So this is the reason why I still see Swiftfin 1.0.1 on tvOS? I really hoped when I saw the change log for Swiftfin 1.2 it would also be available on tvOS. |

Hi Team, for the past couple of months (not sure exactly) I have been unable to connect to my server through Swiftfin on tvOS. It comes up as a local server, but when I select it the Connect button flickers for a split second and goes back to Connect. This happens over and over. I've tried restarting the app, restarting the server, and re-installing the app. Any ideas? I was going to open an issue but I just had a feeling that it was worth asking first as it may be something I don't realise. |

Firstly, I just want to thank you for all the hard work here, I think we are alot of TVOS users that are quite existed about the prospect of this update. With that said, I really would plead for you to bump the prioritisation of "Reactive Home Screen". As my understanding is, the "Up next" bug is going to be As somebody that watches a lot of series, I'd go so far to say that not having to manually browse for the next episode of a TV series, every time I want to continue watching, represents the biggest quality of life improvement I can think of in the currently client (which otherwise works fairly well for me). |

I know I've been saying "I want to help out" and haven't pulled through, mostly because my 2018 MBP was crapping out and I was waiting for the M4 release. I have a new MBP now so I'd like to [finally] jump in! Since tvOS has been one of the biggest asks from the community I want to focus there, could I get a bit of an explanation (or be pointed to previous discussions) of what needs to be done for the items in the Not Started section? |

I don't want to "inject" too much noise here, so, sorry for "moaning" about this, but please don't forget about the letter picker, if one uses the current tvOS version and one has a lot of entries under movies, it is impossible to navigating quickly (yes I know about search, but thats not "navigating quickly") with the letter picker Thanks again to the devs for your work ! |

Many of the playback issues mentioned in the "Solve these issues" section were solved with the device profile builder refactor in #519. (And then IIRC the opus ones subsequently when you did the refactor of device profiles.) Which is to say that not all those open issues need work, but they haven't been closed because they still occur in the latest released build - which is outdated. |

Currently, Swiftfin for tvOS is not yet ready for TestFlight. Some delays are due to shared components between iOS/iPadOS and tvOS (such as the Video Player Manager), while others stem from challenges unique to tvOS. Developing for tvOS tends to introduce quirks that make progress slower, such as more limited support for SwiftUI on tvOS, cursor focus management, and a more complex process to test builds on real hardware than with iOS.
That said, we are actively working to get the next version of Swiftfin for tvOS ready for testing. Below is an outline of our progress, detailing both what has been achieved and what remains to be done.
