It has been working as expected for me the last 5 years. Movies show up within a few seconds.
Got a tip for us?

yeah, i just tried it again and it works great. i used to use it a couple years ago.
Are any of you using the rottentomatoes meta data? I can't get it to work.
I posted here but may be better to post in this thread.

Is there any way to simplify the plex interface on the ATV4? For example, if I want it to just show "recently added" movies when I start the app?
Unfortunately not, as far as i know. I would prefer a cleaner interface aswell.
When I finish an episode it doesn't go to the next one
It goes back to the same episode menu where you hit play

Be aware that Simple X did not cache the covers today. So it will load them everytime you are zapping through the app.
But there are some advantages too. The official Plex App uses the Apple native player, while Simple X uses the TVJS player. In my opinion the TVJS is more stable. No probs at all while playing with subs, choosing audio and subs while playing a movie with a swipe down and so on...
I bought SimpleX - I really like EVERYTHING about it except for the lack of cover caching, which you note here. It's really annoying that it take 10-30 secs on every screen of covers to see the images.
I definitely has the simpler navigation that I'm looking for.
I can pause a video with the play/pause button the Siri remote but to start the video I have to click the touchpad
The play button doesn't play the video using plex
Is this a bug or how is suppose to work

Did you ever apply a fix for Darkwake that you are aware of? This is what controls that behaviour.
Amen bro. That's how most of the forums go around here. Apple cannot seem to do anything right according to most on here. Yet they keep buying the products. Reading many of the topics and posts here depresses me. But I love the Apple ecosystem and learn from some of the topics posted.
Maybe I'm missing it, but is there anyway to snap back to root in the app? It's annoying to navigate back constantly clicking menu. Killing the app is the only way I've found.
Plex is pretty much useless for watching movies. Takes ages to start it and still starts buffering after 30 minutes or so. SimpleX is better at starting the movie, but still starts buffering after a while.

Not having any of these issues with Plex. What size are your files? I'm also streaming from a 5K IMac - streamed a 2.5GB movie this evening - not a single pause or stutter.
Does converting a file from mkv to m4v result in a loss in audio quality?
Would the resulting m4v file with AC3 audio have a loss in audio quality as compared to the original mkv with DTS?
I've been using iflicks and converting my files to iTunes compatible format. Does that result in quality loss?
No but whenever I select iTunes tab in iflicks and the video is mkv and 5.1 AAC or ac3 iflicks creates a second AAC 2.0 audio track for the video
I don't know if that's a setting you can turn off in iflicks
Which makes the file size a little bigger
