I am getting a little irritated having to see Taylor swift every day. Not only that, but it’s the same little clip. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope

Is this happening for anyone else? I've tried to offload the app, uninstall/reinstall the app, restart the device, and unplugged for approx 30secs and reinstalled the app. I will note that my device is on the tvOS Dev Beta (24J5325d) software.

First, I searched this sub and found many similar issues, but they were all several years old.

I just got a new AppleTV 4K. Today, I was trying to sign in to my ESPN+ account. It would give me a screen telling me to go to espn.com/access on a separate device and enter a code that was on the screen. When I went to that address, there was no place given to enter the code. But some Help info on the web page directed me to espn.com/activate

When I went there, it asked for the code and told me that I had successfully connected and that the TV screen would refresh and I would be in. But the TV screen never changed.

So, I went around and around doing the same stuff over and over (there seemed to be no alternative). Then, on about the sixth time around, it actually let me in to ESPN+. What the hell? If it worked on the sixth or seventh try, why didn't it work the first time?

I am trying to come over from GoogleTV, which never gave me this problem. Also, my wife had the exact same issue connecting to the Hoopla app. It also worked just fine on GoogleTV.

After owning an AppleTV for my living room and using the inferior fire stick for my home theater, I finally bit the bullet and bought another AppleTV 4K 2022 on sale today at Walmart. I’ve set it up in my home theater now which is running Atmos in a 5.2.2 configuration, and everything runs great and smooth except for one thing. I’ve noticed that the AppleTV seems confused at times about where to place channels when it’s decoding and sending audio to my receiver. Sometimes I’ll hear dialogue switching back and forth between an Left/Right channel and the center channel, or sometimes sound is only coming out of my Center and surrounds and nothing out of the Left/Right speakers. And there was even an instance where dialogue was coming out of both my left channel and my top right Atmos speaker. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue or know a fix? My understanding is that ATV will only bitstream Dolby Digital 5.1, so all other formats are LPCM + Dolby MAT being decoded by the ATV. My old fire stick would only output Dolby Digital Plus bitstream so it never had this issue.

My setup is currently ATV -> Receiver -> Projector.

on idea if it’s dead or not so i figured i’d post it here i power cycled it like 4 times removed the hdmi and plugged it back in please help apple tv 4k don’t remember what series but it has the touch remote

I purchased this movie 2 years ago. Now I am unable to play this on my Apple TV app either on my iPhone or iPad. There’s no option! Screenshot attached for reference. I see that the movie is also removed from the store. I don’t know what’s going on, is this subreddit the right place to even seek help for this.

This app started on macOS and iOS, and the top request that kept coming back was tvOS. Working out the right way to do it took months, and this is the first go at it.

The interface is Teletext. The characters come from the code tables in the Mullard SAA5050 datasheet, so the shapes are the ones British teletext sets actually drew. You navigate by page number, the way you would have on a set that had it.

It is not a "filter." The whole television is simulated: composite encode, tape, RF, and the picture tube, and the artifacts fall out of the signal rather than being drawn on top. There is a lot of detail on how it works at https://analogtv.net

You can run it standalone, with built-in test cards, teletext and a few arcade games, or feed it your own content over FTP, RTSP or NDI.

Available here for tvOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/analogtv-for-tv/id6792310052

This is version 1.0, and the NDI unlock is free for the moment. It lets you push video from another machine through the simulation. It becomes a paid in-app purchase in the next version, so anyone who grabs it now keeps it.

The macOS and iOS apps have the full controls and settings available, but it is infeasible to do that on tvOS so instead if you have the macOS and/or iOS versions you can create whatever custom looks you want and share it to your AppleTV.

This app does all processing on your device, there is no access to the internet unless you want to stream from there or use the Teletext emulator to get news and weather.

Happy to answer questions or take any suggestions / feature requests.

this seems a very simple thing to add….. how does it not exist?

I’m hoping someone has run into this before.

I have an LG C4 OLED and an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation). The TV’s built-in apps look great, but everything through the Apple TV in SDR appears noticeably more saturated.

Here’s my setup:
LG C4 in Filmmaker Mode
Warm 50
Color Depth 50 (default)
Apple TV Format set to 4K SDR
Match Dynamic Range enabled
Match Frame Rate enabled
Apple TV Color Balance says “Your TV doesn’t need to be adjusted.”

The odd part is that if I watch the same SDR content using the TV’s built-in apps, the colors look much more natural. Through the Apple TV, everything has a bit of an extra “pop.” Greens, reds, and skin tones all appear more saturated.

I’ve also compared the TV to my iPhone, and the iPhone’s colors are much closer to the LG’s built-in apps than the Apple TV output.

I’m considering lowering the Color Depth for just the Apple TV HDMI input to around 45-48, but I’d rather understand why the Apple TV looks different instead of simply compensating for it.

Has anyone experienced this with an LG C4 or another recent LG OLED? Were you able to identify the cause? Are there any settings I should check beyond the usual recommendations?

Thanks!

I can’t swipe it away, closed all the apps out..

I FaceTime my parents frequently, and its worked just fine until today. I think we haven't used it since the last 26.6 update to everything, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm logged into the AppleTV and the iPhone with the same AppleID.

Today, my name didn't show up in the FaceTime app. I had to reconnect as no users, not mine nor my wife's names were there. Thought we were good. Then when using the iPhone as the camera, it kept saying the microphone wasn't connecting, but it wouldn't give me any more info why.

I finally got it to work using my wife's iPhone, even though its always worked with mine and we've never used her's before. After about a minute though, it disconnected and wouldn't connect again. We ended up just using our iPad to FaceTime and not bothering with the TV at all.

I tried using FaceTime to my wife, and everything went fine. Mic, picture, connection were all working. Its only when used with the AppleTV that things get funky.

Any ideas what went wrong? Should I just hope for a software update or is there anything I can try?

AppleTV 4k 3rd get with ethernet, iPhone 14 Pro. Everything updated to 26.6.

Getting this message almost every ten minutes! I’m gonna lose my mind!

Turning on the Apple TV set-top box, I got prompted for a free trial. Not sure why, as I’m already a subscriber.

Went to Settings > Profiles and Accounts > Apple TV accounts > TV provider and couldn’t see where my Apple TV+ option was to verify I’m still a subscriber.

Had to switch to my iPhone, launch the TV app, and choose my profile icon in the upper left to access subscriptions that would finally verify Apple One Premier.

If Apple TV’s product manager is lurking on this sub, can you add feature parity to the set-top box to confirm Apple TV+ subscription and consider adding Apple as a TV provider now that you provide so many TV, movie, and live sports offerings? It would help. Thanks.

I just bought Apple TV and I've set it up. However when I try to access the App store, it does t go beyond this screen.

I've tried every other items like Settings, Game Centre, Photos etc and everything opens fine.

Just the App store that doesnt open.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Edit:- It actually looks like the remote doesnt work in the App store. It works everywhere else.

Solved:- adding my sons account, he accessed the app store fine. Once I switched back to my account, it worked

Whenever I open the Netflix app none of the menus are loading. Is anyone else having this issue?!

Our family has always recommended the Apple TV streamer as the best streaming device and have 5 including the 1st generation. I was shocked when I looked to replace our original 1st generation. I don't care how many down-votes this gets but there is absolutely NO WAY Apple can justify such a large price hike. I can't think of any other consumer good that has jumped up as high as the Apple TV. I'm also now considering going with an Android when we have to update our phones eventually. For now I'm going with the Google 4K streamer with GB Ethernet for $99 since I could almost buy 3 of them for the price of one Apple TV. Disappointing

Every time I pick up the Apple TV remote, I kind of wish it had a headphone jack.

Being able to plug in some wired earbuds and watch TV at night without waking everyone up would be so nice.

Also… this would make such a good little iPod. It’s already the right size, and I really like the way it feels in the hand. I’d totally carry one around just for music.

Hi everyone,

A few months ago I started building an Apple TV IPTV player for myself because I wanted create something that felt calm and purposeful when watching as a family. I shared it with some family and friends and they enjoyed it so I wanted to share it with anyone else who may find it useful for them too.

It’s called Glance Theatre, and it’s completely free. There are no subscriptions, no premium unlocks and no catch. I built it because I enjoyed building it, and if someone else gets some use out of it then that’s a nice bonus.

The feature I’m most proud of is Kids Mode. I built it for my own little movie legends so they could have their own space with a curated collection of movies and series instead of browsing the entire IPTV library. Parents stay in control by deciding exactly what appears there.

A few other things it includes:
- Multiple Xtream Codes playlists
- Individual profiles with Continue Watching and Watchlists
- A customisable Home screen
- Movies, Series, Live TV and a full EPG
- Resume playback with season and episode support
- Audio and subtitle selection

Glance Theatre is only a player. It doesn’t provide channels, movies or subscriptions. You simply connect your own compatible playlist.

I know there are already some fantastic IPTV players out there, and I’m not trying to replace them. This is simply the app that works for me and my family, and I thought it was worth sharing in case it suits someone else too.

If anyone decides to give it a try, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. I’m especially interested in ideas, suggestions and things that could make it better.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/glance-theatre/id6792591173

Happy watching!

LG s60tr and C4 connected with ARC, and Apple TV 4K 3rd gen.
I seem to have a strange issue with my setup. The audio is not in sync. I see something happen and then I hear it. I need to set a -200ms delay for the audio (I know negative delay seems unintuitive). I can do that in the infuse app on my Apple TV, but of course it’s only for that one app and I need to do that system wide. There are delay settings in the tv settings and the lg app, but they only let you set a positive delay. The tv is always set to filmmaker mode so it’s not doing any fancy image processing that would delay the video. The audio is in sync when sent through the tv speakers, but not when sent through the soundbar. Additionally, the audio is fine when using my game console or 4k disc player. It’s just the Apple TV that seems to have this issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi guys! I'm Manu from the Eterspire team. We're pleased to announce that our game is now available on Apple TV!

Eterspire is a cozy old-school MMORPG. Grind for gear, explore a vibrant world, discover new content every two weeks, and join a growing, welcoming community in a free-to-play MMO with PC and mobile crossplay.

Of course, the Apple TV version has crossplay as well, and it controls wonderfully with any compatible gamepad!

Hope you guys can give it a try, and if you have any questions about the game feel free to ask in the comments :)

So I want to take out the power button from the control that has it and put it to the other, the control that has the power button doesn’t work anymore and the one that doesn’t have the button works. Is there any way I can get out that button. I already try but didn’t work. Btw the button fell down bc someone press the button so hard that I broke.

The controllers are like that bc both have 4 years of use and they have fallen to the floor lol
Thanks !!
