MrMC

In the latest build, I'm seeing a new Add-ons section which contains the new Plex add-on plus "get more". This confuses me slightly because I thought add-ons were not supported and also IF that policy has changed I'm sure you're not allowing people to get more. Am I wrong?

P.S. it still defaults to selecting Media Sources. I guess my comment a few days ago got lost.

Where is the adjust contrast setting? I cannot find this.

When playing a video swipe down for settings, go to video settings, then (if videotoolbox or ffmpeg is decoder) you'll have a brightness and contrast adjustment. If AVFoundation is decoder then you have no adjustment possible. That's OK because it's right on anyway.

Where have you been ? Python has returned, and to show case it we brought in Plex for Kodi. Over time, we will be adding some popular addons.

Our user policy has not changed, user installed addons are still not permitted. "get more" is a hold over, this is TestFlight after all.

darwin: force gles to RGBA8 on wide color devices
core: reword hdr detection and stop using magic numbers for color primaries, range, etc

No clue what any of that means, but I’ve updated and will test it out

Ok thanks, that explains why I could not see because I had VTB disabled.
Turns out it is HDR being enabled on AppleTV 4K is what seems to cause this washed-out dithered look. Disabling HDR makes playback using VTB looks better. However, AVF plays back fine and looks the same whether the AppleTV is set to HDR or SDR. I do notice that the MrMC menu looks a bit more dithered when I have HDR enabled on my AppleTV though.

Sounds like you don't have match content on. So you're playing SDR content on an HDR output. Using AVF is probably converting gamuts to suit your HDMI output. That's why it looks OK either way.

Wouldn't it be best to default tvOS to SDR but have match content on for dynamic range and frame rate? When HDR plays in MrMC, tvOS will switch output to HDR. Right?

I'm aware of python returning. Just seems weird that for years it's been repeated that there are no add-ons ever and now it's back. I think it could be a problem because you're using the same wording as in Kodi but it's not just like Kodi. "Add-ons" implies that the user can add something. Maybe a different word should be used for MrMC.

Was there a reason why the default selection was changed to Media Sources? Every time the app starts up, it's now the selected section. This only started in the last week or so.

It stated, and it still states that user installed addons are not allowed

We cannot allow those as it’s a violation of AppStore policies and can open us up for potential piracy issues... look at Kodi ...

Main reason for bringing python back is to get more skins in, the ones that rely on python to function... plex addon is just the added benefit
