I wish Apple had forced all streaming apps on Apple TV to use the system-provided video player. Now they all have custom implementations, and they all work slightly differently, and none of them are anywhere as good as the system one.
“I wish Apple forced all streaming apps… to use the system-provided video player” — YES!
“… none of them are … as good as the system one” — TRUE!
BUT… even in the current reinvent-the-wheel state, the AppleTV apps STILL function vastly better & more responsive than the apps on any other streaming box or smart TV.
Enshittification hasn’t *yet* come for the little AppleTV box. Thank gawd.
