Thanks. The channel surfing feature is a nice addition.

I have this problem from time to time too, Iāll try the latest update and see.
One thing Iāve noticed is the scroll wheel on the new remote doesnāt seem to work. For the native video controls you first pause playback, then rest your finger on the scroll wheel, then the UI changes and you can scroll left or right in a circular motion. This doesnāt seem to work in Channels yet though.
The Jog gesture only works in the native system video player. Channels uses it's own custom video player. It's unclear yet if we can even get the info we need from the new remote to even emulate the Jog gesture.

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. Fingers crossed they expose that via some API somewhere then.

WWDC this week, is the API for the circular scrubbing in custom players in the next version of tvOS?
Nope.
Things like this are attached to the system player and are never exposed. Apple doesnāt really have any concern for you when you diverge from their stuff.
They may if it is a big enough issue that it makes the Apple TV look bad. Hopefully they don't decide to open it up only to a select few apps. I expect they will open it up to make the remote functions work for other players, otherwise it becomes confusing for the customers.
