Three fixes to things that are used every day: the track menus on the new playback engine, where a series opens, and the profile PIN screen.
Requires tvOS 18 or later.
Fixed
- The audio and subtitle menus now show which track is playing. On the Aether engine the checkmark was decided once, before playback had resolved a selection, and then never moved. Off stayed ticked in the subtitle list while a subtitle was on screen, including the one just chosen, and the audio list often showed no current track at all. The menus now follow the engine's selection as it changes, so the checkmark is correct while the panel stays open.
- A series opens on the season in progress. The episode list started on the first season every time, even when the Play button beside it was already offering an episode from season four. The season tab now opens on the episode Play would resume and scrolls it into view. Focus stays on Play, so the artwork and the action row remain on screen.
- The profile PIN screen fits on the television. The identity and the keypad were stacked and together asked for more height than a 1080p panel has, so the avatar was cut off the top and the fallback button off the bottom. They now sit side by side, at full size — the keys are unchanged targets for a remote. The zero key is aligned with the column above it.
Internal
- The profile screens and their PIN entry have automated coverage for the first time, including a check that every key is drawn within the screen.
- A watch party test could only pass on a simulator that had already been through first-run setup, which made a working screen look broken. Both it and the new profile test now declare that they are under test.
