Channels @getchannels is underrated as a local media server. Used it for years for OTA antenna as a complement to Plex, but the speed and lack of bloat for my local media library is pretty refreshing..

Our beta testers have been losing their minds over Multiview and we're so pumped to be able to deliver it to everyone.

It supports multiple layouts and is super easy to use.

Our new TV show views have a lot of the same additions, but are even easier to get back into the next episode to watch.

Our new movie views don't just look great, they're incredibly useful now.

• View and explore cast, directors, or writers
• Browse and watch Extras you have added
• Jump to other movies in the same franchise
• Explore Library Collections the movie belongs to
• Browse similar movies from your library

Channels 7.0 for Apple TV & iOS

Rich art, movie extras, multiview, and more.

@steven_aquino Yes, this is correct. Their guide data is now using images with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is not something we can control. We adjusted the layout of Channels when using their guide data for their guide data.

I don't see any text cut off? Had we not made the change on our end in 6.3.1, it would have been cut off because the old aspect ratio was 4:3, but now they return 16:9.

Our subscription product, using our provided guide data, still uses 4:3 aspect ratio images.

@steven_aquino This was a change that Silicon Dust made in their guide data. Their art is now 16x9. The latest update to Channels for HDHomeRun (version 6.3.1) should have fixed it.

Are you seeing something different? Screenshots would be helpful.
