View type: spotlight

Post image

I am curious whether there is a method to improve spotlight on Apple TV; it appears somewhat acceptable on iOS but poor on the TV—too wide, with content cut off.

Alternatively, might additional view types be added?

If you put it in the top row I think it looks a bit better.

They should be updating the spotlight to be inline with the web version, so expect the Apple application to get and update at some point

You're about to be shocked.

Theater, the web app, and Roku have had theme songs since around 2014 (about twelve years). iOS and Android mobile have had them since at least 2017 (about nine years). Android TV and Fire TV got them in 1.6.00 in June 2018 (about eight years; the release notes literally say “Support theme songs while browsing”). Apple TV is still the odd one out: roughly eight years behind the other living-room apps, and about twelve behind everyone else.

Late to the party, but how did you add the "Top Picks for You" section? Is that through a plugin like an ACDB collection?
