AstrapeAstrape for Apple TV
All your movies,
at their best on Apple TV.
Astrape plays the films and shows on your NAS, your computer or your Plex, Jellyfin and Emby servers in full 4K, with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It starts at once and never stops to buffer.
A library worth browsing.
-
Point Astrape at your folders and it does the rest: posters, cast and seasons, sorted into Movies and TV Shows, with rows made for your library. Not Watched Yet, Kids, 4K Dolby Vision, even the folders you made yourself.
-
Films that belong together stay together: a saga, its sequels, a director's set. Astrape makes the collections from your own files.
-
Every season with its episodes and their stills. Resume picks up the episode you stopped, where you stopped it.
-
Every title in one place. Pick a genre, or type the first letters to jump straight to it.
-
Forgot the title? Describe the film in your own words, in many languages, and Astrape finds it in your library. The AI runs locally on your Apple TV, so nothing you type ever leaves it.
-
No re-encoding. No quality loss. Anything your Apple TV supports plays from the original file, in full Dolby Vision and HDR straight through its hardware decoder. With HDR films, Image Details measures the light and color of every scene. See all supported formats
Circle to find any moment.
Run your thumb around the Siri Remote’s clickpad: clockwise goes forward, the other way goes back. The frame you are on shows above the timeline, and when you let go, it plays from there at once.
Wherever your files are.
Wherever your files live, Astrape finds its way there.
