Issue
When playing a stream and not giving other input the AppleTV will drop into the screensaver.

Steps to reproduce
Log in, navigate to stream, play stream. Leave stream on and eventually the stream will stop and the screensaver will show.

Expected behavior
Screensaver is not activated while video is playing.

This url probably changes per race, but has this response format

Issue
When you need to enter the username and password and you get the option to use your phone's keyboard it doesn't really accept input.
What happens is that it sort of stays stuck on one character and discards all the rest.

Steps to reproduce
Open app and get to the log in screen.
Open iOS device and select the option to use keyboard on device.
Type credential.

Expected behavior
Being able to properly input credentials from keyboard on iOS device

Issue
In general when you open a stream it shows a frame and shows the loading animation. On streams that aren't life you can get the stream to play by pressing the play button. On the life stream trying to do this results (when I tested it during the Italian qualy) in a GT3 series stream coming up instead.

Steps to reproduce
Log it.
Select the race weekend set.
Select the 'Live' session.
Select the Main Feed.

Expected behavior
Stream plays when selected without having to press play again (and get the proper stream).

Maybe this is the same issue the other apps were having a while back, but none of the streams are working anymore in the app.

All the menus work, so you can see what is live and what isn't. But once you select a stream to watch, you only get the background and nothing else.

On live races, f1 provides live timing with Signalr.

Would it be possible to have ipa released that can be signed by the user?
I have an old Xcode (<13) and I cannot buld it from source.

Hey there!
Love the look of this and I plan to check it out later on my Apple TV. One big heads up though - stuff with the GPL License is technically not compatible with the App Store's distribution.

While this shouldn't really be an issue so far (since you're the only committer of code, and it doesn't seem like you've pulled in any other modules from elsewhere), it may be an issue later on if you start accepting outside contributions of code. In essence, when you publish the app on the store, it modifies the package to have a "purchase" restriction, even if the app is free. That's the part that breaks GPL "compatibility".

Since you're the sole copyright holder so far, if you do decide to publish it on the App Store, you essentially grant Apple a separate license to distribute the app on their terms. This isn't a formal process, it's just something you note this to yourself personally. If other contributions come up, then it gets tricky - you have to get every contributor to agree to the same license, or else you can't change it 😄

It's for this reason that over at https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-expo we decided to use the MPL 2.0 for our license, which is also what VLC for iOS/tvOS uses.

If you have any questions, let me know. After nearly two years of managing app releases for Jellyfin, I've learned more than I cared to about this...

I think you're pretty much there with the bare-bones stuff. Pretty much the only other feature request I think would be interesting is being able to have multiple streams going at the same time. Either from within the app itself or because it supports Apple's PIP implementation on aTV. With the PIP one could then stream from their phone or other device to the aTV while the app is still playing.
