Oh, my word word a horrible UI. I usually use the app on my TV to get 5.1 but I watched John Oliver yesterday as 2.0 is fine for that. Native pause & play on the remote doesn’t work?!
I can imagine the conversation in Now HQ
”I’m telling you, Keith, Apple don’t know a flip about software we go with our own UI show those Cali Boys how its done”
“What ya got in mind, boss?”
“Well get this… how do you pause video on the Apple TV remote?”
”With the pause button?”
“Exactly! But get this, wouldn’t it be a better user experience if you pressed select, and then when the big banner covers half the screen, you then highlight pause and press select again?”
“Er… but we’re sticking with pressing play for, well, play, right?”
“Of course not, Keith you idiot, the user has already been trained to use our simpler, select, hightlight, select protocol”
”Well… er… and how long is that banner going to stay on the screen after selecting, highlighting, and selecting?”
”The lads are still working on it, but definitely at least ten seconds”
”You’ve certainly earned your bonus this year, sir”
