Apple TV app

[Greenmantle]

Previously I was running a Plasma with a basic media streamer connected to my NAS.

End of last year I bought an OLED and because I wanted to start using the 4K capability of the TV I also bought an Apple TV 4K.

Since I was new to the Apple TV device I initially went down the Plex route and soon realised that was really a non starter with the client & server processes setup (process running on NAS).

I switched to infuse (free addition) and have been happy with this but there are some mkv files that wont play unless you purchase the Pro edition. I think its because of licensed embedded audio.

Does anyone know of a suitable Apple TV Streaming App that gets round this issue?

Yes, I use VLC media player app on Apple TV for my MKV files. I haven't had seen any content restrictions so far ...

The Infuse pro edition is something like £8 a year.

I use it with Plex to play Atmos encodings that the Plex app can’t.

Not sure if Emby is available in the Apple app store. If so it's similar to Plex and has never given me any issues playing anything I throw at it.
