I've uploaded build 7 which is adding few things (fix for airplay audio delay and add an "About" menu which is including some license information regarding used block of open source software).
I have issues downloading it from test flight, but going back to build 6 didn't change anything, I guess it's an issue on Apple's side this time (maybe I'm the only one to have problems this time) ...
Build 7 should be final 1.2.1 version, it should be approved by the end of next week if everything goes well !
Changelog for 1.2.1 :

I am not able to update 7 either. Will try later.
Update: works now.
Also, finally test delete and works fine for me on SMB.

As expected it was a problem at Apple's side (even downloading some app from the appstore failed for me).
What's next (beside bug corrections) : Dolby Digital x.1 support and thumbnails instead of icons
Some other good things may come for v1.3

I have to add more to my delete files testing. Not sure what happened. It was able to delete some files and folders (would be nice to delete a folder and file at the same time if only 1 file in the folder but not a big deal). Anyway, last night I was able to delete some files which I posted above then later in the evening tried again and just after you press the DELETE Button it appears to delete but then the App Ends (crashes?) then I restart and the file is still there. Not sure if file is considered in use or something but no error message so I don't know. I will check more today.
If delete fails, it should show you an error message with some information about why it failed ... What you describe here is an application crash so there is something wrong in my code (it should not crash for sure ...). Is it happening on a given file every time, or after a certain number of delete ? Which protocol are you using (SMB ?), and which server ? If you find a way to crash the app every time, please share, it'll help me to solve the problem !
Same problem this morning. No Error Message. Just quits the App. Here are more details.

I can delete the old .log files above but not the file inside of the Arrow Folder (or any of my movie/tv video mpg files).
This is the file inside the Arrow Folder. It is about 7gb. ! hour Mpeg2 HD File.

Once I manually Deleted the Arrow Movie on my MAC I could Delete the Arrow Folder in NAStify.
I am connected via SMB (you said UPnP would not work) to a WD MyCloud NAS Server. The files are created with the HDHomeRun DVR Application running on the NAS Device. I did watch the Arrow Show last night along with a couple others. I normally use UPnP to play the Videos because it works better. Then I used SMB to try and delete them.
I've made a test with a 9GB file that I renamed "Arrow S04E09 20151209 [20151210-0400].mpg", I put it in a folder called "Arrow", I played it using UPnP, then I deleted it by connecting using SMB protocol and I had no crash
Maybe you can try to enable WebDAV, this protocol is well supported too and is supporting file delete

Well. Wish I could give you more information. Do you log any errors anywhere? If not, maybe some kind of trace option in the next beta. Not a huge priority for me at this time. I just wanted you to know.I've made a test with a 9GB file that I renamed "Arrow S04E09 20151209 [20151210-0400].mpg", I put it in a folder called "Arrow", I played it using UPnP, then I deleted it by connecting using SMB protocol and I had no crash
As for priorities, would love to have a splash screen with just Favorites/Bookmarks to the Folders I want to see. Right now on connection I see all of my possible connections (a lot of them), then I select either UPnP or SMB then navigate to the folder. Would be nice to save that location as a Favorite/Bookmark (or whatever). I would prefer the quicker access of course but my Wife would not even attempt to navigate this. Just some friendly feedback. Works well otherwise.
I've just included a crash analyzer in the app (I gave up previously as it was failing, I succeeded after 2 hours of tries, the issue was that the Cocoapod version of "Fabrics" is not tvOS compatible, I had to use the alternate install method ) , I'll upload a new test flight version so I can have hints of what's going on in your crash
Favorites feature is included in the "other good things for 1.3 version"

Cool. Will try it later tonight.I've just included a crash analyzer in the app (I gave up previously as it was failing, I succeeded after 2 hours of tries, the issue was that the Cocoapod version of "Fabrics" is not tvOS compatible, I had to use the alternate install method

I tried again with (8) - verified in the About. But it still crashes the same. I get no addition output.I've just included a crash analyzer in the app (I gave up previously as it was failing, I succeeded after 2 hours of tries, the issue was that the Cocoapod version of "Fabrics" is not tvOS compatible, I had to use the alternate install method

More information. Decided to COPY (with Mac Finder) the file to see if I can delete a copy. I get the following error message.
"The operation can't be completed because an item with the name "the name of file trying to copy in new folder" already exists. And the new file was created with the size of 5.59gb. The original size is 6.78gb. Also, same error if I use the DUPLICATE Option in Finder which changes the name of the file by adding " Copy" before the . of extension.
This is very strange. Like something is wrong with the file. And btw, I can delete the COPY.
Don't know but I just tried it with 1.2.1(7) and I get an error code even though the file permission is 666
I do not think it every worked with these files. I am pretty sure I got this error before. And I thought someone else reported it so not sure I did. Because I was also confused about it not working on UPnP. But, then I tried to just delete random file (not wanting to delete good video files) and that worked so I assumed that it was working. But then tried to delete video files after I watch them and it failed. I also think there could simply be a problem with these files since I can not copy them. See my prior post.
I just got NAStify Player on my Apple TV today in the hope of playing video files with subtitles (.srt) from my uPNP server. But I can't see any subtitles even though .srt files have exactly the same names with video files. I couldn't even find anything related to subtitles in settings menu.
I guess uPNP is not supported for external subtitles and we have to use an SMB streaming setup?

UPnP & external subtitles are not something that is working well in general as most UPnP servers are not offering access to subtitles files (unless you can configure on the server side which files are to be shown).It means that the use of one of the others protocols will be needed to access subtitles files.
Thanks for you message, I'll add a link to the "feature request" thread in the support forum ! It's listing what will come next
