Cult of Mac has a sorta review (they call it a review anyway). App Store doesn't seem available yet (read: no Plex). http://www.cultofmac.com/393941/4th-generation-apple-tv-review/ Remember that you should be able to combine Discover's Apple Pay bonus if you buy in store. Not sure if BestBuy supports Apple Pay yet.

At least he included a section on the screen saver!

Plenty in stock at the BestBuy in my town, despite what their website says. In case you have some BestBuy bucks sitting around and you want to try this thing out. ApplePay worked fine there too.

You don't need a super powerful NAS to do transcoding. Anything with an i3 should be more than enough for multiple streams. I built one starting from a TS140 plus hard drives for a little more than $500. That's definitely more than the little Synology or WD boxes though.Henrik Zetterberg posted:Any trip reports on how Plex handles different file types? My Fire Stick has similar issues as well. I really have to think it's the low power of the Fire Stick that's the cause. I would switch to Plex on my PS4 and the problems would go away.

Whitezombi posted:Amazon Video app did not work at all. Did I miss this getting released? Or do you mean using AirPlay to stream the Amazon Video app from your phone to the Apple TV?

Cornjob posted:Goons, which model ATV4 are you getting? I doubt ill be doing anything more than plex, netflix, hbogo and a few other streaming apps. Does anyone know if AirPlay creates an ad hoc network between the AppleTV and an iPhone/iPad? If so, you could sync to your phone, and AirPlay to your AppleTV without worrying about internet conditions. I don't think you can sync to the AppleTV, but maybe I missed that setting somewhere.

milkaxor posted:Is there any way to shuffle user-created playlists in the music app? I only seem to be able to do that with AM playlists. Hoping 9.1 fixes this. I see a Shuffle option as the first option (before the first individual track) on Apple Music, Curator, and personal playlists. Are user-created playlists different?

Has anyone used the new AppleTV with a Harmony? BestBuy has the Harmony 700 on sale for Black Friday and I'm curious about how they play together.

The keyboard stuff is dumb, but if I have to enter more than a few character, I just use the Remote app and it's been fine. But it's just a glorified Plex and Macbook mirroring tool for me so far. I hope Sling TV or PS Vue apps come out for it soon.

My experience with Provenance and an MFi controller was just enough of an input delay to make it not fun for platformers. The thread on Provenance's project page shows that it's pretty widespread. Maybe it's better with the latest tvOS update.

MacRumors says the Amazon Prime Video app is up now. I'm too lazy to check myself. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/12/06/amazon-prime-video-app-launches-on-apple-tv/

Minidust posted:The "TV" app is explicitly for on-demand stuff, so it doesn't really interact with live TV services in any meaningful way. I'm not sure if this is true now. Maybe it's an iOS only feature, but the TV on the phone now includes a Sports tab that works with apps like ESPN to stream live sports.

Hey Siri works pretty well when you're not sure what service carries specific movies for free, rental, or purchase. During Christmas I used it to watch stuff like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Freeform app) and it worked well.

360 controllers were still using a proprietary communications format I think right? Where as PS4 and the newer XBONE ones all use Bluetooth.

I can't for the life of me get the new remote's scroll forward/backward to work. I even watched a video. I'm holding it wrong?

Looks like that update is already on the tvOS app store. Just in time for the season finale of Hacks.

My Pros are great except they tend to slowly wiggle out of my ears, especially if I'm eating or talking with them in. My AirPods Regular never had did this, and it's surprising considering the more custom fit of the Pros. Oh well.

If you have an extra black Apple TV 4th gen remote lying around and feel like taking a risk, you can sell them for about $30 eBay. Apple pricing the new one at $60 helped the secondary market for the old one I guess.

My 3 year old can turn the tv off with the new remote upstairs, not with the old remote downstairs. New remote better.

Do you use a separate YouTube/Google account or your normal one?
