Testing MrMC 3.7.0 - [Invites Closed]

[ersan191]

So I’ve been experimenting with just using stock MrMc (Test Flight version) to access my Plex server, instead of the Plex extension. Is it supposed to give me the option of choosing a version if I have more than one of a film?

I’ll use Avatar as an example. I have both a 1080p and a 4K HDR version and they are grouped (rather than split) on my Plex server. MrMc doesn’t prompt me to choose a version to play. Should it be?

I don't believe any Plex clients prompt either - I experimented a long time ago with having 1080p and 4K versions of the same movie and it would always play the 4K version despite the Plex website saying it should pick the "appropriate version".

It should ask, it did before .... will check

Is it possible to get the dedicated Plex menu item (linked to the Plex extension) back? This was in a previous testflight in opacity and was very useful.

What happened to the blurred background in the Plex for Kodi add-on on TvOS? Not sure if this is truly a testflight issue or not. The background is no longer blurred and instead shows very pixelated versions of your background images. If the backgrounds are mostly white the text becomes impossible to read. Looks terrible. I checked the non-testflight version of MrMC on my Shield, and the background is still blurred.

could you snap a screenshot of both , I see it blurred in a big blob here

Hi all. After the latest beta update, I started noticing lipsync issues. I have all match content set to on on apple tv 4K settings and I am using only avfoundation codec for all kind of files, from simple SD h264 files to 4K HDR Remux ones. The lipsync issue wasn't there before, it appeared after the update with all my settings untouched and is now corrected only if I set my receiver to 100ms delay. Am I missing something?

What is your current a/v offset in MrMC ?

It's highly recommended to stick with defaults for hw acceleration. h264/h265 -> vtb, h265/HDR -> afv. h264 media comes in such a crazy mix and vtb has better error handling for nutty encodes.

I tried vtb with all kind of files, SD to 4K HDR (just to check lipsync despite the awful picture quality) and it didn't have any lipsync issues whatsoever with my MrMC and AVR settings as I have them for a long time now. The problem is that now even with h265/HDR files where avf is the only way to go, I have this slight issue which didn't happen before, I don't know if any changes were made in the latest build that affected lipsync with avf. I would like to use the recommended settings but tbh, I prefer avf for every situation, it gives me perfect picture quality in any situation, at least for my preferences, without having to change picture settings in my TV according to the source material and which codec is being used (vtb is a lot more bright by default than avf for example and TV).

Is there any specific a/v setting I would like to inform you with that might cause that issue?

Speaking of AVF, are you guys working on making ambilight compatible with it?

Thank you
