    Continue Watching

    Apple TV Continue Watching seems to work intermittently and now is back to not keeping track of which episode I'm on. I've tried all the suggested solutions and it still doesn't work. This is not acceptable customer service. I'm tired of spending my time trying to fix problems from untested...

    Velko: IPTV Player & TV Guide - native Apple TV app for your own Xtream/M3U service

    Hi all — indie dev here. I built Velko because the Apple TV IPTV space is mostly Android ports, and I wanted something that feels native: SwiftUI throughout, a classic fast TV guide with full EPG, Siri-Remote-first navigation. You bring your own provider (Xtream Codes or any M3U playlist) —...

    Apple TV Formula 1 Coverage

    I have been a Formula 1 fan for a very long time and since the F1 app and F1 TV app were made available on iOS, iPad OS and TVOS I have been a subscriber to the F1 TV Pro subscription. I could watch the races, qualification events, practices and weekend events without interruption. Loved it and...

    Seeking feedback on an Apple TV concept

    Hi everyone! I was hoping to receive some feedback on a smart soundbar concept I’ve over-imagineered as “HomePod Hi-Fi” inspired by terrible smart TV UI’s, HomePod, Apple TV, iPod Hi-Fi, and the rumored home hub “HomePad.” I’m extremely opinionated on the idea of a small screen on a HomePod...

    Apple TV, iCloud+ and Family Sharing

    I just started an Apple TV subscription, and have set up Family Sharing to share it, but I don't want to share my iCloud+ with everyone else. Is there a way to share iCloud+ with some family members but not others?

    If Apple made a dedicated gaming device, should it be a gaming Mac or an Apple TV/ video game console hybrid?

    I wanted to offset the doomsaying discussions dominating MacRumors' front page forum row with a fresh topic. For years I've been speculating that Apple will eventually create a designated AAA ready Apple TV. With each iteration of the streamer box they inch a little bit closer to this...

    HomeKit Issue with WiFi access points and HomeKit

    Hoping for help from someone smarter than I when it comes to WiFi access points and HomeKit. I am having issues with many of my HomeKit devices showing no response, and i believe it has to do with my WiFi access points. My current setup has my ISP (comporium) running coaxial cable into their...

    “What We’re Watching” Missing from Apple TV App?

    Has anyone else noticed that the “What We’re Watching” section is missing from the Apple TV app homepage? That and “Trending” were the only sections I used to discover new movies and shows. I know Apple recently simplified the homepage—did they rename it, or is it gone for good?

    Is my first gen Apple TV obsolete?

    I have a first gen Apple TV which I only use very occasionally. As I recall, when I turn it on a window came up with choices: Movies, Podcasts, etc. Today I don't get that window. It opens with two icons, Computers and Settings. If I follow Settings, there is a list of options: General Main Menu...

    Apps Dolby Atmos streaming from Apple Music on Mac to OG HomePod ATV setup

    Sorry if this is a noob question, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. My issue is that I cannot stream Dolby Atmos music from Apple Music on my Mac to my OG HomePod ATV setup. Dolby Atmos will play from my iPhone, iPad, and ATV to the same setup. Sounds great, too. But not...

    HomeKit Strange HomeKit (Apple TV home hub) issue

    Just recently, two of my Apple TV showed up in HomeKit as “No Response”, not at same time, but about a week apart. In Home App, under Settings->Home Hubs & Bridges, the icon changed as a speaker instead of Apple TV. However, it seems still function as usual. When first one became no response, I...

    Universal Loop any video on your Apple TV - perhaps as a screensaver

    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...

    Can I use Apple TV for music without TV

    I am looking for a simple way to listen to Apple Music via Apple TV without a TV. What have I already tried: The Bluesound is connected to the TV with an optical cable and produces sound, but as soon as the TV is turned off, the sound also disappears. When I use Apple Music with only Bluesound...

    Apple TV emulator or apps

    Just a random thought but Apple should have really made an Apple TV emulator of sorts for this thing. Then all streaming services would at least be available in full 4k quality with surround sound… I’m starting to get really annoyed that there’s no way to watch peacock or prime other than crappy...

    Is there an Apple TV app that lets you locally store videos/photos to watch offline?

    I'm talking about an app that is like the "Files app" on iOS, or anything alike. I just have some videos that are on my MacBook that I would like to have stored on my Apple TV to watch them offline without any internet connection at all. I have the 4th Generation Apple TV. Is this possible? If...

    Apple TV Channels are the answer to cord cutting but Apple is letting them slowly die.

    I love the concept of Apple TV Channels. Apple’s intention for them is a great idea in the midst of an ever broken streaming market where everything is fragmented across multiple apps. But Apple really is letting go of a GREAT TV opportunity with channels. Great ideas they include: •...
