The formats you have thrown at it include some or all of the ones I mentioned?
No app store app will support DVD decoding as it would not make it passed Apple's QC procedures.

That may be true, but it would be fantastic if it could play unencrypted DVD and Blu-ray rips (ISO or TS folder format). Many people rip their movies and store them on a server for easy access.No app store app will support DVD decoding as it would not make it passed Apple's QC procedures.
It doesn't support ISO and it sounds like the dev does not intend to add support for it.I think Kodi plays ISO. MrMC should play most everything Kodi does but may run into problems with navigation of DVD menus due to lack of buttons on remote. I remember having this problem years ago with XBMC and a remote with lots of mapped buttons - was confusing navigating.
I don't know if I have a DVD ISO anymore to test (haven't used a physical disk in years) but I think I did rip some exercise videos for my wife years ago which may still be on NAS. I'll check later and report back.
MrMC forums...Just bought this app.
Please, can someone explain how to add video files stored on my Time Capsule?
(I am a complete noob with this.)
Thanks!
Should I assume that everything Kodi plays on the Mac MrMC will play on the aTV?
Pretty disappointing that there is not much hype for MrMC as compared to other similar apps - hopefully some major sites cover its release soon as it is pretty significant
I don't have a big problem with the UI itself (perhaps because I'm used to XBMC/Kodi), but I fully agree regarding the touch remote. It's behaves unresponsive and clumsy, and it's basically impossible to fast forward/rewind with it at the moment.the UI and controls feel like from the 90's. OSD during playback cover bottom of the movie with bunch of useless icons (play, pause, stop, context, etc). this UI design was meant for PC with mouse. MrMc UI stuck with 90's in tvOS platform. it is like the difference between apple Map and car built-in map.
touch remote barely works. the developer Davilla prefer the old apple remote and it shows. old remote works great but touch remote is useless. it is jumpy and frustrated to rev/ff where you want it.
Yes, I was surprised. It had no trouble playing some of my losslessly ripped Blu-ray/HD-DVD MKV files, even ones that use the VC-1 codec. Infuse has trouble playing these.one thing positive is that playback is solid and fast.
I bought it when it was just released. I was so excited until I played around with it.

after checking out Infuse, I submitted a refund request for MrMc. until MrMc redesign its UI from scratch, it won't be popular with casual users in apple ecosystem.
I answered my own question. If you navigate to the item and then hold down the select button you get a menu to remove it.I already said I do not like the UI for MrMc but it does work just ok. I created a server connection by mistake. It said create anyway? I mistakenly said Yes. But I can find no way to delete it. It just says path not found. Any ideas on how to delete it?
Not quite the 90s. Xbmc was first released in 2002.
I bought infuse years ago on IOS so I got free ATV version. Not impressed with it much considering all the hype. Maybe I'm old school!
Anyways I am thinking now that there is a reason for not having big fanfare release. People who know what it is will appreciate it and use it. Users who require a simpler interface and far less tweaking options will probably prefer infuse.
I hope they will never redesign UI from scratch - there are skins in Kodi which some may be supported (that dont rely on Python) in future MrMC. This app has potential to get a lot better.
I find navigating using old remote better than infuse is with ATV touch remote. Also infuse doesn't work very good with older remotes. I actually hate the new touch remote and use my harmony. I guess my needs are exact opposite of yours so it's good that we have options.
Just brought MrMC as infuse stutters with all my media however with this player they are all silky smooth.
I'm used to the layout as I've been using kodi on the pc for some time now.
The only film I tested that it struggled with was Prometheus in the dream part at the beginning as its high video bandwidth. Not sure if this is the player or the limitations of the Apple TV 4 though.
Also noticed while not playing any media and checking in system info the cpu usage was quite high at around 70%
Not sure if this is normal or not as on the pc its around 2%.
Otherwise good so far, looking forward to some newer builds to play with.
Infuse streams all of my movies from my NAS (Synology and Qnap) using SMB smoothly. your issue might be specific to your network setup.
