For anyone using Apple TV (I’m on an older 4 model not 4K) - does it work for you generally? I found a lot of titles just show black screen unless I enable force direct play.

They may be HEVC/265 encodes and I don’t think my system supports that fully. Not sure that’s the issue otherwise I wouldn’t expect them to direct play.

Anyway, I’ll continue to experiment, but in the meantime thought I’d ask.

    Whether it’s jellyfin Plex, or emby I recommend getting infuse. It has direct played everything I’ve thrown at it.

      I should have bought it when the lifetime was like $40. I used to use it. Had some difficulties with the UI so moved on. Was hoping it would go away instead of being the best choice at 3 times the price. 😖

        Yeah that’s actually when I snagged it. I’ve been really lucky with “lifetime” licenses. I’ve only bought infuse and Plex and both have paid for themselves 4-5 times over.

        Don’t be sad. With 10$/€ every year you support sustainable development of a really good software. There are worse things :).
