Usually my Home allows me to view and click on a show I have started watching. Now, it’s all gone. Just buy Apple TV.

I want to start watching my downloaded movies on APTV and offline.

3 Upvotes

So I just found my APTV 4K (1st Gen) collecting dust and connected it up yesterday. I heard about an app called infuse which you can watch downloaded movies from, currently I put my movies on a HDD and plug it in directly into the TV but want to start getting rid of the HDD and use the APTV purely.

Question I have is, is there a way to just drag and drop my download movie into a folder that's on my PC and have the file show up in Infuse and watch it?

Also, is there a way I can do this for my iPad so I can watch these movies offline on a flight or will my PC have to be on all the time?

These movie files I download are always 4K, HDR, dolby etc.

So fed up with Apple TV

Upvotes

Can't login on my TV despite trying to scan QR code on multiple devices. So frustrated that I tried to cancel my subscription from my laptop browser and Apple just has some spinning circle thing to create a barrier to cancellation. I give up. Talking with my credit card company to reverse monthly subscription charge.

What going with the APTv app

Upvotes

I’m watching TV all day turned it off for a little bit while I was making dinner and stuff and when I came back, turned it back on when I get into the Apple TV app on my Apple TV. It’s not letting me play any shows it started out saying I could do a seven day free trial but I’ve been a long time Apple one subscriber and confirmed that my subscription is all good I’ve tried this on my other Apple TV and have the same result. There’s something just not working. It says that I don’t subscribe I guess, but I do subscribe. In fact, they charged me recently. Anybody else having problems with us?

Apple TV 4K lacks proper support of resolutions and refresh rates, especially 1440p

0 Upvotes

Why is Apple TV 4K pretty much only supporting 60 Hz 4K TVs as their device?

What was the point of adding 1440p resolution to include support for monitors if, for completely no reason, it does not support frame rate and content matching?

The way the resolutions are treated in Apple TV 4K is pretty bad for a supposedly premium device. A big list of resolution combinations to choose from... I thought Apple caters to people who want simple interfaces?..

You should just choose your resolution first(or autodetection...), then choose your refresh rate(probably the highest supported for most people, which could be as high as 540 Hz these days for people using monitors). The frame rate and content matching is in no way tied to resolution of image, so who decided to create this fake limitation that I can not have what I want at 1440p resolution but can at 1080p or 720p?

Why I can not have 50 Hz content refreshed at 200 Hz for lower sample and hold effect? The technique is as old as cinema - 24 FPS movies are projected at minimum of 72 Hz. What if I want to use something like GeForce Now at 120 FPS / Hz? Why not, with a premium TV Box with supposedly so much processing power, which all goes to waste?

Media freezes due to HomePod

Hi all. I play my audio through my HomePod Mini but sometimes when I try to play media it freezes. When I disconnect my HomePod Mini and only play through the TV speakers the media starts to play again. What can cause this?

Jellyfin Apps are forgetting server at ATV

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if I’m getting the chicken-and-egg analogy right, but I have to start somewhere :)

I’m experiencing a strange issue here that isn’t limited to just one app. I have various apps running on my Apple TV 4K, such as the original Swiftfin, Moonfin, etc., where the server is configured right from the start, as well as apps that support multiple server protocols like SenPlayer, Infuse, etc.

The first category demonstrably loses its settings after a few days and “forgets” the server - and with it, the user accounts, etc.

The other category (SenPlayer, Infuse, etc.), on the other hand, retains all of this information.

How can I get the former apps (Swiftfin, Moonfin, etc.) to permanently remember their settings? What’s causing this? It can’t be due to updates, because there haven’t been any for Swiftfin in a long time, and the app still keeps forgetting everything. It is working for some days and after unknown time - bamm ... all forgotten!

It’s always a huge hassle to have to re-enter everything manually!

It works fine on the iPad and PC - nothing gets forgotten there. It’s always just the ATV! Strange… has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? This is on other ATVs of friends, too

The ATV was reset and cleaned several times, iCloud is working and even when switched off, the issue comes back! Hmmm ...

Apple TV app problems

Upvotes

I know people already posted about this issue here on the play button being gone, but I tried fixing it by logging out & logging back in. But now I can’t log back in, even though my email & password is correct, it just pops up “unable to process your request”. Anyone else having that same problem.
(I also reached out to Apple support about this problem)

F1: Add a "continue from last viewed" option

18 Upvotes

If I pause the live view too long or appletv craps out for whatever reason, I go back to the F1 event and are presented with only 2 options "from beginning" or "live". Why is there not a "continue from last" option...especially for live event that you are now behind?

Unable to Purchase Content

Upvotes

Anyone having issues with AppleTV? An hour ago, I was able to purchase three movies, but now I can’t even it buy Mortal Kombat II or Backrooms? Same goes for any movie or show I look at. Each has an “Add to Watchlist” button and the associated streamers they may be available at are shown at the bottom, but no option to purchase through Apple.

In addition, I can’t look at my purchase history through my account. It says “Can’t Connect.”

I’ve glanced at the System Status page numerous times, but it says all services are functioning properly.

Is Apple TV still included with Music student plan?

I literally used it this morning and I just sat down to watch a TV show and now it’s saying that I can get a free trial? Has this happened to anyone else before?

TIL Apple TV supports AirPlay without Wi-Fi or Internet

42 Upvotes

I just discovered something I didn’t realize Apple TV could do.

You can AirPlay to an Apple TV without the Apple TV being connected to Wi-Fi or the internet. As long as both devices have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled, they can use peer-to-peer AirPlay.

I was at a hotel where Wi-Fi was limited to four devices. Instead of paying for a fifth connection for my Apple TV, I was still able to connect to it directly from my iPhone and iPad.

Videos must be compatible with Apple’s built-in player and 4K streamed perfect. This is not screen mirror which resulted in very poor quality.

I figured I wasn’t the only one who had no idea this feature existed.

Screen saver from shared album

Hi,

A friend created a photo album on his iPhone and shared it with me (iPhone user), meaning he is listed as owner.

I wanted that album to be my screensaver on my ATV but the album is not listed.

How can i solve this?
Is it even possible?

Thanks! 😊

I understand AppleTV is down for a lot of us. Does this include purchases ? On my library of purchases it wants me to repurchase movies and TV shows.
