I have gotten random errors and buffering in just about every app so far despite my good connection; maybe once or twice a day on average. Could be a lower-level problem. OTOH it hasn't happened to me in SimpleX yet. I will test that.

Man I need to put a sticker on this remote. Half the time in a dim room I have it upside down. The other 25% of the time I graze the scrubber trying to pause/play/resume. The last 25% of the time I long press the home button to sleep it and when clicking on sleep it cycles down to cancel. What I'm saying is it's loving sensitive for a remote that looks the same no matter how you grab it...

Anyone had issues with WiFi on the new ATV4? A couple times in the last few days it's not been able to see my (or any) wifi networks and required a restart.

So my ATV(4) is connected via HDMI to my TV. My TV is connected to my (not very amazing but totally competent) Onkyo receiver. I *think* so far I've only noticed my front channels making sounds. Do I need to set my ATV up with certain settings to get 5.1? Now that I'm asking this I'm doubting myself if I tested it with a movie or just tv shows... [Ed] this is about the third time in as many weeks now that I have come down to find my ATV4 unresponsive to the Internet despite being connected to wifi. Have to reboot and do a bunch of bullshit and hope it decides to play nice. Feenix fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Nov 21, 2015 |

I'm mostly using Plex and Simplex. I'll double check on whether my tv sends 5.1. It should, it's only like 3 years old... Panasonic Viera Gt50 55 inch. Thanks for the info!

Endless Mike posted:I do hope it will give you a warning when it's running low. It gives you an on screen pop up when it connects, I don't see why that sort of UX wouldn't also be how it told you "Hey, battery is low". Especially since OS X does the same type of thing with Mice and Keyboards.

I tell you, either my Network has mysteriously gone to poo poo (randomly) or the ATV4 has some spooky "WTF"levels of FUBAR with it's wifi. I was streaming The Polar Express all day no problem. Tried to watch a trailer in Apple Trailers an hour later, no dice. Checked Speediest App on ATV4 and I get .36 down. I test again 5 minutes later... 14 down. All is good again. It's like that sporadically almost every night. My ATV3 never ONCE had a spot of trouble. (Located in the same spot, no less...)

I'm debating taking my ATV4 back. Ideally for a replacement but maybe just for good. I love the ducking thing but it buffers and locks up like a bitch and my ATV3 never did. I did a factory restore to no avail.

Kilometers Davis posted:It really shouldn't do that, so at least try a replacement to check if the ATV4 just doesn't like your internet or something. Mine has been in use for at least 7-8 hours a day since launch and it has never crashed, buffered abnormally, froze, anything like that. Yeah and I'm finding some other folks on macrumors forums saying the same... But not so many people that it seems to be a pandemic.

On my ATV3 that certificate way of using Plex had a setting where you could basically say "don't show me synopsis unless I've seen the ep already." The official TVOS ATV4 Plex app *seems* to have none of that... Unless I'm missing something? Do tell...

I cope just fine but the more I use the remote the more I feel like it is bad. Long press the screen button for sleep, "Sleep, Cancel" comes up. I press the clicky to confirm sleep, it slides to cancel. poo poo like that. Just super annoying at times.

Thwomp posted:I can only speak to the free Star Wars level in Disney Infinity but that plays really nicely. Oh yeah I mean I think SOME do. But others (faster paced games) do not. I often wonder if there is just some negligence on porting on the behalf of the developer or if it's "just supposed to work" but somehow the ATV just doesn't have the balls that the newer iOS devices to. Not that these are good games, but the examples I know of offhand are Asphalt 8 and that game that is like Race the Sun. I remember SIGNIFICANT hitching and otherwise non-smoothness. Simpler games or more slow-paced games seem to work a bit better. It's a little disconcerting, though...

I want to use Home(kit) automation with my Hue lights and such. In order to schedule anything, my ATV4 needs to be involved. I have 2FA set up. Supposedly in My Apple TV's settings under icloud should now have an entry for HomeKit but I don't see it... Anyone know what's up??

I'm very disappointed at how non-working the automation-via-Apple TV as a hub is. Lots of people complaining about it. The proposed "fixes" haven't really worked out. I can set up scheduled automations, but they don't actually engage when the time is right...

Kenderama posted:Can you give some examples? For instance my Hue lights (the porch one anyways) turn on at Sunset and off at Sunrise like clockwork. I just tried every light in my house. One by one, scheduled via Home's Automation tab. Not a single one responded. Here's how wonky it's being... I sign out of iCloud on ATV. Sign in, Home tab in accounts is not there. Eventually shows up. Once it does, my Automation screens on my iPad and my iPhone 7+ become active (no longer a static info screen.) I set up my first automation: turn on Kitchen Counter hue light at 3:45pm. All settings are good. Make sure it's set to on, every day, etc... Wait for 3:45... nothing happens. (Same for every light except once or twice I got a random light to turn on via automation... but couldn't reproduce it. ** in regular Home (not Automations) I have full control over every Hue light. Works great there. Just not able to automate anything. Hope that was at least sort of clear.

My iPhone and iPad are on that AEBS's Wifi. Yeah it's confounding as poo poo...

From a performance standpoint is the Apple TV 4 weak in terms of its components when it comes to gaming? Every single game I've ever played on the Apple TV ranges from "this is worse than an iPhone or iPad in terms of performance" to "Holy poo poo this is a stuttering broken mess!" Horizon Chase is the latest. It stutters and jitters, and it even just freezes up and stops responding to any input forcing a force-quit.

I don't really recall ANY iPhone games performing this lovely on any iPhones in the last 5 years. But every Apple TV game feels like a lovely subpar port. Like the ATV4 just can't keep up.
