The real reason for this just dawned on me. Apple is launching a streaming video service. They want that poo poo on as many devices as possible.

So for the most part, apps are cooperating with SSO which is nice. Is there a way to see some sort of list of all the shows I have in my 'Up Next' I want to prune it but I can't really find a efficient way to do this.

Supporting console controllers is a good thing for them when MS/Sony go all-in on their streaming services as well.

Vince MechMahon posted:So PS4 controllers work now. But Steam Link requires you setup a controller in the app. But the Apple TV already reads inputs from the controller as soon as you sync it. So you literally can't set it up because when it tells you to setup the B button, O on the PS4 app, it reads that as you pressing what TV OS has mapped as the menu button on the controller. So it takes you back. Great job, guys, everyone involved really knocked this one out of the park. You did submit a bug report, right? That is what a beta is for after all.

Public betas ARE dev betas, just a build or two behind. It's quite possible that poo poo's working on the latest dev build.

Minidust posted:I saw an older Apple TV+ graphic that showed HGTV, Fox, NBC and a couple of other standard Networks. Are those still gonna be a thing? Or maybe that was just referring to Apple TV (the box) and all the apps that are available? This branding might get confusing lol. There's two possibilities: -An old fan made image from when Apple WAS working to develop an OTT service like Directv Now or Sling -A reference to the new TV / Channels thing.

How do profiles work? Do I have to re-download and setup apps in that profile? Like if I have Netflix already setup on the main one, does it need to be done over again on the newly created profile?

Big Huski Boi posted:Given that the #1 or #2 complaint people have about the Apple TV is the cost, and most analyses have them selling it at or near cost, and even after a couple years it's still providing a far faster/smoother experience than the competition...is this really necessary? Yeah it depends on the scenario. If the ATV 4K is the only thing being made with that SOC, it gets cheaper to drop it for a refresh with a current SOC that's being made in larger quantities already. It's also possible they want something more energy and heat efficient to get rid of the fan in the current model.

MarcusSA posted:This is annoying and frustrating and I guess I can’t google correctly on how to fix it. Did you subscribe through the Apple TV channels? https://9to5mac.com/2020/05/27/hbo-now-leaves-apple-tv-channels/ That could be the issue or related. My guess would be you'd have to unsubscribe to it on your Apple account and just sub to it right through HBO.

MarcusSA posted:Yeah I did. Here's the thing, and it sucks and is confusing. Signing up for a service through the Apple TV Channels is not necessarily the same through signing up through iTunes (and vice versa). For example, I signed up for Shudder through iTunes on the iOS Shudder app. I can download the ATV Shudder app, hit restore purchase, and it will work. However, I cannot use the ATV Channels thing to watch Shudder. So, if I understand you and that article correctly, it's not working because HBO's Channels thing is done. If you signed up through it, you can still watch HBO Go/Now but no Max. I bet (but you can try it) if you downloaded HBO Now and hit restore purchase, it won't work either. If you signed up through iTunes, like using the HBO Now app, you would have been upgraded. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Jun 1, 2020 |

Yes this is exactly how it is supposed to work. smackfu posted:Apple explicitly sent an email saying HBO Apple TV channel subscribers would have access to HBO Max last month.

As far as I'm aware the VP9 stuff isn't coming until the next batch of operating systems later this year. From what your'e describing that sounds more like something with Plex.

qirex posted:To integrate with the TV app your platform’s viewing metrics get recorded by Apple and Netflix will not abide by that. It is dumb and bad and I’m getting to the point where Netflix will go on my “sign up for a couple months at a time to catch up” app rotation. It’s the most expensive service of all of them and I don’t use it as much. Same. I went months without using it but the mrs still does so I gotta keep it. Part of it is the impact of the content providers rolling their own platform, but a lot of is the Netflix 'originals' themselves aren't that great for the most part.

qirex posted:That's pretty slick. It's kind of a shame Apple will never make a television because it seems like they have standing solutions to a lot of the problems TVs have. IIRC, aren't a lot of TV's sold on razor thin margins? That would definitely make them not want to get into that game. edit: I know for myself that if they made a TV where 'everything worked' like MacOS and iOS, I'd be down for it, but I feel it would be a niche product for most consumers, even people who may already use iPhones and MacBooks.

There's a .00001% chance of an M1 SOC in an Apple TV. That's overkill for Apple TV and would drive up the price. If you want something like that, buy a Mac mini and hook it up to your TV. This would also solve your Xbox Game Pass problem. I realllllly don't think Xbox Game Pass will come to Apple TV as an app for multiple reasons. Maybe one day Safari would come to ATV but I doubt it. It's the same song and dance every couple years from them. They'll do something to indicate they're serious about gaming and nothing ever comes from it.
