Mahoning posted:Ok, the new Netflix app sucks. Which isn't exactly Apple's fault since Netflix actually made this app. They basically removed the ability to select specific genres. Unless I'm missing something. If it's the same as the Roku app, you're not missing anything, it's just a bunch of recommendations and top lists.

Kaizoku posted:I will not purchase a new aTV until it at least has feature parity with the aTV3's netflix app for christ sakes That's god damned ridiculous. Yell at Netflix then, it's their app. Seeing as how the new atv just matches the Netflix apps that have been out for existing boxes for years, I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.

I got a plex pass when they had the $129 special a few weeks back. My 2 main reasons were OTA DVR (since my DTV Now sub doesn't have locals or DVR) and the mobile sync feature which is an easy as hell way to get videos on to the iPad for the kids.

Proteus Jones posted:That remote looks like it will have a retina (because why not), display. At a guess I'm thinking there will be an API so the layout of buttons will change depending on app or context. If the Amazon Prime Video app drops on release, this looks like it may displace the Shield TV as my primary video device. That's just a fan mockup, the only thing we have right now is code small code snippets from an unrelated firmware update.

TV tech moves slower than phone tech. This was the update that should have been out 2 years ago. Now Apple can go back to ignoring it for another 3 years and there's nothing new on the horizon right now to force them to update any faster.

CaptainCrunch posted:Following up my own inquiry: I spoke to one of the fine blue polo shirted folks at the Apple Town Square last night and they confirmed that Amazon Prime Video will be an app in the app store. It won't, according to him, be linked to the Apple TV 4K. I think he's correct but there's no way a lowly retail worker knows what's Apple and Amazon's streaming and app plans are more than you or I do. They just read the same rumor blogs that we do.

[quote="“WithoutTheFezOn”" post="“476694161”"] If your model has the silver remote with a click wheel it will be called “Apple TV (3rd gen)” and no the new remote won’t work with it (plus the new remote costs $79). [/quote] Apple dropped the price of the new remote to $59 now, that was nice.

I'm having an issue with Plex on AppleTV. If i'm watching a TV show, the 30-60 seconds drops out. It will start buffering around the 90 seconds left mark for a second which will increase exponentially until about 30-60 seconds left and then the file will just stop. The file plays fine on my Roku boxes, and I can finish the episode by using VLC on my phone and airplay. Anyone else see this before?

dexter6 posted:Does anyone know if Hulu, Netflix or YouTube are 4K yet? “So far, the only third-party app that supports 4K is Netflix, but Apple says Amazon's upcoming Prime Video app will offer it as well. 4K is also coming to the YouTube app soon, and Apple is negotiating with Hulu to enable it eventually. (So far, Hulu only supports 4K on game consoles.)” https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/21/apple-tv-4k-hands-on/ Netflix is also HDR on most of their originals.

The lack of “play from beginning” is baffling to me. We watch a ton of kids show on Netflix, and kids shows get replayed over and over and over again. Every time we open up Ninjago or whatever, all the episodes are half played (since these kids never sit still for a full episode) and we have to pick an episode and manually rewind it to the beginning every time. Every single day we have to do this dance, it’s so dumb.

buglord posted:I use AppleTV to airplay Youtube from my XR. When I used to airplay, I could start the video, leave the app, do other things while it continued to play on the TV. Now, for whatever reason, whether I pull down the notifications bar or the control center, the video stops. If the phone screen turns off, it stops. I have to keep the screen active the entire time to continue the video. Is anyone suddenly having this issue? I have no clue what it can be. I have Youtube Premium and my phone is on iOS 14. Youtube made some aggressive changes recently to break iOS 14's PIP support in app and on web but it shouldn't affect premium subscribers. Wonder if it affected Airplay somehow

That’s gonna depend entirely on how your adblocking software works. If it’s something like pi-hole, it will give you a real-time list of all DNS queries and if anything is blocked. You can then start the video and view the list, see what gets blocked and then whitelist that domain. It’s it’s some in-house implementation on your router it’s gonna get more complicated.
