It’s loving hilarious my homepods are getting extra functionality with the new 4K so that now I can pass my cable tv audio to HomePods via ARC, I can’t think of another Apple product that has gone through such odd past present future implementations

Ordered the new Siri Remote and had a delivery date of June that moved up to next week. Walked into Da Fruit Stand today and picked one up. Can’t wait to try it when I get home! Posted as a reminder that if you need something the day it comes out, check store inventory the morning of and you may not have to wait!

smackfu posted:Surprised no one has mentioned there is finally a new YouTube app. The skip forward and back seems better than the old terrible version, so far. The layout of the browse grid seems a little less dense so not sure about that. I think it’s better overall? Still doesn’t support long press to do things like add to Watch Later like basically every other device.

Well, it does have this going for it: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/21/youtube-4k-6-fps-new-apple-tv-4k/ So, 4K resolution at 60 frames per second playback, but only on the new ATV 4K..

Does Apple or the developer of an app determine what the menu/back button does? Because I want it to just go back to the previous screen, not exit the app completely. Example: I'm in an app for a news network and I start playing a video. I want to leave the video and go pick another, but pressing the menu/back takes me all the way back to the Apple TV home screen. I think this happens in the YouTube app as well.

If ATV 4Kv1 struggles with 4K60 YouTube, then what kind of mess is AV1 playback gonna be. Guess I should temper my expectations for future software decoding. Guess we could figure it out by looking at the phones the chips were used with. kliras fucked around with this message at 16:54 on May 21, 2021 |

I just got in my new Apple TV remote and started messing with it. The first thing I noticed is that the click wheel doesn’t work like a click wheel. I was expecting it to track forward as I spun it clockwise and reverse in counter-clockwise, but it doesn’t. Instead if you spin it, it just goes back and forth. https://streamable.com/ue1zrm Grant DaNasty fucked around with this message at 00:35 on May 22, 2021 |

What's the point of making it look like the click wheel if it doesn't work like the click wheel??

To make sure I'm not crazy I checked Apple's website. It says "use a circular gesture on the outer ring to find just the scene you're looking for".

I'm wondering if it's some weird bug because they definitely showed it working like a click wheel during the event.

Social Animal posted:What's the point of making it look like the click wheel if it doesn't work like the click wheel?? For the jog functionality can the OP try it in something with the standard timeline like some Apple TV+ show? I'm thinking apps will have to be updated to use the wheel...which means it'll probably be useless in a lot of apps for a few weeks/months.

You need to rest your thumb on the circle part when videos are paused, then the timeline icon turns into a circle and you can jog through.

I think I have it figured out. You pause a video and rest your thumb on the outer ring for a second. The jogging feature appears and it works. However I can only get it to work on some streaming services. It works on Apple TV+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, but it doesn’t work on Disney Plus or YouTube. I’ll just keep testing it. Netflix: https://streamable.com/3qpj8p Disney Plus: https://streamable.com/c7djz6 edit: Looks like jogging works on everything but Disney Plus, YouTube, Peacock, and Plex.

Wait what the hell, is the “home” button really the Apple TV app button now?? Every time I push it, it opens the ATV app. It’s like having the Netflix button all over again. Garbage. e: Oh loving A, you can change it in Settings, but it’s still dogshit garbage that the ATV app is the default. gently caress.

Ok, so I've got a pair of Sonos One SLs being Airplayed to by the ATV. All the menu sounds come out of the TV speaker, but movie sounds come out of the Sonos. Super weird. Problem is, the audio on the Sonos is ahead of the video on the screen. I did the wireless audio sync in the ATV settings with my phone, but it sends the tones through the TV speakers and not my Sonos, which is also super weird. On the Sonos site, it says to go to Settings > select group > Home Theatre section > TV Dialog Sync. But this doesn't exist for a pair of One SLs. It appears for my Beam/One/Sub setup downstairs though. Is there really no audio lag adjustment for a Sonos group without a soundbar connected?

The idea was that the TV app would be your hub for all your viewing and you'd just go there to get recommendations and get whooshed right to whatever you wanted to watch. It didn't pan out well especially given that Netflix doesn't hook into it.

Definitely mixed on the new remote. Love the new size and weight but it feels like it’s going to get scratched to poo poo. The scroll wheel aspect is finicky and takes too long to activate so I can’t see myself ever using it - definitely feels like a wasted opportunity. The clicky buttons for scrubbing through YTTV and other streaming apps is such a big improvement, as expected, but it is hard to feel like that alone is worth $60. Also, annoying as hell that you can’t keep two remotes paired. Thought I was getting an extra. The only thing stopping me from using the as-good and arguably better One for All $20 remote is the line of sight requirements. Didn’t think I’d be debating because of how much I hated the old remote, but unfortunately this is just such a minor step for a big cost.

CEC still sucks poo poo. It’s even worse when I moved my old ATV 4K upstairs to my TCL bedroom TV. It doesn’t even bother switching inputs when I mash buttons on the ATV remote. It at least used to do that when hooked up to my Sony X900F. e: I do really like the feel and weight of the new remote though. It’s so much easier to hold and hopefully not lose? Would have been cool if there was a location beep like for the Apple Watch and phone though. Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 06:36 on May 22, 2021 |

Looks like someone is getting that Arc early (both my TVs I have hooked up to a Sonos sound bar so I unfortunately don’t know). I preordered with Costco and it still has not shipped yet. loving rip me. If it doesn’t ship by Tuesday (my next day off) I’ll reserve one at the apple store and cancel it.

Hey thread, just got a new (and my first) Apple TV. It’s pretty cool! Is there a way to change the sound control buttons from controlling my tv’s built in speakers to my separate amp?

Yep! If you have a hdmi-cec receiver connected it should just work. If not, you can program the Apple TV remote to send the same IR signals as your amp. Look in settings under remotes and devices.

Can the power button on the new remote send via IR or is it only via HDMI-CEC?

Biggest negative of the new remote so far: very loud when it gets knocked off the couch arm on to the hardwood floors. The old one had a silicon case to make it usable and that made it very quiet. Wouldn’t be surprised if the aluminum gets dinged up. Also, I wish the power button just turned it off instead of requiring a hold.

Better, because it's a little thicker with a bit more heft, but the d-pad is where you'd expect it with muscle memory from that one or the prior white plastic one
