MrMC for tvOS 1.6.0 has been released.
There is one change. DivX support has been removed pending license negotiations.

Can you tell a little more about DivX support ?
AFAIK, DivX is nothing more than MPEG4 Part 2, so it's a subset of the original MPEG4 standard. It's nothing more than Advanced Simple Profile, Level 5, with a selection of tools.
So any MPEG4 decoder can handle DivX/XVid video.
As far as I can remember the only part you needed licensing for was their DRM, but that died a long time ago.

Wrong DivX
See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX specifically concerning version 4, 5 and 6 of their formats.

Ya I notice a few old junk movies I got are actually DivX and do not play on latest MrMC (although a few still do). I never realized I had any of these old DivX files.
Good excuse to update those to HD or delete them for good.
But I hope the licensing thing gets resolved just so it is compatible.
