> It only allows you to connect to a server instance via unencrypted http:// http:// Hmm, no, it doesn’t. No idea why you believe that. It works perfectly fine with https url. I don’t really understand the rest of your comment as indexing and metadata look ups are done by the server and not the client. Plus Swiftfin uses VLC under the hood so it shouldn’t have issue with playback. Are you using the fairly recent stable version or are you experience on an older development version? Swiftfin has been officially available for only a month.

On my end, it definitely does not work with https. I'm using the main stable version on the tvOS app store that I downloaded about a week ago. The default connection url is http:// http://, and changing it manually to https:// https:// causes it to fail and throw no errors. FWIW, I can't connect with https via the web interace either, so in theory this could be just an issue with my server install. If the indexing and metadata is done by the server, then the server just is worse than Plex at figuring out what things are. I can't tell you why it crashes when I try to play back videos that work just fine via the web interface, but it does. They're normal 1080p h264 .mkv files.
