For people having crash problems, what protocol/server are you using ?
If you want to play with git version, drop me an email, the VLCKit compilation is a bit tricky as it's in constant evolution in the branch compatible with the AppleTV

tgwaste,
You mentioned that one of the programs, I think this one, the edges was cut off. I told you to check the overscan and you didn't know where that was. You can find it under apple TV's settings, "Audio and Video," way down at the bottom "Calibrate," then "Zoom and Overscan." You should be able to fine-tune the Apple TV fitting. It's odd that it would not fit to start with unless you have a CRT TV or a foreign TV.

SMB - Version 4.0.9
That isn't actually a setting. It just brings up a reference box to adjust your TV settings to. The TV with the issue can not be adjusted so I guess I'm out of luck there unless you decide to move your lists a bit more towards the center.
You're right, thanks for correcting me. The only other thing I can think of is playing with the resolution settings. See if your TV is doing anything odd. I agree, the lists should probably be moved a bit more to the center as an option.

Ya, I don't think ill mess with it. Way to many hoops to jump through.
I'm playing around with the settings to see if I can prevent the crashing...I upped the cache and took QT off. Has anyone else had any luck yet?
I just installed your app and wanted to connect to my Synology NAS with my QuickConnect-ID, but that doesn't work. If I use the IP instead, everything is fine.
And I also have two wishes for coming versions of the app, first would be the already mentioned option to delete files directly from within the app, the second one would be to set a specific folder to start in, when a server is saved.

Certainly because you did enable SSL with a self signed certificate ! Unfortunately there is a bug in this case that I have to solve ...
Oh. That's right, I have SSL with a self signed certificate. Maybe time to get a proper certificate.
Wait, is the ATV4 capable of native (no transcoding) h.265/HEVC playback?
Is it software decoding or hardware decoding? (or a mix of the two)
Just 8bit (Main) or even 10bit (Main10)?
Just installed your app since Plex wasn't playing the videos on my Sinology NAS. Will try extended play later tonight. So far it starts the videos just fine. Good job. Few points of feedback based on what I've seen so far:
- Menu falls off the screen on the left side
- Scrolling during play doesn't really work (just + or - 1 min for each swipe)
- No resume play
- Audio playback issues (no sound) with at least one video
Thanks for your work and the free app!

is anyone else having problems when you forward or rewind. The video for me will freeze and won't play if you select the play/pause button. its an mkv file if that helps on a SMB share.
The decoding is done 100% software by the AppleTV using libVLC !
Regarding current SMB problems, I've solved some : Folders with large number of files were not correctly listed (limited to around 600 files) and video playback was not working on some servers (MacOS servers, AirPort Extreme,...).
Now I've to solve a bug causing the player to crash every 5 minutes (actually every time the SMB server is sending a keep alive which is to 5 minutes by default). When this last bug will be solved, I'll send an update to provide a version with good SMB support !

I have this problem all of the time with your app (also with Video Explorer, another app, so I wonder if there's a common SMB/Apple TV bug) when playing files from my Samba share (hosted by my Dlink DNS-323 NAS device). Would be happy to test a beta version if needed.
Video Explorer is using libdsm to handle SMB connections like I do in NAStify player ! Send me an email at codeisalie<>gmail.com if you want to be part of the beta testing group !
Maybe I'm wrong and he's using the <forbidden to use in iOS/tvOS due to GPLv3> samba library (and in this case he should at least release his app source code under GPLv3 license) or he's using a version of libdsm with some corrections and didn't share the corrections with the community! One thing is sure, he tried to use libdsm as he did open an issue on GitHub to report the issue causing some servers not to allow to play videos !Video Explorer doesn't stop playback and crash after 5 minutes though
Email sent.
Anyway I think that I know how to solve the crash issue, so I'll try to implement this later today !
One other solution on user's side is to set the SMB keep alive period to 0 (to disable it) on server's side !
