    Block ATV+ content

    Please tell me there’s a way, buried in a menu somewhere, that I can block my AppleTV from ever showing, recommending or auto playing the carousel preview for “A Carpool Karoke Christmas”.

    HomeKit HomePod 2nd gen stereo pair as Apple TV 4K home theatre not linked together anymore?

    Did I miss something, or has the way changed how a HomePod stereo pair, set up as Apple TV home theater is shown in the home app? On previous versions there was an Apple TV and Homepod icon showing when doing so, but now the devices are separated. I had some issues if you saw my comments, had to...

    A new app lets you screenshot and record your Apple TV on your iPhone

    Hello everyone, I noticed that people usually take photos of their Apple TV with a camera. There's no app in the App Store that allows you to take screenshots or record videos from an Apple TV using an iPhone or iPad, so I recently developed an app — ChMirror. It enables you to take screenshots...

    HomeKit HomeKit went from near flawless to barely usable

    My HomeKit setup has always worked great but recently has became close to unusable. The issues started when I added more lights to a room. Before it was flawless, at home and away. It started to remember old lights that I'd completely removed, so when I say "turn the lights on" it will and then...

    Any advantages over good smart TV?

    I have a decent Samsung with smart tv that has every app I need, EXCEPT F1TV. Are there any other advantages of AppleTV over Samsung smart tv? 1 app is a weak argument to buy it for 1/4 of minimal salary in my country, especially since I can cast it from my phone via AirPlay (even if it works...

    Apple TV - Significant Yet Undocumented New Behaviour

    A really weird one.... I use Apple TV daily, its my main TV interface and about a week or so ago - NOT coinciding with any software updates (to my knowledge anyway) the way the box works has changed significantly. Usually I go to the TV app, and scroll down once to get my up next at the top of...

    ******tification of the Apple Ecosystem (Music, TV/Film, Apps)

    /rambling_rant The incredible and astute Cory Doctorow coined the word enshtiffication (******tification: The 2023 Digital Word of the Year), mostly to describe how online communities would be destroyed by predatory business models (e.g. MySpace, Twitter). There's a great article in the FT for...

    Apps Plex 4K HDR Stuttering on AppleTV is Thermal Throttling

    Heads up if you've been struggling with this for the past few years like so many of us... Most of the AppleTV 4K HDR stuttering issue appears to be thermal throttling due to too much CPU use by the Plex app. Because its home-grown player is not making use of the hardware acceleration available...

    Movies on Apple TV now in 3D

    Well..... Apple is just too lazy to fix movie covers. It is just so sad, that there aren't more attention to this. At least give the option to select custom covers to fix this mess in ones movie collection. Every movie studio is fighting for profit, I do my best to help (6.700$ spend on movies...

    Error in audiotrack on Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 from iTunes Store in 4K

    I bought the movie on the Danish Apple iTunes Store, and have contacted Apple to report an error with the movies audiotrack. But they can't/won't help as they don't accept responsibility for the digital content provided by Disney (Marvel). Which I find very odd. When played via an Apple TV box...

    DolbyVision on AppleTV

    I have a 4K AppleTV, 2nd gen I think, and a Samsung TV that supports HDR10+ but not DolbyVision. However, when I watch Netflix from the AppleTV app, the DolbyVision tag shows up on the movies. I was under the impression that the tag would only show up if your TV supports DolbyVision. If I use...

    AppleTV remote malfunction

    It has happened a few times already that my Apple TV remote gets "stuck" sending the same input over and over again. It usually happens with the volume up button, which makes it all the more annoying cause the volume will almost instantly jump to 100. I knew the problem was with the remote as...

    A year+ ago my yamaha stereo finally pooped the bed (😢). I want to get a surround system going again, but looking for a simpler approach using AirPlay from my AppleTV.
