I am accepting few invite only signup for app testing (Limited to 100): you can sign up here: https://forms.gle/aHrSa9Kg54JvTYKB7

Keep an eye on the testflight when apple completes it review it will get active

This first ALPHA release of TvOS you will see many UI and Performance bugs. Not all features from Mobile and MacOS are there in this TvOS release.

Please test everything, and report issue you are seeing in detail with screenshots preferably on Github issues

Mobile and MacOS now has Stremio Addon support, you primary login of Plex is still required. The support is experimental please post and share how things are working on your end for this feature.

tvOS Alpha

• The Apple TV app now has a real usable foundation with Home, Shows, Movies, My List, Search, New & Popular, and Settings.
• The details experience got a major parity pass with richer layouts, collapsible headers, logo art, better metadata grids, technical badges, and trailer support.
• Playback is now wired up with MPV support and in-player controls for quality, audio, and subtitles.
• We also spent a lot of time on the stuff that matters on tvOS: smoother focus behavior, better scrolling performance, GPU/rendering cleanup, cache crash fixes, and better image handling.
• Settings and service integrations are now connected for Plex, TMDB, MDBList, Overseerr, and Trakt sync/scrobbling.

It’s still alpha, but it’s finally at the point where real Apple TV testing makes sense instead of it feeling like a prototype.

Other work that landed in the same stretch

• Stremio support is now in mobile and macOS, including addon management, source selection, resume handling, and subtitle provider support.
• Mobile now has Trakt-based Continue Watching, library-based Recently Added, downloads flow fixes with better progress feedback, pinch-to-cycle aspect ratio, and better playback reliability.
• Mobile customization also improved: you can hide the My List tab, toggle Plex genre rows, and the default details layout is more consistent.
• We fixed a bunch of mobile rough edges too, especially around non-English titles/backdrops, Trakt episode navigation, scrobbling, and Android performance.
• macOS picked up Stremio support, a Recently Added row, fresher Continue Watching updates, subtitle settings, HDR color improvements, and general UI/navigation cleanup.

For next three months no new features will be added. Work and updates will focus primarily on TvOS feature parity, fixing bugs and improving performance on all platforms.
