Advice Needed - ADBTuner or AH4C?

@bnhf

I pulled the latest bnhf/ah4c:appletv.test image today (7/4/26) and confirmed that it was definitely rebuilt today, but the build history still shows CDVR_RELEASE=2026.06.29.0212. So the image is fresh, but it’s still pinned to the older Channels release bundle. That explains why ffmpeg is still 4.2.4. If Channels developers pushed a newer ARM release today, the Dockerfile needs to point at that newer release tag???

Heres a clip right from my mac terminal:

Quite right. I was assuming they'd update latest (which is always the version I pull for this purpose), but I can understand why they didn't -- and why that wouldn't make sense.

So, there's a new bnhf/ah4c:appletv.test that temporarily pins the build to 2026.07.04.2015. I'll keep it pinned there until the next stable release.

@bnhf looks good! From my container console in portainer

Little late to the party, here's my test: with latest bnhf/ah4c:appletv.test I get atvremote version 0.18.0 (great!) and...

...in Portainer console. All works as expected, very snappy.
