Happy to be in the "Big" 32 club. I just hope I can handle the touch remote.

Will Plex help me watch all the juicy (and legal) content I have stored on my computers? Without the delay ufarn is talking about? Or will I have to find some other solution for that kind of behaviour?

The touch remote wasn't as bad as I feared, in fact it works great thus far IMO. My mind hasn't adjusted to the new homescreen yet, though.

I can use the touch remote to adjust volume on the receiver, but it (and the TV) won't shut down when I turn off the Apple TV. Am I missing something?

The keyboard is starting to piss me off. What kind of idiot thought that was a good layout?

Any trip reports on how Plex handles different file types?
Seems to mostly work great here, but I haven't done a comparative study. I can't fast-forward on some files though. I'll see if I can spot a system...

Is there a trick to scrubbing through a video in plex? I can't get it to work with either remote. My harmony remote just takes me back to the menu when I do ffw or rwd. The new atv remote won't let me slide around at all. Just pauses, moves the cursor, the snaps back to where it was when I started moving it.
I have the same problem on some videos, others will let me scrub away. Not sure why that is, but it might have something to do with file types?

I've had some problems, but not the ones you're talking about. Here the biggest problem is that Spotify often doesn't seem to find the ATV's Airplay. However, I can Airplay by swiping up and using the "universal airplaying" option.

What's this annoying "pre-home screen" screen that suddenly has shown up on my Apple TV and how do I disable it? It's the iTunes store perhaps, but I quickly tap the home button again to get away from it, so I'm not completely sure.

EDIT: I just checked an apparently you can airplay from an iPhone currently playing Spotify so I guess that works well enough. Still would be nice to get desktop airplay or even a native app.
That’s still not perfect for me. It works better when I’m airplaying from my iPhone or iPad than the Mac, for some reason. Still though, I get the occasional hiccups and they are very irritating.

Visited a friend yesterday and the neighbour apparently had an Apple TV that they searched a lot on. Every time they did a search I got a popup on my iphone to type in the search. Isn't that a bit strange? I wasn't connected to a network and I definitely haven't been connected to that Apple TV before.

YouTube has always been pretty poo poo but now the play/pause button doesn’t play/pause anymore?! Or is it just me?

If you could download YouTube videos that would be cool

Wishful thinking I know
Why would you want to download YouTube videos to your Apple TV? Genuinely curious.

My Apple TV (the first of the “new” ones, the one that came before the HD version) and/or remote has been behaving strangely lately. It also controls a receiver that is connected to speakers.

The other day a loud video came on that needed some adjusting, so I tried to decrease the volume with the remote. However, that increased the volume and there was no way to decrease it. Eventually I had to manually turn off the receiver and reboot the Apple TV. That solved the bonkers volume bug but now the sensitivity on the touch pad seems somewhat off. I don’t know how to explain it, but something’s wonky somewhere.

Do you have any theories?

I’ve got an Apple TV HD that loses its WiFi connection whenever I wake it up. I have to restart it to get the connection to work. It’s been happening every day the last week or two.

Any ideas?

I have to go into system and use the restart feature that takes a few minutes every time. Slightly annoying.


Edit: updating to tvOS 17 solved the problem 🙌

Edit 2: it did not 😡
