please do your own testing.

I have multiple models of apple tv 4k 2019 gen 1, 2021 gen 2, 2022 gen 3

Homepod gen 1 stereo and homepod mini stereo pair sound correct when paired with gen 1 and gen 2 set to default atv output.

when paired to gen 3 there is serious audio quality downgrade like the audio is not being decoded properly. Highs and Lows are all off. It is VERY noticeble.

All devices on latest tvOS and audioOS, it happens on both beta and official releases.

poor audio quality on gen 3 paired homepods was always present since day 1 but only became clear recently when I started switching back and forth between different gen appletvs.

I want to get more feedback before posting on the main appletv sub, you guys are welcome to post it there

Since upgrading to this beta release my whole HomeKit setup has become randomly unstable, particularly with HomePods thinking they aren’t connected to the WiFi network (they are!) and Matter devices are laggy as Hell, if working at all.

Absolutely doing my head in!

Got this finally with today’s 18.2 update

In the immortal words of Stan Lee: “nuff said”

I couldn’t find any information on it. It would seem every device with 18.2 gets it but now I’m unsure.

Title says all

I’m a 21:9 guy and always lookout out for passthrough. Any word?

Since two days ago my Apple TV 4K which runs the latest tvOS beta cannot see any Siri Remotes anymore. I was at the Genius Bar and they tested my own remote and also my Apple TV with their remotes. It’s not the remote, it’s my Apple TV. Since nothing else changed, I deduce that the only cause left must be the latest beta. Note that this is the $1 development Apple TV that was purchasable by developers.

Anyone else have the same problem?

I want snoopy

Title has the question.

I'm on tvOS latest dev beta, and this shit keeps happening for the last few weeks. Maybe more, but I just noticed it later. I don’t know. This is annoying me as hell.

Edit: Okay, there is an update. Apple has reached me. They asked which app I have this issue in. It was YouTube, but since they have asked, I tried on two different media apps as well. None of them had this issue. It seems this bug is because of YouTube or special to the YouTube app. Sorry, Apple.

Edit 2: Hi guys. This bug has resolved now. I contacted both Apple and Youtube about this bug. They both did not gave me a final answer. (Youtube never answered) But I think this was because of YouTube and not tvOS. Since other media apps have not suffered this bug. Anyway, thanks to the guy who solved this.

The only issue I have with 18.1 is YouTube. Videos often start 3/4 of the way in, sometimes they don't play at all, sometimes they start for a second and then quit and the progress bar shows it fully played. I have removed and reinstalled the YouTube app and still happening. Any thoughts?

Has anyone else had this problem? I have other Apple TVs in the house that show my iCloud screensavers, but my ATV 4K just won’t do it. Anyone else have the same bug on dev beta?

I’ve been going crazy getting only stereo pcm from my Apple TV (except from YouTube and infuse), and I can’t update it yet as I’m not home for a few days. Has anyone had success with a fix yet? Thanks!

I can’t update, I receive error message. On macOS is method to disable find my Mac and it’s working. Maybe someone know how to update Apple TV

The title says it all, I've been using the ethernet interface for ages, installed yesterday's update, and now playback, etc. will not work, so I switched back to wifi, which works fine. I did report this via feedback. Any thoughts?

Has anyone seen a situation where boost mode only appears when you restart the Apple TV but then disappears as soon as you navigate away from it in the settings menu. I use my Apple TV with two second GEN HomePods in stereo pair. I have attached a video that shows the issue. Thanks for the help!

Boost mode disappears when navigating away from settings following a restart of the Apple TV.

Is the portrait screensaver only available for newere models of apple TV? I have 3rd gen 4k, have just updated to tvos18 and no portrait screensaver :(

Interested to read about your experiences/findings. Here's mine:

I was under the impression that Netflix isn't supported for this tvOS 18 feature, but since it does appear on the player control I tested it anyway...

My setup:

• latest ATV4K (w/ Thread support)
• 2023 Samsung soundbar (Dolby Atmos confirmed via tvOS) also has its voice enhancement feature.

For Netflix, only the isolation option is giving me noticible difference...

For ATV+, all options seem to get their respective effects.

Conclusion: my soundbar's voice enhancement feature is much better in boosting dialogue... So I've turned off ATV's.

The tvOS 18 (22J357) can now be downloaded for the public

Whenever I swipe up on the screensaver, it does nothing like it used to. I can’t pick between styles anymore. Is there a fix or something I’m doing wrong? I’m on 18.0 RC.

I just installed the Developer RC but still no Portrait Screen Saver available. Anybody have it ?

the number is 22J6357

Shows Beta 8 has 21:9 support, don’t see it in any of the menus/settings. Just updated few minutes ago. Anyone else?

Hi, I’ve installed tvOS 18 public beta a few days ago and when I’m trying to pull up from the screen savers nothings works. Moreover I don’t have portrait available in the settings, even tho in the photos app I have portraits memories. Is it normal or I need to report it?

I have Apple TV 4K 1st gen with the original Siri Remote, I live in the Middle East and I’m on the latest public beta

I have 22J5346a. I'm not sure when this installed, but recently most of the devices (about 100) now get the dreaded "no "Updating..." and "No response" problem.
