When it says “press (the home button) to connect to my AirPods”, is that supposed to be a shortcut, or just a reminder of the easier way to connect them?

If you hold down the home button is opens a side window that lets you do things like sleep the device or connect to your airpods or homepod.

Is the Dolby vision setting new? Any reason to have it on? I’ve used match frame rate and such with 4K SDR set. I have an LG BX, which is the model below the CX. I think the CX got a Dolby vision update, but not the BX. So…guessing it doesn’t matter Would it matter otherwise, though? Guessing the content would have to have it, plus your device must be capable

I'm having this weird thing where HBO Max always starts everything with the subtitles on and no amount of changing my default language or settings in HBO or the TVOS settings seems to do anything about it. Has anyone else seen this?

I did some google work when it first popped up and no one was talking about it so I just assumed it was a weird bug but it hasn’t gone away.

HBO is the same people who pushed an update that broke all controls during playback so this isn’t shocking but man hire some QA.

Well they’re supposed to be launching a completely new app soon. After they got roasted on social media and the real media, they decided to toss the entire app and start from scratch. I think they said as early as December? But who knows.

Really, a new app? Funny -- in the Nordics we all just transitioned from HBO Nordic (which had its own app) to HBO Max, so we are only now starting to use the HBO Max app. And it is sooo much better than the old Nordic app.

They're just supposed to be re-writing it from the ground up.

Which probably means copy/pasting 98% of the code base and changing a couple UI elements.

I got an Apple TV and some HomePod Minis to simplify my setup but so far it’s not been nearly as “Just Works” as I’d hoped. My biggest issue is with the HomePods, in a stereo pair and used as the default output of the Apple TV, so I don’t really know if the problem lies with the Apple TV or the HomePods. They’re really bloody unreliable. The past couple days the volume control on them has been acting up, changing the volume using the remote displays the little bar going up and down, but the sound coming out of the HomePods doesn’t change. Restarting the Apple TV fixed it. Today, they went one further and the volume of each HomePod was independent! The remote changed the volume of one of them, but the other could only be changed by pressing the buttons on the top of it. After some messing about, turning them both up and down, trying to get them at the same “level” by counting taps, they got it together, only to go independent again 10 minutes later. As an AirPlay target, it’s been a pain in the neck. When used for just audio from my M1 MBA, the audio can be a jittery mess, or it can be OK. My partner can’t AirPlay Audible to them at all from her phone. It seems OK, it connects and continues to “play”, but nothing actually comes out of the HomePods. Today, I tried to AirPlay from Apple Music on my phone and it came out of just one speaker. Is this typical? I replaced my old HiFi speakers + raspberry pi with shairport-sync to get away from this sort of fuckery!

Not typical for me. Maybe a WiFi issue? I have used my OG HomePods with an Apple TV since iOS 14 or whenever you could set them as default

I have the exact same experience. When the sound works they sound great but often they can barely get through a song, to the point of non-usability.

My Siri v2 remote has totally bugged out. It keeps sending a volume down IR command to my tv. It’s not currently configured to do this (I.e the option for controlling the tv via IR is disabled in settings) It’s not a physical problem with the button, as pressing the volume down button changes the volume via hdmi-cec correctly. Resetting and re-pairing the remote didn’t help or stop it. For now I’ve put it in a different room until it’s battery dies. I’m pretty stumped at why this would happen…. Anyone seen something similar?

I just had to disable the volume control in the settings and go back to using the AV remote. No idea why it did it and there wasn’t any damage to the buttons. I also use headphones with my ATV and it doesn’t do it with them.

Is there any logical reason that auto racing isn’t available as a sport they you can follow? They have stuff like college soccer in there but no F1 or NASCAR.

I’m trying to make my screensaver more Christmas-ey. Is there a way I can get an Apple TV loop of a fireplace on the screensaver? Right now I use SiriusXM or Plex to play holiday music so what immediately comes to mind is adding a video to one folder on Photos. But videos don’t auto play in the screensaver.

I wish Apple TV understood the concept that a show or movie might be on different platforms, like Hulu and Peacock, and if I pay for only one, that’s always the one I want.

I believe it uses a standard IEC C7 ("figure 8") cable, so replacement longer cables are readily available and inexpensive. But best to double-check that if you need to get one.

Weird poo poo happens but I'm not sure how your jacket could have done all that accidentally. I would put the watch in DND mode and theater mode. That will prevent wake on raise and all that stuff.
