The app was never available on streaming boxes running Android TV, including the Shield, until yesterday.

Using on a newer Shield Pro and no judder no issues so far. Quite happy it worksaudit13 wrote: ↑ I had a chance to load the Apple TV app on a Shield 2017. I watched the first few minutes of John Wick 3 off iTunes and the judder was quite noticeable. I assume it's because Android TV and/or the app do not support auto frame rate switching. I watched the same few minutes on a 1st gen Apple TV 4K box and did not notice any judder.

Did you play a movie from iTunes?catpurrcat wrote: ↑ Using on a newer Shield Pro and no judder no issues so far. Quite happy it works

Yup, directly from an iTunes purchase. I actually bought a Chromecast with Google TV device recently to hold me over until the shield got an Apple TV app, and I’m happy to be able to retire that device to a relative since the Shield’s apple playback works just as well.

I'm using an LG OLED C7 which doesn't seem to have 3:2 pulldown issues but may be it does. I'm happy using my Apple TV since I don't need the Shield to stream and I use a Win10 HTPC for media files.catpurrcat wrote: ↑ Yup, directly from an iTunes purchase.

TV is a 2018 Vizio P with game mode on 100% of the time (seems to solve any micro stutters, judders, desync issues over the years)

No, you will need a 3rd party app on Android TV
