the full uninstall and reinstall of the channel, but still no luck.
To throw in an additional data point, I'm having exactly the same issue. It started recently, within the past few months, but I can't be exactly sure when. I'm getting the resolution popup dialog as well, and no matter which I chose for subscriber videos, the result is the "error opening file" menu and no access to the videos. Other videos are playing fine, just all subscriber videos are unplayable.
I'll be the second to report the fixed Plex behavior that MrHeist mentioned above. I viewed a video today when I went home for lunch and I get HD automatically again. I didn't have to even update the app, it just worked flawlessly. No muss, no fuss. thanks TOP MEN! *tips hat*
@sdornan: Thanks a million! I'll keep my eye out and update as soon as I see it show up. I appreciate your investigation into this issue since I know we Plex users are a very small minority.
