Works with a 4th gen Apple TV, if that helps. They also make digital audio coax-> Toslink converters if that’s more convenient.

Minidust posted:Should an HDMI audio extractor like this work with an ATV 4K? I got one for my dad and it worked fine with his Chromecast & Roku stick (HDMI switch > audio extractor > toslink > old receiver). I would assume so? There's nothing magic about the signal coming out the ATV. Personally, I have the HDMI go from the ATV to my Dennon (actually all my A/V goes into the Dennon first) and then it has a Video Only HDMI out. Works like a dream.

It's not a big deal either way as an RCA stereo -> 3.5mm cable from the TV seems to work well enough. But the soundbar apparently can be powered on/off over a toslink cable, so that'd be worth going to the trouble for (trying to get the full "wife-proof" setup here where the ATV remote can be used for everything) . Really I should test that out with some other toslink-ready device first, to make sure it works like I think it does...

So LOL why does Tinder have an Apple TV app? I have a friend who discovered that her S/O downloaded Tinder recently because she went to install an app and she found the tinder app had been recently added to the account. Good times.

It's been available almost as long as as the ATV4. Why? I dunno. It lets you swipe on your TV, which I guess lets you get a better view?

Weird issue : I have two AppleTVs in my house (1 4K, 1 regular/recent gen), a Verizon FIOS router, and a Google Mesh Wifi network plugged into the FIOS router. 1. Regular AppleTV has always worked fine with no problems. 2. The 4K TV shits itself when I connect it with the Google Mesh network. It runs fine for a day or so, then the throughput drops to a stupidly low number, nothing loads, and it's pretty much nonfunctional until I switch it back to my Verizon Wifi. Then it works with no problem. Reboots and even a factory reset haven't changed this behavior. The obnoxious thing is that every other device on my home network uses the Google Mesh, so if I want to do Airplay or use my phone as a remote, I have to switch to the other network and it hates doing that because the boosted Google signal is way stronger. I called Apple and they gave me a big shrug in response. Anyone else seen something like this?

You shouldn't be running two networks. Can you turn off/disconnect the Verizon router and just use it as a modem?

Is your FiOS router connected to the Verizon ONT via coax or ethernet? If it's ethernet, you can connect that directly to the Google Mesh router without even using a modem. If it's coax, you can either configure the FiOS router as a MoCA bridge, or you can call Verizon and have them enable the ethernet port on the ONT.

This is more rhetorical than anything, but why in the name of god can’t I say “hey Siri, open Netflix on (my atv name)” into my iOS devices? Through Harmony, Roku and Alexa, I can pretty much pinpoint it down to an actual title. AppleTV, jack squat. Also, can anyone on tvOS 12 see any screensaver locations other than LA, Dubai or Hong Kong?

I am having a problem with my Apple TV 4K that I hope someone knows the answer to, I've looked everywhere. Basically my ATV will just randomly start playing music purchased from iTunes. Like for instance, when a Netflix show ends and you're waiting for the next one to start, and Netflix "releases" it's audio hold on the system briefly, an itunes song will play. A lot of times it happens when I exit an app that was playing audio, or sometimes in the menus when I'm switching around (in an app, between apps, etc). So it's clearly associated with actions of some type. Any ideas? It's driving me loving nuts.

Have you power cycled it? Hell, it might be faster just to reset to factory settings than it is to troubleshoot what's causing it.

Oh yeah, definitely power cycled it a ton, changed all the settings I could, etc I think you're right, it's time to just raze the whole thing down and see if that fixes it. Just worried that won't help because this problem has occurred since I bought the thing. Going to give it a try though, thanks for the suggestion!

VEVO used to have a cool feature where it played a personalized selection of music videos based on the artists you had “liked” from within the app. Kind of like some of the personalized stuff that Spotify and Apple Music do, but with music videos. As far as I can tell that feature is now gone from the ATV app, and a look at VEVO’s website makes it sound like YouTube is absorbing most aspects of Vevo as a separate entity. Does any other app/service offer something similar to what Vevo used to do? YouTube’s own Music tab is a start, but it doesn’t seem to really offer the personalization stuff that I want.

As others have said you don't have to run two networks. If you need to keep the Verizon router around to provide internet to the cable boxes then turn off the wireless radios on the Verizon router and use your Google mesh for wireless. You may have to put it in wireless access point mode or something like that so it's not double routing. I use a second router for wireless in my home for this reason and the wireless on the Verizon router wasn't working that well for me.

Is there a way to price track the apps on the AppleTV app store? I'd like to get the Jackbox games on my AppleTV but I ain't paying full price when they were practically free on the PC a few weeks back. EDIT: Or Steam could just finally launch that embattled Steamlink app without a store attached. That'd solve my problem too.

Probably a fool's errand, but I'm a dinosaur with lots of local music and I'm trying to get iTunes Home Sharing working again. Gonna be lazy and crosspost from Reddit: After a fresh Windows 10 install I'm trying to get iTunes Home Sharing working again. I can confirm the following:
Network troubleshooting usually leads me to port forwarding, so I assume that's the missing step here. I already have static IPs configured for my PC and Apple TV. And the Apple support page says that iTunes music sharing uses TCP port 3689. Now I don't expect people to know the intricacies of my home network, but I'm looking for some general dumbed-down advice here. Should I be forwarding my PC's IP to port 3689? Or do I forward the Apple TV's IP? Or do I forward both? Sorry if it's a dumb question but my port forwarding skills are very rusty. Also wondering if there are any other ports not listed on Apple's support page that I should try messing with. This was a long rambling posts so much thanks to anyone who took the time to read it!

The router has multiple SSIDs (just the default setup of a standard, "5G" and guest networks) but I've made sure all devices are on the same one. You know, now that I mention that I'll try switching from 5G to standard to see if that makes a difference. Just checked and my iPhone isn't seeing the shared library. So yeah, my problem seems strictly limited to the Apple devices.

Sorry to double post but I'll go ahead since it may help someone down the road. I did two things to get Home Sharing working on my Apple TV - the first may not be related but the second definitely is: 1) I switched SSIDs and discovered that one of my networks had been set to "Public". So I switched it to Private (this was called "Allow network discovery" or something like that in older versions of Windows) 2) I turned off Home Sharing in iTunes, then reactivated and signed in. This brought up a prompt asking whether I wanted to authorize this PC (which hadn't happened before during my initial setup, for whatever reason). I chose to Authorize, and whammo, I've got home sharing back. So it seems the key is explicitly authorizing the DEVICE for home sharing, which is a separate thing from other iCloud/Apple ID stuff. And if it doesn't ask, you have to make it ask! Thanks for chiming in, people!
