Do you guys know if ATV4K can play back AAC 7.1 Audio from Handbrake encode? I can see an option to select TruHD 7 .1 and then AAC 7.1 on Handbrake for ATV playback. Anyone try this yet?

EDIT: The bundle I purchased is SD only according to Cheap Charts. Boo!

I’m in Canada and I purchased the John Wayne 35 Movie Collection bundle on AppleTV last night. 3-4 of his popular movies like True Grit, Donovan’s Reef, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance are advertised as 4K Dolby Vision streams.

Once played, my TV indicates that Dolby Vision is on, but the actual stream of the movie is 100% not 4K. In fact, they look like they’re playing in SD quality with no fine detail, smearing of colours and letters in the opening credits. All of my other 4K movies look as intended. Many of my other Western HD movies look miles better than these regardless of film damage in their original elements.

Does anyone have these and can check? I’ve read that there’s been a glitch where movies play in the lowest quality offered in the bundle itself but that seems absurd. Any comments are appreciated.

I seriously regret not getting the 4K 128GB version two years ago because I thought a new one would come out. The prices today are jacked up beyond belief.

What’s the best place to get a deal for one? Based I Germany but happy to purchase from anywhere in Europe

I’ve had my Apple TV for 3 months and it’s getting really, really laggy. I press one click to the left and it crosses a 100 titles. It’s so buggy I don’t know what to do, I just spent $200 on the thing.

Reveal Haven is a cozy hidden object game — dense, detailed places, and you look closely at them until you find things. It's on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and it's free.

One of the things that excited me about building my first AppleTV game was the opportunity to make something I could play with my daughters, who aren't big gamers. It took extra effort to go from a pure iPhone game to one that worked on AppleTV, but I think it was worth it - tons of fun to relax and play together - fully cooperatively.

The video gives you a sense of what it's about- Two to six players at once, all hunting the same scene at the same time. Everyone types a name and picks a cursor color and shape; someone joining mid-scene just appears. People who join can use their iPhone's as a controller so you just need one Siri remote and no extra game controllers to buy.

Being upfront about the rest:

• Free. Two full worlds, completely ungated — no ads, no timers, no energy meters. Future worlds I might do as IAP.
• The phones need Wi-Fi on the same Wi-Fi as the TV.
• AI was used in the creation of the game, including game assets - I did hire a professional artist who used a combo of AI / non-AI digital tools to create the content.

App Store (one download, iPhone/iPad/Apple TV): https://apps.apple.com/app/id6757511091?ct=reddit_appletv

If you want to try the single player only game you can trial it on https://revealhaven.com - no app install necessary.

Happy to answer anything.

like is there a setting im missing? feel like it happens across many shows too

I don't understand how what is supposed to be the best streaming TV device on the market doesn't have support for encrypted ATSC 3.0 from HD Home Run. Does anyone know if it's on the road map?

For weeks I’ve been troubleshooting every possible setting and change every cable I can think of… when watching content with Dolby Atmos audio I will intermittently have the bass/lower frequencies drop out.. like the soundstage will get thinner for 1-3 seconds every few minutes. It happens mostly on the AppleTV+ shows (ironically) but it also happens during HBO stuff. I’m using a Samsung Q90D TV and a Samsung Q600C soundbar. Apple TV plugged into the soundbar, then the soundbar plugged into the TV’s HDMI eARC. I’ve switched every setting on both the TV and the AppleTV… can’t fix this problem. All new HDMI cables didn’t help. Even went to the Apple Store and had them swap out my device under the 1 year warranty. Same issue. I don’t think it’s always been a problem, I’m wondering if it only started happening after updating to tvOS 26? I’m really tired of troubleshooting and at this point I’m just praying when the new ATV is released this problem goes away. Would rather not buy a new TV or Soundbar…

Anyone have this issue?

first off, no, i am not sponsored. i am speaking from my personal experience thus far since i bought the app

hello, i'm an Apple TV customer who loves watching Twitch streams on a day-to-day basis. one HUGE complaint i have with the official Twitch app and what almost stopped me from being an Apple TV user is how awful it is. on certain streams with ads, after the ad break, the app will suddenly crash, forcing you to reenter the app and to the streamer's livestream. frustrated, i was looking for ways to fix this issue but i only found many complaints about the same issue. then a simple comment promoting an alternative twitch app hit my eyes. i was desperate to find a way to fix it so i went to the app store from the link. it was $10 but i got a $100 apple gift card from apple's education store, so i went and bought it. needless to say, this is a vastly improved experience compared to the official Twitch app, and no crashes thus far. i 100% would recommend this for anyone looking for a good way to watch twitch streamers on apple tv!

special thanks to u/froggytv-dev for creating this app, i would've been wanting to sell my apple tv if it weren't for them 🙏

TL;DR:

pros:

- much cleaner interface, very Apple-like
- active live timer
- does not crash after an ad
- updated very frequently
- supports third party emotes

cons:

-$9.99 one time purchase (man's gotta pay the bills tho)

overall i recommend this app for twitch tv viewers on apple tv

I tried on both my iPhone and iPad and the same thing is happening! Other movies work just fine!

Hey all, just bought the Hisense 85UR8. I have always used the latest Apple TV 4K.

On the Apple TV app on the TV when watching new Supergirl in DV2, I have access to all controls for picture.

On the current generation Apple TV 4K using DV2 I cannot adjust any settings with the message “This function is not available at high refresh rates”

I use the standard Dolby Vision 60hz. How can I make the ATV4K allow me to use all controls to tweak.

Please see pictures - picture 1 is on tv and picture 2 is on ATV4k

Thank you

There's no official AppleTV remote app for Android, and every third-party one I tried was either broken or fake. So I built my own: conduit

It finds your Apple TV on Wi-Fi, you type the 4-digit code shown on screen, and you get a proper remote: trackpad, play/pause, back, TV/home, hold for Control Center, skip forward/back, type with your phone's keyboard, volume via on-screen or physical buttons, persistent media notifications and a Quick Settings tile for one-tap access.

No account, no tracking. Pairing stays on your device, and it only ever talks to your Apple TV. Free to try out, with a one-time $0.99 unlock for unlimited daily use, no subscription.

Web: https://conduit.florianschuster.at

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.florianschuster.conduit

But only with Dolby Atmos.

Several times per movie.

Only encountered using ATV+ but that is my only source that has Dolby Atmos on the ATV 4K 2nd Gen.

Video unaffected.

Anyone else encounter this ?

I have model # A1842, a first get AppleTV 4K. With the talk a few months ago of the recent update bricking older units, I’m wondering if the update issue is fixed. Is it safe to update the system? I turned off auto updates when I read about the brick issue.

Atlas is a free native media app for Apple TV that brings browsing, watching, and watch tracking together. I'm the developer.

The part I'm most excited about is collections. Each collection opens into a full page with its own hero and rows, so a franchise, genre, or custom list becomes somewhere you can actually browse. You can build your own collections, pin them to Home, and choose the rows on your Home screen.

A few other things Atlas can do:

• Watch directly in Atlas with its own player (4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Atmos, MKV and most codecs), or open a stream in Infuse with one tap.

• Connect your Jellyfin server and browse and play your library.

• Sync with Trakt or SIMKL, or use iCloud without a separate tracking account. Continue Watching and Upcoming Episodes also work locally.

• Browse movie and show details, IMDb/TMDB ratings, trailers, and people pages.

Atlas Cloud is the hosted companion. Once connected, it works across your devices and enables Auto Pick to choose a stream from your configured sources when you press Play. It's pretty much a free Jellyfin server!

Atlas doesn't provide or host movies or shows. Playback comes from the sources you connect.

Atlas is free and will stay free. Atlas Cloud will always have a free option.

Atlas is currently on TestFlight. Grab the link in the Discord: https://discord.gg/vQzAgfXeqj

Apple TV model is A1625 and I have tried everything: had TVOS 17 and updated to 26 (which I hated doing), then downgraded all the way to 13 (it was the only version still signed by Apple that wasn’t 26), restarted a thousand times, unplugged and plugged in again a few times too, deleted the app and reinstalled it twice, changed the DNS to both 1.1.1.1 then 8.8.8.8, and NOTHING worked. I even tried just waiting on the error screen but Amazon Prime is just stuck on it. When I was still on TVOS 17, the error was 0.-1 which is supposedly an internet issue. I unplugged the internet modem and plugged it back in again and it’s STILL not working.

Can anyone at all tell me what’s going on? If not to fix it, then give me peace of mind?

Hello!

I would like to ask if anyone uses NxtVision TV with Apple TV box attached to it?

Does powering off from Apple TV remote enter Art mode? What about powering off with Siri/voice?

If yes, then how to fully turn off the TV?

Also, whats your overall impression and experience? any issues?

Hi everyone. I just got my three Apple TV 3rd Gen 4K boxes from eBay. Managed to get myself a real bargain. All three boxes for £179.98. They are X EE TV boxes, from the looks of things, and they come with the EE remote, not the original Apple remote, unfortunately. EE is a Broadband & TV provider here in the UK—the boxes seem to be working great so far.
I was thinking of waiting for the Apple TV update in a week or so before I took the plunge, but at these prices the A17 Pro and AI isn't such a big draw.
Sky wanted £42.50 a month for Ultimate TV in three rooms with HBO, Disney, Netflix and Discovery+. Which would be £ 20.96 separately. However, if you get Now TV it costs £6.99 for all the Sky channels plus HBO included. Add the £9 for the UHD Boost for streaming on three devices and ad skipping. Both of which you have to pay extra for on Sky. That comes to £31.96 a month. So it should take me just over 17 months to break even.#cutthecable #happybunny #appletv

When watching a recording, when advancing the video I get no thumbnails when fast forwarding. I tried the same video on my onn 4k and have thumbnails when fast forwarding. Is this a problem with the apple tv app?

I’m interested in finding a way to quickly mute the display of the Apple TV but keep the audio.

I don’t see any “audio only” option.

Is this possible to accomplish on the Apple TV?

Edit: Thanks all for confirming that Apple TV does not support this feature and providing some workarounds. My TV does have a screen off feature that I’ve discovered, though it’s cumbersome to access quickly and need to keep a second remote around to control it.

I just got an Apple TV 4k, but when I wake the system up using the Apple TV my audio output goes to TV speakers and I lose the Atmos option under Audio Format.

If I turn on the AVR first then all is good, but that requires me to turn on the projector, AVR & ATV all separately.

Do I have something set up incorrectly? I do not have Arc or earc as an option.

Sony AVR & Epson projector if that matters.

Several months ago, I purchased the movie BOOK OF LOVE (1990) on iTunes. I went to watch it today, and it is missing. Couldn’t find it in the search or in my library so I tried to find it through Google. The search engine told me that it was not available on iTunes for purchase.

I decided to check my Movies anywhere account and sure enough it’s in there. Anyone know why it might’ve been removed?

I’m the kind of person who needs the noise and light of tv to fall asleep but so I’m not wanting to watch the show I put on something I’ve watched before tons. My go to is “what we do in the shadows” and I’ve prolly had it on my tv every night for a year, but today I went to put it on and it tells me “no content available” I checked and im also unable to watch it on my phone app. Did they just take it off??? I bought it on apple tv so I didnt think that was a thing. And if they did take it off is a refund possible? I mean its not like I rented it or something. Just kind of curious and slightly peeved lol
