    Can’t preview videos on TV app

    In the recent update, Apple redirected all transactions relating to video purchases from iTunes to the TV app on iOS. But how to preview videos before making purchase on the TV app? This is so annoying.

    TV app playlist folders open from every interaction.

    Hello, since the Sonoma update for macOS, the TV app playlist folder seems to have strange behavior when you have playlists nested inside a folder. If, for example, you create a new playlist either by left-clicking or dragging it over to the side menu, this will automatically open/expand every...

    Resolved TV App corrupt even after reinstall

    The Apple TV App was corrupt on RC2. I downloaded the final version (same rev) and installed again. It is still corrupt and cannot be launched. Isn't this on the sealed snapshot? How can this be? Any ideas on how to fix it? I can see the app in the Finder, but it is "not visible" in terminal.

    Hi. Apologies if this isn't the correct place to post this but I'm struggling to find a forum for Chronosync. I have a MacBook Pro M1 Max and a Synology NAS of which I'm very new to. I bought it as I intended to move my 'iTunes' Media to a NAS and stream it to my Apple TV using Plex, but I also...

    Mac TV app not seeing shared media - Is this just not a thing?

    Perhaps I'm misremembering, but back in the good ol' days of iTunes, I though we used to be able to access our shared media libraries, including Movies and TV, right in iTunes. I'm familiar with accessing my shared media library (stored on my Mac mini) on the Apple TV, but I was hoping that...

    Mac TV App is Very Broken

    Just wondering, has anybody noticed that the Mac TV App is the biggest failure in the new operating systems. The bloated iTunes app was easy compared to TV App. For instance with the TV App, if you want to search your library, every time you do you have to click View and Show Filter Field and it...

    Apple TV app causing hard freeze requiring reboot on new 16" M1 Max MBP

    The screen on the new 16" MBP is the best display in the house! I've been using it to watch Invasion and Foundation with the TV app. But I've experienced a hard freeze twice now - at the end of an episode, sometimes I'll skip ahead through the end credits to see if there's any preview content...

    Apple TV app no longer searches other apps for content (“More Ways to Watch”)

    So I have noticed recently that I can no longer search the TV app for *any* show, and get search results indicating which apps feature that content. For example, I used to be able to search “BoJack Horseman”, and the show would be listed in the search results, I could tap it, and see that I...

    TV app playlist shuffle on macOS?

    Hello, I was wondering if there was anyway to shuffle a playlist on the TV app? (Just like how a music playlist works on the Apple Music App) You can do this via the home sharing app on the Apple TV (product not app) where a playlist can be shuffled, however you can not seem to do this via...

    Universal Mac Media Remote - A Siri Shortcut to Control the Music and TV Apps on your Mac

    This Siri shortcut is meant to be an alternative to Apple's Remote app. It's not as pretty but it's faster and thus more convenient. This Mac Media Remote shortcut controls both the Music and TV apps on a Mac computer. Versions 3.0 and later are only compatible with iOS 13 and MacOS 10.15.x...

    TV App on Mac Always Forgets I have paid to watch shows

    Under Catalina on my iMac Pro, I am now forced to use the new TV app (iTunes was SO much better...!). It is an absolute PITA. I bought several TV seasons and Movies. Yes, I paid full Apple price and downloaded them. Until just last month, my internet here in the Hinterlands was way too slow...

    Apps Up Next in TV App

    Up Next in the TV App is useless, almost. Won’t update episode progress. Also, can’t mark single episodes as marked. Anyone else having the same issue. On 13.1 beta 3 though. Maybe it’ll get fixed once the public release is out.

    iPhone TV App: Can't tap on iTunes extras near top of screen

    I'm using an iPhone 7 Plus and in the TV app I can't tap on extras for movies near the top of the screen. For example, in Avengers Endgame, if I go to Movie Selection, tapping "Play Movie" does nothing. Likewise in the Secret Scripts screen tapping "Avengers Script Security and the Secret...

    Memory footprint of new Catalina media apps?

    Anyone know the average memory footprint for the new Music, Podcasts, and TV apps? (I say 'average' because there's variability in the footprint over time. Upon first launch, it's always at a low amount, but that changes over time.)
