My wishlist for the new ATV, in no particular order:
Each of these have varying levels of inevitability, ranging from "definitely happening at some point" to "not gonna happen, but I want it anyway."

OK if we're going to play this game:
To be honest I feel like 90% of my non-app requests are "must fix" items, or "no brainer" items that they could fix easily. Siri remoting and selective CEC would be the only ones that are iffy. Any App specific wishes I'm not really worried about since it's likely that SOMEONE will put something together, even if I have to sideload it.

I was gonna include this on my wishlist too, but opted not to because it's just not gonna happen. Apple is probably banking on iTunes results in Siri searches increasing their sales numbers, and it's probably gonna work, too.

Wellll, yeah that's true, but that's why it's my WISH list  I'm really optimistic about the future. I'd go so far as to say that on day one I was really displeased with ATV4 but now that I have NHL I'm happier, and once Plex comes out of approvals I'll finally be able to punt my Roku.

Hockeystreams will never happen. They're likely already dead anyway, but even so they're illegal and the app store is somewhere the NHL can actually do something about it.

There's no webView in the tvOS SDK (IIRC) so it may be difficult, but I wouldn't put it past someone to make a hockeystreams client for sideloading.

Mahoning posted:I'm having a problem with my ATV turning my television back on after I've powered everything down for the night. Twice now I've gone to bed, gone to the bathroom and noticed a light coming from downstairs, only to go down and realize the tv is back on. Are you Airplaying to it? I noticed this morning that when I powered up my laptop and downloaded a media file for iTunes to play, it defaulted to it's last setup ... which was to airplay the audio to the home theater. So ATV, TV, Receiver... everything powered up and poo poo started rocking. It was kinda cool, kind of annoying.

Seems like new ATV still isn't putting out Dolby Digital Plus. Which is especially annoying, because I doubt in a blind test I could tell the difference between regular Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, yet still not having it when I know I could have it on another box (TiVo Roamio OTA) is annoying.

Okay for like months now, my Apple TV (3) hasn't been able to see my content on my computer. iTunes says home sharing is on but the Apple TV and the remote app on my phone just can't see it. It's really annoying because 99% of what I use the thing for is streaming. I'm almost ready to just replace it with a chromecast (we have one on the upstairs tv and it works great w/ plex) I've tried every solution I can google. I got it work a couple times briefly but it always goes back to not working. Anyone have any advice?

Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but I was once on the verge of returning my PS4 when it repeatedly failed to sign into Netflix even when I knew my password was definitely correct. Turned out that I had registered using my gmail address, but was trying to sign in using my iCloud address. Took me two days to realise.

Yeah, one of the first suggestions everywhere is to sign it and back out again, so thats usually what I try first. Its really frustrating because it worked great for years, I've had 1,2 and 3 ATV and until recently loved them all.

Weird. I had an issue after moving from 7 to 8 where I couldn't get my Home Share to play. I had to downgrade back to 7 to get it working again. (FYI, moving to 10 hasn't yet caused the issue). The only other thing I can think of is to try uninstalling iTunes completely and rebuilding your library from scratch. (Assuming you've tried everything else on the Apple Support forums like renaming your computer/itunes library, router stuff, etc).

Can somebody explain why the touch input is the opposite of every other device on the planet? I guess you're supposed to think you're moving a cursor with it instead of the content but it's still really weird. Also not being able to search for music with siri is some seriously weak poo poo. The interface looks kind of boring, too. Other than these few complaints this thing is pretty cool. My apple music stuff is right there, so are my photos. Set up is piss easy. This "hold your phone here and it works" is some serious magic. Netflix app works great. Probably gonna play the frogger thing from the app store tonight. It is also really cool how it controls the volume of my tv via IR. Also a screensaver came on as I was typing this and it looks loving fantastic. I've been staring at it for five minutes straight. Edit: How do I turn it off ? Am I supposed to wait for the auto shut off? Edit 2: Oh, just hold the home button. coke zero mit mayo fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Nov 2, 2015 |

reboot that ATV3 too. There were a flurry of failures back in July/August after an Itunes update but it eventually was fixed so maybe check itunes for updates as well. In other news: I'm probably not going for ATV4 and will probably just go for a Roku 4 to replace my ATV3 so I can get Amzn Video/Netflix and just Plex music. I have an android phone now so no more air playing Amzn videos to my tv so I need Amzn videos to be available another way. For some reason air play sucks from my Macbook Air laptop so I never use it.

Because "natural scrolling" is loving terrible on anything but a touch screen and anyone who doesn't turn it off immediately on anything but a phone and a tablet is just doing it wrong. You're not moving the content, you're moving the highlight square around the TV. It would make even less sense than it does on laptops and such here.

I'm getting some HDMI audio weirdness, too. Setting the Surround Sound option to auto appears to get me multi channel PCM, but setting it to Dolby Surround seems to get me DD 5.1.

Now that I'm used to natural scrolling, swiping up to move the content down seems bizarre. It's one of those things like Pogs we'll look back on in bewilderment. The Apple TV makes sense because you're moving a selection cursor. It's like swiping a Mac trackpad left to move the mouse cursor left.

Man that new Netflix UI is bad, I hope whoever decided "let's make the hero image permanently take up 2/3 of the screen and remove related titles and actor/director info" is in trouble right now. Good news: the CEC works perfectly, input switching, power on, power off and volume control. Bad news: I'm probably stuck streaming Amazon from my ipad or on my PS4, aren't I?

Unless Amazon sucks it up, pretty much. I got a FireTV Stick when they were on sale for $20, so I at least have that as an option, but I get not wanting another device. (Plus you have the PS4, so that's kinda pointless, anyway.)

Now that Plex is available, I'm interested in hooking up a large drive to a Mac Mini and then plugging it in via Ethernet cable to my network. Of the current models available, what's the one that I need? Hopefully not the one that's $1000 -- just something that will play 1080p streams to the AppleTV with no hiccups.

This has been my basic setup for years, except instead of Plex I just used iTunes & Home Sharing to get the media to ATV. Now that Plex is native, I was thinking about switching over, but my Mac Mini is so old that Plex Server won't run on it. I'm not sure what my other options are, besides dropping $400+ on a newer used Mac Mini. I know I could build a PC based box for cheaper, but my whole media drive and all backups are HFS, so that seems like it'd be a huge pain.

Cross posting from the TV thread, but I want to get a new Vizio 50" and it's clear it supports controlling of OTHER devices via CEC, but doesn't say whether IT can be controlled by a CEC device. Anyone know how to tell? I'd like to make sure I get a TV that the Apple TV can turn on and off.
