Status of TVos app

[Allan]

Is the TVos app still in development? If so, is commercial skipping a planned feature?

Also, how well does it currently handle watching in progress shows? So far, the closest I have found to handling viewing of recordings that are in progress is the the Kodi plugin (the only issue being it gets confused by com skip information that is provided and accessed during the broadcast - workaround is to post process comskip)

Thanks.

No, not really. It's been a few years since any new features were added to it.

It shows comskip markers, but doesn't auto skip them. I have no plans to make changes to further changes at this stage. Available time is my main reason. Holding down a job, busy family, and NextPVR doesn't leave me with a lot of time for focusing on the iOS/tvOS/Android client applications.

Can anyone comment on how well the TVos app currently handles watching in progress shows?

While I do own the TVos app to support the development of NPVR everywhere, I don't really use the app for watching content.  I find it much better to point Plex to the NPVR recording directory and use Plex to watch the content.  What NPVR does best is record content.  What Plex does best is allow you to see that content!

There is actually a slightly later tvOS app, which supports thumbnails. I did check it with in-progress recordings and it skipped fine. I'll try to find some time to get that released.
