    How come Apple has not fixed when you click on a movie it opens the AppleTV App instead of this screen?

    So if you click on a movie when you are on the Home Screen on any Apple TV model since 2015, non-4K or 4K, it takes you to this screen: Why has Apple not fixed this, since it adds an unnecessary step to get to the movie(s) you were looking at to possibly buy or rent, or to get to things you...

    Universal Introducing "Posters" – My first Spatial-first app for Vision Pro

    As a huge film fan, I’ve been decorating my walls with film posters for a long time. But static posters can get boring over time. So when Apple launched the Vision Pro and reviewers stated that the window positions were very accurate, I immediately thought I could build an app to decorate my...

    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...

    LIBRARY not working on new AppleTV 4K (2021)

    Hey all, have been having a fun few months trying to get this issue resolved with Apple, but it appears to be a wider spread issue than just me, and applies solely to the new model (2021) AppleTV 4K. The issue is that the LIBRARY tab in the AppleTV app will not load ANY purchases. It will just...

    Itunes movies appear to be 60fps

    Got the new 4K box. I’ve got the ATV set to match content for framerate, but all my iTunes movies appear to be playing back at 4K/60 instead of 24fps. Is there another setting I need to toggle?

    Screen mirroring is a misnomer.

    Screen mirroring is a lie. Are there any apps that allow real screen mirroring? By which I mean that no matter what is on your phone it will be mirrored along with sound to your tv. This is not what “screen mirroring” does either with Apple TV or Samsung smart TV’s. Yes it will mirror your home...

    Better Integrated Family Sharing, Please

    My family uses my Apple account to access our purchased movie library. My wife has titles that she purchased years ago on her account. While we can access them from my account (TV > Library > Family Sharing > [Wife's Name] > Movies), the process is a little convoluted. It would be convenient to...

    iPhone XR Question for XR owners

    How is watching movies on the XR in terms of screen brightness (and just generally) compared to the Max or a plus phone (any of them)? I did compare my 6s+ to an XR and Max in store playing various videos via youtube and found that the XR looked better than my 6S+. But I've read that the XR...

    Does anyone else have this problem with AppleTV?

    This is driving me crazy! And so far, I can find nothing on Apple Support forums or via Google for an answer. On my Apple TV fourth generation and my Apple TV 4K, as well as my third generation, the recommended tab in the movie section is always empty and tells me to start rating movies to get...

    Background turns grey when playing videos

    Hi folks, Since I upgraded to High Sierra a month or three back, I've been running into an interesting problem: when I'm playing videos - or when the computer thinks I am - the rest of the screen (ie, everything but the video rectangle) totally desaturates and turns to greyscale. Initially it...

    Is there a way to use google drive or some other cloud service to stream movies to your Apple TV?

    I have a bunch of digital movies that I want to load to a google drive and then be able to stream those from any device I have like Apple TV, iPad, or iPhone. I saw that Plex had an option for this, but they will be taking down their cloud device option. I wanted to see if there was any other...

    Marvel Studio story juggernaught (no spoiler).

    Last night saw Ant-man and The Wasp. Completely enjoyed it and not seeing the first was not a detriment (did see Civil War). Despite the serious elements, it felt far more like a comedy than action movie, and Michael Peña had me bust a gut with his character. Heck, even most of the bad guys...
