Hello,

I am sort of “reviving” my years old app called “Chill Zones”. Originally it was meant as a way to get “custom screensavers” on Apple TV by smoothly looping videos you upload to your iCloud. But you can use it to play any videos on a loop.

New version 2.0 uses new iCloud features to improve the reliability of syncing between iOS devices and Apple TV.
There is currently public TestFlight and I will be super happy if you try it out and let me know if there are any bugs. Since iCloud can be finicky, the iOS app prominenty reports any iCloud related errors.

This looks pretty cool!

Just so I understand, the app will take a copy of one of my videos and upload it to an area of iCloud that’s used just by this app? So my original video is not changed in any way?
