Virtual Channels Difference 5.1.0 vs. 5.0.1

#1

I have a collection consisting of one show with 26 episodes. It runs as a virtual channel. On IOS 15 Channels 5.0.1, I can open future episodes and each plays from the beginning the show listed in the pop up when I press Watch. In 5.1.0, when I open an episode, Channels plays the current episode show in the time line. If I open a future episode, Channels plays the current episode after showing information about the future episode. No way to advance to the next.

Yeah this is broken. 5.0.1 shipped broken as well, so you've yet to see how it actually works :frowning: The Apple TV has the correct experience.

Here's how it should work:

  • Tap to play the current airing, get a Watch button. Tap it and it starts at the current time.
  • Tap to play an airing in the future, get a Watch Now button. Tap it and it starts the airing from the beginning.

I'll fix it up and report back when it's resolved.
