I couldn’t agree more!
Haha! So true.

Well in MrMC’s case it doesn’t help either that it doesn’t work with the version of SMB that Macs use and don’t clearly state that. It was driving me nuts since I was having no issue with Infuse, NAStify, etc. until I found a mention of it in some random thread on their forums. So there’s that to legitimately get Apple users worked up. Doesn’t help either that the MrMC UX is alpha quality at best.

I have used MrMC with an airport USB hard drive SMB and it works fine. It didn’t work at first and I had to rename my Airport Extreme to a shorter name without spaces and characters and that solved it. Didn’t use the zeroconfig but had to add share manually. Not sure if the mac shares use a different version of SMB than the Airport Extreme but maybe this will solve your problem. Your right about the ugly UI but playback is perfect. Still prefer infuse though because of UI. I think in a few weeks/months the playback issues will be resolved in infuse.
I’m not sure what the Airport extreme is using for SMB and haven’t been able to test with mine. MrMC is crashing on me each time I try to select it. I can say for sure though that the Mac is using SMBX which the MrMC devs say isn’t supported and won’t work. The extreme might still be using Samba which Apple stopped using in OS X.
Either way MrMC has enough issues for me right now that I can’t see why I’d replace Infuse and Air Server at this point for it. I’m switching between those two right now and Air Server is hanging around mainly due to speed. I’m really hoping the Infuse speed improvements are as promised so it can become my one stop shop.
I have finally been able to log into MrMC forums now after an overnight gestation period. Also I was successful in accessing or at least am seeing my files on my Mac by downloading and using SMBup but have yet to connect to the files until I can figure out how the username/password configuration works. It’s not clear on how to set it up as there are too many settings but I am hoping after reading the equivalent of a small novel, that I will be successful in the future. Either that or go the MrMC forum support site and ask some more questions regarding step by step instructions on setting SMBup correctly on a Mac 
I think that I trust how MrMC will work (crossing my fingers) even with its early shortcomings on the new Apple TV and its TVOS assimilation. Perhaps it was hastily compiled?
Both MrMc and Infuse struggle to play Sintel 4K movie. MrMc started quick, and after 10 seconds it pixelated and stuttered. Infuse took more than 15 seconds to start and played for a new second then no picture.
This movie plays perfectly fine on Nvidia Shield with Kodi.
Okay, I got Infuse to work flawlessly but so far through the AirPlay feature from my iPad. MrMC seems to work but I get errors and it won’t play the 5.1 without the annoying sound. So back to Infuse for now. I am wondering if using my Apple TV connected via wifi only will solve the issue as it is now using an Ethernet connection?
I’m getting 6-7-800Mb/s wireless through an Airport Extreme, so much better than the 100Mb/s wired. But I guess you could calculate if the wired connection is saturated from the file size
MrMc is very fast when you click left/right for 10-second Rew/FF. it starts instantly after each left/right click.
Infuse takes 6 seconds to start, and it won’t start until you click center after many left/right clicks.
Hopefully the next 4.0.2 update would improve this the performance of starting and rew/FF playback.
Whut? Who still has 100mb/s wired today? Gigabit has been standard for a long time.
Apple obviously as the wired connection on th ATV4 is only 100mb/s.
