Apple TV Remote Playback tab design

Postby timswf » 29 Dec 2020 18:20

Hi all - it was great to find the Apple TV local storage cache feature that only VLC has managed to achieve.

Would it be possible to make that tab more visually appealing please? Perhaps move the URL and info to a settings section to focus more on the content?

It there a way to check remotely via a webpage what's stored on the Apple TV? That would be a handy feature when adding movies from a different room.

Thank you!

Best regards Tim

The web page is simple to do because this is exactly what we already offer on iOS and for the other things, it isn't exactly complicated either. However, we need help on time! so if you can contribute or know someone who can, that would be very much appreciated.

You are welcome and it's great to hear that you like what we do. Just for the record, do you just want a list of the things are that are stored or would you also want to be able to download _from_ the Apple TV to your computer using the web browser?

Would it be possible to add a way to download the cached media from VLC Apple TV back to a Mac via that HTTP interface?

Yes, that would be quite easy to do as it is already done for iOS.
