On the new Apple TV (running tvOS 9.1), there appears to be a hard limit of 7 simultaneous AVPlayers onscreen. This is lower than the limit we are seeing on recent devices running iOS 9.2. Is the limit of 7 simultaneous AVPlayers by design on tvOS? Or is it limited based on the performance of the device?
How many instances of AVPlayer are allowed?
If you don't see a number in the official Apple documentation, then there are no promises and the limit's going to depend both on the OS version and the device you're running on.
