    Anyone else having HBO Max problems? (Apple TV 4K)

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 05:40 AM PST

    For the last few weeks when I play HBO Max, if I pause or stop or fast forward or rewind or a new episode starts, I get stuck in an endless loop of "Oops! Something went wrong" and "Can't connect to HBO Max". If I hit OK 15 - 20 times it usually comes back.

    Can someone tell me if the popular apps (Netflix, Prime, Disney +) allow movie/tv downloads to the Apple TV?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 12:02 PM PST

    We don't have the fastest internet. So if we know what were gonna watch on movie night we'd like to download it in full in advance so we don't have to risk periodic buffering and a grainy video. It would also be nice to have a few backup shows downloaded to the device because sometimes the internet goes down.

    Do you feel the Apple TV 4K is overpriced?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 10:01 AM PST

    I just bought one for $180.00 and I must say IPTV has been really good. I'm wondering though if I could get a similar experience on a Fire TV cube and save some cash.

    Photos app question

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 09:32 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I am planning to get an Apple TV soon, but I have a small concern that I haven't found any precise answer for.

    The Apple TV has a Photos app that syncs with iCloud. This is great, but I am a little concerned about privacy. Does that mean that if I link my TV to my Apple ID, everybody in the house gets to see all my personal photos in one click? (I have nothing to hide, but I have nothing to show either).

    I just wanted to know if there is a way to restrict access to the Photos app, or at least prevent it from pulling media from my iCloud account?

    Thanks ahead of time for your help!

    My boyfriend’s Apple TV suddenly stopped working like it should

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 11:43 AM PST

    I was airplaying Disney plus on his Apple TV when it stopped playing. I couldn't get it to start again so I restarted everything.

    The screen kept flashing and went black. I couldn't do anything and when I tried to turn it off it kept going back like I just turned it on.

    I turned it off and removed the cables and that fixed one problem, but now the sound is really weird. There is a static in the background and the swiping sound is changed.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it. I don't know what else to try and I want to fix it before he wakes up.

    Does Apple TV 4K have AV Sync feature to advance audio signal (like Fire TV's Lip Sync Tuning feature)?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 08:50 AM PST

    I have a Sonos Playbar, connected to an LG OLED TV via optical cable. LG TV creates a delay when it's outputting audio to optical in Dolby Digital, so audio is always behind video in my set up. This can't be fixed by Sonos, because Sonos isn't receiving the audio signal quickly enough.

    Thankfully, my Fire TV 4K stick has a AV Sync Tuning feature, where I can set Fire TV to send audio signal ahead of video signal, to offset the audio delay my TV introduces.

    I want to buy an Apple TV 4K. Does Apple TV have a feature like Fire TV's AV Sync Tuning, where you can manually set Apple TV to send audio signal ahead of video signal? (using HDMI)

    Has anyone tried "The Office" on Netflix with Spatial Audio? The sound is horrible unfortunately, will this be the case for all shows that are not atmos native?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 01:46 PM PST

    Native atmos sounds good, I like it.

    However I want that spatial audio (head tracking) feature to work on all my shows. The problem is, for some shows it sounds really bad, a lot of echo, which ruins the experience.

    To try it out yourself, watch the very beginning of S4: Episode 10 "The Chair Model". When the cars are driving, it sounds horrible :(

    Sending audio to iPhone?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 08:58 AM PST

    I'm contemplating replacing my Roku Ultra with an Apple TV. Will the Apple device allow you to watch video on the connected TV with audio sent to an iPhone? Asking because I already have an iPhone with wired headphones and don't want to purchase airpods or something equivalent.

    Siri keeps telling me (sorry somthings gone wrong can you try again)

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 06:47 PM PST

    Hey everyone ,

    All of a sudden Siri has stopped working and I get this error. The odd time it does work but 99% doesn't.

    I recently upgraded my tv , not sure if they would affect this? I changed hdmi cables, turns Siri on and off.

    Ensure what else to do, using 4K 1st gen and remote

    Why do spatial audio mixes sound different on AppleTV vs iOS devices?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 07:57 AM PST

    Hello!

    I love my Air Pod Max's and spatial audio sounds incredible when watching on my iPad Pro. I was thrilled to see spatial audio come to tvOS, but in my experience the mix has been significantly different (worse IMO) when I pair my APM with my Apple TV 4K.

    The mix coming from the TV sounds "tinny", as if there is way too much reverb applied to the mix to make the mix sound "bigger." The net result is worse lows and highs when compared to my iPad, and dialogue is unbearably echo-y which has led me to switch off spatial audio in most cases.

    Hoping this is just a setting I can tweak somewhere, and would love to know if anyone else has noticed this.

    How to show playlist artwork on Apple TV 4K?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 05:40 AM PST

    How to show playlist artwork on Apple TV 4K?

    iTunes Version 12.12.2.2 on Windows 10, and an Apple TV 4K 2021 with OS 15.1.1

    I have created a film playlist with a custom artwork, but how do I get it to show in the Apple TV? When I go to the Computers > Shared computer > Films > Playlists in the Apple TV all I see is the generic cogwheel, and not the 600x600px JPG image I set as its cover art.

    Subscription Free with new iPhone

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 01:39 AM PST

    Excuse my extreme ignorance, but am I correct in saying that Apple TV costs $7.99 a month after my free period is over, but I still need to pay another $29.99 to watch The Many Saints of Newark for example??

    Is this because it is new?

    Thanks

    Frequent lack of audio with new Samsung Frame TV

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 06:51 PM PST

    Good evening,

    I've had an Apple TV for many years, but just recently upgraded to a new 4K Samsung Frame TV a few days ago.

    Since we've gotten it, we have had frequent (maybe a dozen times so far) where playing an episode or even resuming from a pause will cause there to be no audio. This has happened in Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu.

    I haven't found a cure, though usually if I either stop the show or sometimes force close the app we're in, the audio will work when we resume.

    I have no accessories plugged in nor connected. It's an HDMI connection straight from the Apple TV to the Frame TV. No external speakers or Bluetooth anything.

    Has anyone seen this? Am I bumping some sort of button? Is there a setting I have wrong somewhere?

    Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

    Long Press not working since TVOS 15

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:56 PM PST

    Ever since TVOS 15 was released I've had issues with long pressing. Anytime I want to hold on an episode to mark it as watched or to open something to get more info it does not work. Long pressing simply makes the cursor move up as if I'm simply swiping up whenever I long press. Is this a common issue for anyone else? I have no idea how to fix this.

    I am truly perplexed by what Apple TV+ offers.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:32 PM PST

    I was scrolling through my subscriptions today cancelling the ones that I don't use when I saw that I have subscribed to Apple TV+. So, I decided to jump into the app to see what it was all about. What I found really confused me. It was an array of other subscription services I have (Disney+ for example) that wanted to open another app when I clicked on it? Also, there was an NBA game on I tried to watch that also did the same thing. I also noticed you have to subscribe to channels individually (such as paramount for example.) What in the world is this? What is the point of having an Apple TV+ subscription if I can't even watch anything with it? For reference, I was on the iPhone app. Side note: I am really not trying to complain, just trying to figure out what the benefit of a subscription is.

    PITA setup for a non apple user

    Posted: 04 Dec 2021 08:19 AM PST

    I have no apple devices except for this new appletv 4k. So to be able to download apps from the app store I have to create an Apple id. No problem. I did that and then when I sign in on the device it says I must verify the account in settings which then also says I must have an itunes account. To create an itunes account I must install itunes on my pc. Thats ridiculous. Why can't the damn itunes web page let me create the account without installing it? So many hoops.

    Glitching DualShock only on AppleTV

    Posted: 03 Dec 2021 01:02 PM PST

    Is anyone else experiencing some serious glitching issues with their controller on the Apple TV? While gaming, I'm finding my character randomly running, not responding to some buttons, or not responding to the analogue sticks.

    It is an intermittent issue. But sometimes it becomes quite frustrating to play.

    At first I thought it was my controller, but it works perfectly on the MacBook.

    If anyone else found a fix, I'd love to know. Thank you

    Watching HBOmax on Apple TV, I sure have a problem figuring out what episodes of a series we’ve already watched.
