That is what the “QMS” feature of HDMI 2.1 is supposed to fix so in 5 years when most people have compatible hardware it will be less painful.

Trying a different cable has been the solution a frustrating amount of times. HDMI, Ethernet, USB, etc. Especially with the different versions of USB-C. I think changing the HDMI cable solved the 4K issues I was having last summer iirc.

Bought a refub apple tv 4k from apple and as I understand it the remote no longer has the gyroscopes and accelerometer to function as a waggle controller for Arcade+ games. What is the cheapest functional replacement for this feature so I can hand it to a toddler to amuse themselves with it for roughly 2 hours per calendar year? edit: also, for religious reasons, the Xbox One All In One Entertainment Console From Microsoft controller is not an option in this household. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Aug 28, 2022 |

We also noticed that some ads just play the first 1 second or so and then the screen goes black, another ad starts that plays for the same amount of time, screen goes black, then the video we were watching continues. Seems if I were a business advertising on YouTube and my ads were being skipped by the lovely app update I would be a little upset.

the app is borderline useless tbh. it also resets my playback position most of the time, so either you watch a longer video in one go, or you just check it out on desktop instead

Maybe someday if these sideloading laws come to pass we'll get something wild on ATV, like a web browser.

twitch also has basically the same problem where it doesn't save playback position correctly. on top of making it hard to watch vods ... and being unable to use a cursor to navigate instead of using multiples of playback speed is absurd for a service where people can stream six hours or more at a time

I really hope the new ATV drops at the September event and not at the October event. I just moved and I need to buy a new one for a guest room/office and I've been holding out for the new one, but I'm beginning to lose my resolve.

They have enough unsold Homepods lying around to cannibalise for the chips for those.

They don’t do annual refreshes for Apple TV. I’d be shocked if they did release one this year.

there were some rumours about tv sticks, so it wouldn't necessarily be an upgrade i think i lost my remote, and the drat thing is like half the price of a whole apple tv. lose your remote? don't worry, just buy a whole new set-top box u1 chip tracker in the next remote or bust

There were 4 years between the original 4K and the one we have now, so given the current 4K can do 120fps stuff that barely exists right now I wouldn't expect a new ATV box until at least 2025.

We got a minimum 2 more years before a new ATV refresh. The last one was really just to fix the remote anyways. There's nothing the A12 current ATV 4k can't do that an A14 or better could.

Yeah, I should clarify, I'm not at "I won't buy until the new one comes out", I just think that with an Apple event in less than two weeks it couldn't hurt to wait and see if anything new is announced, especially since a theoretical Apple TV Stick would be perfect for me. But if nothing is announced, I'll happily buy the current model and it will also work perfectly.

I'm in the same boat. Got a need for one in the guest room, waiting to see if something is announced though.

I assume you're talking about HomePod and not HomePod mini, right? I have a HomePod Mini that I use with my bedroom projector and it's surprisingly good, at least for idly watching Simpsons and Seinfeld reruns in bed. I was thinking about getting another Mini (or even a pair) for the spare room / office as a step up from the TV speakers (and because I want to put a smart speaker in there anyway). I briefly thought about trying to track down an OG HomePod instead of the Mini, but they're pretty pricey on eBay and I assume not worth the extra expense?

I figure one day they can basically shrink an Apple TV in a stick sized device. For right now though, I don't see them releasing one as a 'budget' Apple TV. If people really want that experience there's plenty of TVs that now work with Airplay. Smart TVs and other appliances have an AppleTV+ app now so they can watch that poo poo, so Apple already has their trojan horse.

Honestly I can’t believe they don’t make a soundbar/appletv combo about the size of a Sonos Beam. Hell even throw a camera on there for FaceTime like has been rumored for years. They could charge $500 for it easy.

OldSenileGuy posted:I assume you're talking about HomePod and not HomePod mini, right? Yeah, the minis aren't great. Better than, like, a lovely logitech with Siri. I rarely use my remote, though-- I mostly just say "hey siri stop/pause/go back 10 seconds/play" or "hey siri increase volume" or whatever. That being said, Siri is not particularly reliable, and it being the main reason to get a homepod mini really never inspired me to check them out.

Anyone got a suggestion for a small stereo speaker set that the appletv can do volume control on? Got a first gen 4k that we're putting in our exercise room, the monitor in there does audio over hdmi but no CEC. So I need "something else" that the appletv can control. It doesn't need to be theater quality or powerful, it just needs to play some videos while working out and have working volume control on the remote. Bluetooth looks like the only option for this setup.. is appletv's bluetooth pretty reliable for audio?

AFAIK the ATV remote can adjust the volume on any device that has an IR sensor. Like it can control the audio on my sound bar or TV. Possibly just get a small sound bar?

Why can’t I cast YouTube TV or YouTube to my Apple TV without first opening the app on my Apple TV. Kind of takes away the convenience of casting. My Rokus and Shield TV both can be casted to at any time, and will even turn on my tv and receiver automatically when doing so. The Apple TV is clearly on all the time as I can Airplay or Screen Mirror to it without turning on my system or opening anything and it will wake up everything.
