While I can't reproduce it, I have noticed a bug in the navigation with the buttons that I think might be causing it. I'll get a build out with a fix in a few for you to try.

OK, try this build:
Nope still get stuck in On Now.
Not sure if this helps, but i notice that if i scroll down several rows in On Now, Pressing the back button, triggers a scroll up one row and always the far left one, until it gets back to the top of the On Now page.
Oh, I just noticed that you have the Channel Collection filters turned off, this is possibly the problem.
I found the setting I think u mean... in Server side settings.
Yes, enabling that, now there is a filter bar at the top of On Now, and, from personal section, pressing back does exit the section. However, I do not want that filter bar on, I do not need it.
The normal On Now, when added to the navigation sidebar, with no Collection Filter on, works fine, u can exit it by going to the nav sidebar. But when you open it from Personal Collections and have no Collections Filter enabled, you are stuck. I have always had Channel Collection filters off. On Now is the only section that does this.
This is resolved in the latest prerelease.
It is. Thank you!
Personal Sections getting pretty smooth at this point.
Is there a timeline for releases it as Public Stable feature.... or is there still things to be added before it is out of Beta?
Also, I am sure Android users would also love this.
Yep, we're pretty much wrapping up Personal Sections and are ready to call them complete. At least for a first version.
We'll be doing a stable build here soon.
I guess it's worth mentioning specifically that Personal Sections are now available on iOS and iPadOS, not just on tvOS as the thread originally stated.
The addition for the Sidebar navigation was required to make use of them, and that's now available on the mobile apps.
I've been having lots of fun with Personal Sections. Is it on the roadmap to add the ability to add items from a playlist? I can add a button to launch a playlist, I think, but I mean the ability to have a row that displays items pulled from a playlist, so I could see, for example left to right, the thumbnails of the movies in order that are in a playlist as I go down my personal section.
No, mostly because the content rows can’t support mixed formats.
This is primarily why the List layout was created, so mixed content could be presented.
If your playlist is all movies, consider just making a Collection instead, if you want them in a row.
Or go pro and just label the items you want, then make a Playlist that pulls them in with Smart Rules, and then a Collection that does the same thing, and apply that to a row.
You can set Collections to hidden, so they don’t show in the library, and still use them to power rows.
Actually, you wouldn’t even need to use the Collection since you could just use the Label in the smart rules of the content row.
I tried to search but couldn't find anything regarding my question.
Is there any method to change the icon on the added button to launch a deep link to a streaming service? For example, I would like to add the Apple logo to the top of the button I have created to launch Apple TV+. I think it would be cool to add if it doesn't already exist. Like if launching Prime Video, having the Prime Video logo instead of just the standard link icon I think would be neat.
The icons available are the ones in the button editor.
There’s no ability to use your own images for buttons.
Ok.
Are there any trademark problems or are you guys able to add the various streaming service icons as options?
We won’t be adding brands.
I just installed the beta app on my iPad and I noticed that for every section such as videos, TV shows, etc. in personal sections and in the normal sections, each individual video is showing the artwork for the whole video group not each Individual video thumbnail. The normal stable app shows each thumbnail for each video
Only seeing this in the iOS version. The TV OS version on Apple TV is fine and is showing the individual video thumbnails fine
Beta
Stable
Tv show
Beta
Stable
EDIT. I also noticed that during playback the current time on the timeline bar is missing from the left side. time remaining is showing just fine on Right side. It’s the same in portrait or landscape Is that supposed to be that way on mobile?
The art changes are a bug.
The timeline change is not.
Could you add a blank icon for those of us using empty sections as sidebar spacers?
Virtual channels and personal sections have basically locked me into Channels! Nothing else comes close to what you can do with this software!
