Good player with improvements needed

Please make the following fixes and additions for the Apple TV app:

1. Editing or finishing editing metadata crashes the app.

2. Add numbers to each folder, either from the home screen or on top of the screen when inside a folder, so we know if the whole catalog is added. Right now it is hidden in Resources.

3. Fix the numbers. Movies plus TV Shows plus Others should equal the Total, but it does not.

4. Add playback for HDR, DV, and Atmos.

5. Allow the option to sort by name, while disregarding The at the beginning of the name.

6. Allow the ability to see and select multiple versions of a movie or TV show.

Thanks for making a player that can edit metadata!

That's a great idea, we will consider it. Thank you for your feedback.

Mandatory Upgrade to Pro Version

I have been using the free version for some months and was satisfied. However, when trying to resume a movie that had been interrupted by a phone call, my only option was upgrading to the pro version.

I understand that development costs time and money, but will not accept changing the rules without proper notice. As it stands now, app has been uninstalled.

Sorry, the old version is not compatible with the new features, so it has to be upgraded

rating error

Aside from that, although the platform uses TMDB ratings, in the main page rating filter, all non-US rated movies are categorized as "NR" (Not Rated). This includes movies like "Saw," which is rated R-15 on TMDB but falls under the least restrictive NR category on Vidhub. I hope the rating filter can be more accurate in categorizing movies.

Rug pull

Excellent app that became a paid only app suddenly without warning. It’s not the fact that I have to pay for it, it’s that I wasn’t even told this was ever going to happen and got blindsided. Hope it was worth it.

Thanks for your support as we work to make VidHub the best it can possibly be!

Battery drain

Battery draining faster even in offline videos.

Ask for support for 4K HDR

I would give a 5 star rating for the excellent work on movie/drama categorization, which is better than Infuse. However, when it comes to playing 4K Dolby Vision HDR content, such as high-quality movies like Dune: Part 2 (63GB), the dark pixels display very poorly, appearing almost completely black. Only 3 star for display HDR content. So average 4 stars.

Heralded as a free app but then they pulled the plug

Despite it missing HDR support, the app was relatively good. The developers promoted a free app but a few weeks after getting used to using have made it a subscription only app. I’m afraid that is too shady a tactic. If it was initially promoted as a paid app, no problem but switching to paid only once users were getting used to it is dishonest.

Thanks a bunch for the kind words! 🌟 I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the app so much! 😊 Adding HDR range matching for tvOS is a fantastic suggestion, and I'll definitely pass it along to our development team. Keep an eye out for updates, and in the meantime, keep enjoying your content on our app! 📺✨

Works really well. Only one major problem.

The app overall does a great job organizing tv and movie files and such from my cloud drives. And I especially love the feature that groups movies together as a single series.

The only major issue I have is that it uses the TMDB api to sort episodes, and to put it frankly, a lot of that information is inaccurate and causes certain files I have to get mismatched.

For example for the 80s transformers show, TMDB doesn’t count the three part premiere as part of the series even though everyone else does, so those get draped over episodes that happen three episodes later.

Or two part episodes, despite airing on the same day, are treated as two separate episodes causing a different episode to apply to part two.

Or the wrong airing dates will be used so episodes will be out of order.

If they used a different API like the one from IMDb that would be so much better as that information is accurate and matches how everyone usually organizes the episodes of shows.
