    I've lost 4K Dolby Vision

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 09:21 PM PST

    so, i just moved and i reconnected my home theater setup and my apple tv (newest gen) now refuses to give me a 4K dolby vision option - the highest format under 'video and audio' is now 4K HDR. (1080p dolby vision is available.)

    everything is hooked up exactly as it was in my old apartment, with the same cables. i even tried a different HDMI cable to see if somehow the one i was using lost the ability to transmit 4K dolby in the move (eye roll).

    my tv - a 4-year-old LG OLED - will activate 4K dolby vision if i use its smart tv stuff, so i don't think the tv is the issue.

    i'm honestly stumped! i've restarted the box a couple times; the only thing i haven't tried is a full reset.

    basically...help lol

    Your experience with Apple TV 4K with 3rd party wireless headphones?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 02:09 PM PST

    Hey fellow redditors, i always enjoy watching movies/TV shows using headphones with a Macbook, since l live away from home in small apartment, soundbar + TV wouldn't be optimal I don't want to disturb neighbours, plus using headphones is more immersive imho.

    Since i discovered i could use wireless headphones paired with tv i was blown away i mean its a dream for me, i found a deal for the sony WH1000XM4, half the price of Airpod MAX!

    • I'm asking if it's woth getting Airpod Max because of spatial audio alone?

    • How's your experience with the XM4 with movies and TV shows?

    Note: most of my use would be at home.

    New to Apple TV - A couple of questions….

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 07:01 PM PST

    Hi - we are switching over from Fire TV to Apple TV and I have a couple of questions. We are in the US and we enjoy watching the BBC iPlayer and the hayu app. I am able to access the services with Nord VPN on the fire TV but I know I cannot install that on the Apple TV. Does anyone have any advice? I see from Nord VPN that I might be able to use a smart DNS but I have no experience with this…(but I am willing to learn).

    First, is there any way to install the apps on the Apple TV? I have seen other posts about setting up another account maybe? Second, does anyone have experience with Nord VPN and Apple TV? I have an Xfinity gateway and when I attempted to activate the Smart DNS on my Nord account per instructions it wouldn't let me because it is connected to IPv6? Is there a workaround or should I consider another VPN service? Would screen mirroring be a better option or will that result in a picture quality issue?

    Sorry for all of the questions. We noticed instantly that the Apple TV seems much more of a smoother experience than the fire TV and we are happy with it so far but having the Nord VPN app directly on the fire TV did make it a lot easier to access all of the programming we like from the UK. I guess we can keep the fire tv for those purposes but really hoping there might be a workaround so we can use one device and be done with it.

    Your expertise it greatly appreciated!

    AirPods Pro connect/disconnect randomly on Apple TV

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 04:13 PM PST

    Anyone else having issues with AirPods Pro or just any AirPods showing to connect and disconnect on screen with Apple TV 4K edition while the AirPods are in the case and have been for hours? Is there a fix?

    I can't seem to think why this has yet to be intergraded into tvOS. I tend to explore what to watch next towards the end and I imagine it would be super useful for other scenarios too.

    AppleTV4k frozen on this screen. Remote will not work, except to force a reboot. But comes right back too this screen.

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 03:44 PM PST

    Perhaps the integration of Sports into the TV app will be extended outside of us.

    Your connection to this server is not fast enough.

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 03:17 PM PST

    Hi I have a plex server set up at home the connection is hardwired with bt full fibre 900mbps/100mbps

    I am accessing the plex server remotely in the same country using Apple TV 4K gen 2 via WiFi 5ghz and gets a stable 60-70mbps I'm extremely close to the router.

    I have enabled on the server settings for maximum quality to be used remotely and also in the player on the Apple TV I have tried the new and old player. The old player only transcodes. I keep getting the error your connection is not fast enough for this server and I cannot understand why? I have even tried disabling subtitles before playing a movie however this does not make a difference. I am only trying to stream 1080p content which uses 4-10mbps which I should be able to Handle fine as no one else is on the server.

    My aim is to be able to direct play only and not transcode I have a very high spec pc so I know it's not hardware limited.

    Do you think getting a couple of power line would help? Or should a WiFi connect 5ghz 60mbps be able to handle the streams fine remotely?

    Been reading about infuse but would like to get plex working as only paid for a pass recently. Thanks

    Enter text on Apple TV not reliably working

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 01:09 AM PST

    Hey guys, recently my iPhone has not been notifying me instantly when I try to type something in my Apple TV

    Sometimes I need to unlock my phone and wait a few seconds, sometimes it just doesn't come at all for a few minutes

    Anyway to make this more reliable ? Is there a setting I've accidentally changed ? I'm sitting right in front of the tv which is also right next to the router

    How to cast YouTube videos from (desktop) browser to Apple TV app?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 07:25 AM PST

    In the past, I used to be able to add and authorize my desktop browser in the YouTube app settings by navigating to "youtube.com/activate", then entering the TV code that is shown on the Apple TV.

    When I try this now, I'll get an "code not valid" message in the browser. I also noticed that the app now only mentions that this given code should be entered in the mobile app, which I think wasn't mentioned in particularly before.

    Casting from mobile phone works great, I just want to do the same from my Brave browser on the Mac. Is there anyway to bring this functionality back?

    Hong Kong account in India?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 11:48 AM PST

    I'm planning to buy an AppleTV box in Hong Kong, and wish to use it when I go back to India for a few months. My AppleID is based in Hong Kong, and I do not wish to change that. Will I be able to download India specific apps when I'm in India, such as Disney+ Hotstar instead of Disney+, or Zee5, etc?

    Chroma 4:4:4 flickering

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 08:11 AM PST

    Hello all. I have the most recent Apple TV 4K, a Sony STR-DN1080 receiver, and an LG CX OLED TV connected by high speed HDMI cables. When I set the chroma to 4:2:0 everything works fine, including Dolby Vision. When I try to switch the chroma to 4:4:4, there is a noticeable flicker where the screen goes black every 10 seconds or so. I've tried another brand of high speed HDMI cables and the same thing happens. Should I care about this? Thanks!

    Apple TV 4K slow to boot up

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 07:53 AM PST

    So I had a new model Apple TV 4K that I bought straight from the Apple store. When I hit the power button it pretty much immediately booted the tv and changed the input to the Apple TV. After I had that for a week I had a friend sell me his really cheap because he wasn't using it. It's the same 4K model everything is identical but for some reason when I hit the power button on this one it turns on my tv and I have to hit another button on the Apple remote to get the cec to engage and switch the hdmi and everything just take a bit. And particular reason or does anyone have any ideas why?

    Connection advice

    Posted: 08 Feb 2022 02:58 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    What do you think is the best to connect my Apple TV ?

    Apple TV — AVR — Tv Or Apple TV — Tv -(arc)- AVR

    Right now it's connected to the AVR, but the avr switches to arc… doesn't seem the best option.

    Any advice ?

    Apple TV Remote app barely works

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 05:12 PM PST

    Wondering if anyone else has this same issue. When I initially use the app from the command center, I am able to use it just fine.. However, as soon as I back out of it and open it back up again, it will not connect to the Apple TV. I have to wait about 10 mins before it works again.

    Using the updated OS. If it matters, my wife is also connected to the same network but never has that issue.

    Apple TV 4K (1st generation) stuck on AirPlay screen

    Apple TV 4K (1st generation) stuck on AirPlay screen

    Hi all.

    Trying to help a friend out. His ATV won't get past this screen. He lost his remote, so I brought it home and tried to pair it with my remote (ATV HD). The light flashes on his ATV, but nothing happens.

    I'm able to stream to it from idevices or Macs, and have tried everything suggested on this page:

    https://robotpoweredhome.com/apple-tv-stuck-on-airplay-screen/

    Any ideas? TIA!

    PS: It's not "findable" by the ios remote app.

    Whether to buy ATV at this juncture

    Posted: 07 Feb 2022 09:48 PM PST

    Newbie here. I have stereo homepods and an old smart Sony TV. Is it worth buying a new ATV in 2022 to setup the quasi-home-theatre that is ATV + Stereo Homepods or its better to wait until the next ATV is released with A13/A14 chip? Sorry if this question has been asked before. ATV is very expensive where I live (costs $250 USD).
