right, but in live tv/dvr clicking the touchpad brings up the old OSD. however, clicking play/pause does not. I'm thinking they should be the same if possible.

Seems to be the same in the App Store version too. I’ve never watched a movie via MrMC since getting the Apple TV, always used plex but it was transcoding audio and it sounded really flat so thought I’d give it a try!

Maybe not the best explanation, I can probably take a picture of it though it’s that obvious!

I just watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (4K HDR) and the blacks were black and not pixelated.

Here's plex:


Here's MrMC:


I'm guessing it's some setting on my end, but I haven't changed anything besides switching off Hardware Acceleration because of interlace detection problems with TVHeadend. I've tried turning it back on too and it's the same.

Apple TV settings I have 4k HDR 60hz with match Dynamic Range enable (not match Frame Rate, the constant flashing when switching content drove me insane!)
