Latest beta ignore Siri Remotes?

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?

Paused Video Starts Playing On It’s Own When Screensaver Starts

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.

Major YouTube Issues with 18.1

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?

iCloud Screensaver Photos

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?

Does today’s beta tvOS 18.1 fix 5.1 audio?

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!

18.1 beta, Ethernet not working

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?

Boost Mode for enhanced dialogue not working on release candidate

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.

Enhance Dialogue w/ Samsung soundbar

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.

Does anyone not have portrait mode for screensavers?

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.

Swiping up on screen savers doesn’t do anything

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

What is the most current version of tvOS Public Beta? Did it FUBAR my HomeKit environment?

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.

No Dolby Digital 5.1 Help!

Would anyone have any ideas on this. I’m using the second most up to date hardware. I’m on beta software. Anything I watch using any app, Netflix, Disney, Prime, or purchased movies are all 2.0 pcm. my Sonos arc seems fine as the infuse app is delivering 5.1 strangely. Also my tvs built in apps will also deliver 5.1.

No way to slow down photo screensavers?

The screensaver function in tvos beta 18 lost the ability to specify how many seconds a photo dwells on the screen before it flips to a new one.

Do you think this ability has been eliminated in tvos 18, or is it they just haven’t added it in yet?

21:9 isn’t here yet

Was excited when I went to settings and saw 2560 x 1080 listed as a format however it isn’t actually doing anything other than stretching the 16:9 content to fill the screen. Still finding it better to run in 16:9 and cropping in whenever watching 21:9 content.

P.S. very disappointed that MacRumors has listed 21:9 support as a feature since at least 2 weeks ago. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/07/23/apple-seeds-tvos-18-beta-4/
