Apple once again have changed the movie artwork format in TV app and once again have not changed it on TVOS! So now I have portrait boxes with tiny landscape images and the hideous blur they add to fill the space on TV app. As all my content (1000s of items) is manually added I will once again have to manually update them however if I do that then the artwork on TVOS will have tiny portrait images inside the landscape boxes. So no matter what either the TV app looks horrendous or TVOS library looks horrendous.

I agree, it's a complete mess. However on balance I think I would rather put-up with the ugly look on my Mac and have my Apple TV displays looking okay. I don't download Betas and so this came as a complete shock to me yesterday when I installed Tahoe. Hopefully Apple will fix this in a future OS update.
 
To me, the worst is not having the movie or TV Show title anymore. I need to distinguish the movies by their cover. Is there any way to display the movie title in this view?
 
Pure idiocy. I can't believe the TVOS and MacOS teams didn't bother to find a solution to this mismatch. What was wrong with the landscape artwork?
