Another basic request I have: if you are building your own video player, make sure it's not MUCH worse than system's default. This is particularly glaring in Apple TV: system player has really decent UX, and almost all third-party implementations are terrible. Slow, laggy, jumpy or some mix of these. Scrubbing is commonly the worst aspect.
- mastercheif 5y agoThe YouTube app on Apple TV is a giant middle finger from Google to their users. I’m convinced that not a single person on that team dog foods on an Apple TV at home. I wouldn’t trust myself the app on an Apple TV around children because I wouldn’t be able to hold back my cursing when attempting to scroll a list, selecting an element, using the seekbar, or use basic functionality implemented on other platforms like “add to watch later”.
- kitsunesoba 5y agoThe Apple TV YouTube app also manages to break typing into its search field when using the iPhone remote, with letters frequently getting transposed. It’s infuriating.
