Automatically matches XMLTV EPG data to entries in the user's own playlists. Fast switching between multiple audio tracks, with no overload or stuttering. Fast switching across subtitle formats (WebVTT, TTML/STPP, DVB, CEA-608/708), where other players require a long wait when changing subtitle tracks. First player on the Apple TV platform to support importing playlists with #KODIPROP directives. We plan to develop Aurora BOX into a cross-platform player. Supports high-bitrate media playback up to 8K/4K/HDR/HDR10.
