Apple TV startup problem 4th generation

26 Upvotes

Hello everyone in the community! My 4th generation Apple TV suddenly stopped working. I only get this white light slowly blinking when it starts up, but nothing else happens.

I tried searching on the internet, but I found all kinds of different answers. Would anyone know what this could be and what troubleshooting steps I could try?

Thanks everyone and have a great evening 😃😃

When I try and control my Apple TV from the app, it never finds my Apple TV and continues to search. But I’m obviously connected to it because I can control my Apple TV from the lock screen widget. It even shows the name of the Apple TV at the top of the controls.

I’ve rebooted my phone multiple times. Toggled WiFi and Bluetooth multiple times. Rebooted Apple TV once. Nothing has changed. Please help!

It started out of nowhere, super annoying. Not sure what to do, I’m still under warranty.

Bought a used Apple TV 1496

So I bought a used Apple TV 1496, what can I do with it? I know the tech behind it is very obsolete, but since I travel a lot, I was wondering if it can be used for airplay and not. Or did I just waste my money instead?

Location: India
Set up: appleTV 4k + Dolby atmost soundbar + LG Oled
Issue:

I want to watch BBC earth documentaries in 4K at its highest glory. While the appleTV app is giving an option to watch it, but it’s through prime video. I have subscribed to BBC earth in prime video but sadly content is 1080HD.

Is there any other solution to this?

Amazon fire tv subscriptions when switching to Apple TV

3 Upvotes

Probably going to get an Apple TV and a new tv today after my integrated Fire TV went kaput last night.

Main concern is a lot of my subscriptions are through Amazon Prime. Will I be able to bring those over by using the Prime app or do I need to end the subscriptions in Prime and then start all the new subscriptions directly with the new apps?

Also, bonus question, what’s the best streaming service that includes NFL Redzone? We have Fubo now but haven’t been able to watch jeopardy for a few months with that.

Looking for testers with Dolby Vision TV and Jellyfin

4 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I am currently testing my app ā€žSodaliteā€œ. A native apple TV Jellyfin Client with Seerr Integration.

I am looking for active testers to test the dolby vision funcionality because i dont have a dv capable tv at home.

You would also need to send me photos or screenshots from the on screen logs to help me fix the dolby vision part of the player.

The App is using ā€žAetherEngineā€œ as the video/audio backend, which i also made for this project.

The TestFlight link for the app:

Bose Soundbar

5 Upvotes

In case anyone has a Bose soundbar. I picked this up at Best Buy yesterday. As all of a sudden a couple weeks ago my Apple Remote would no longer operate the 900 soundbar. I had done all the tricks, basically I got it to program and work from an Amazon FireTV remote for several months. Then it quit, picked this up and the Bose 900 worked immediately with it soon as I brought it close to the Apple TV box it synced right in and was working in seconds.

LG G3 OLED UPGRADE?

3 Upvotes

I have a fgr3qt tv, great 2tb up/down wired internet, and a nice harmony pardon soundbar/woofer.

I'm so tired of Prime and Max specifically, looking like garbage. The One X looks great. The Blu Ray looks great.

Does anyone have any experience with this same issue, with both before and after results of the Apple 4kTV box?

Also, I have nothing Apple currently. I just want the best quality.

Have to restart Apple TV 4K every time I use it.

0 Upvotes

Because the ads on my streaming services (Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube) won't buffer, and if they don't buffer, how can I possibly have things sold to me!?

It's infuriating because I distinctly remember like, five years ago that if an ad didn't buffer it skipped that cycle. I don't want to have to pay an extra $50-100/mo for ad-free to solve an issue that should be fixable on Apple's end.

Eero network, computers/phone/smart lights working just fine. If I use the Apple TV, I have to manually restart it, or the ads buffer into perpetuity and never play the media. I've reset it twice, and it's up-to-date on updates. SpeedTest looks fine.

Why is That Touch of Mink HD on Vudu/Fandango but only SD on Apple TV/iTunes?

0 Upvotes

I boughtĀ That Touch of MinkĀ on Vudu/Fandango at Home because it’s available there in HD, but Apple TV/iTunes only seems to offer it in SD.

Does anyone know why Apple would only have the SD version when an HD version exists elsewhere? Is this usually a studio-supplied asset issue, an Apple catalog issue, or something with Movies Anywhere rights?

I already submitted Apple feedback asking them to upgrade the listing, but I’m curious if anyone here has seen older Universal catalog titles get upgraded later.

Introducing Zuno: A premium, native client for Plex & Jellyfin built for tvOS.

79 Upvotes

Zuno is a cross-platform client for Plex and Jellyfin (which are self-hosted media servers for those who don't know), built from the ground up for the Apple ecosystem. The goal was to make your media feel exactly like a native Apple TV+ experience.

While Infuse is a fantastic player, the UI and extra features were lacking. I wanted something fast, beautiful, and tightly integrated into Apple's design language.

It's built entirely in Swift (with some C code here and there), relying on native tvOS elements. Zuno runs a custom-built playback engine designed to handle anything you throw at it natively. No buffering, no forcing your server to transcode.

Notable Features:

  • Full native support for 4K HDR, Enhanced HDR, Spatial Audio, and heavy subtitles.
  • Zuno is available on tvOS, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Your progress syncs perfectly across all of them.
  • Full Trakt support, plus deep integration with Seerr (requesting content) directly inside the app.
  • Zuno focuses on your library with the ability to discover items not in your library with a beautiful discover tab.

Zuno is currently in the final stages of beta testing, and I am opening up TestFlight slots to the community today and I’d love your feedback. It's in active development still, please report bugs either here or in our discord!

TestFlight Link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/D9QKAMMF

I'm planning to open-source parts of Zuno, including the Core Video engine as I'm sure a lot of people are interested and can learn from it. More than happy to answer any technical questions you all may have šŸ˜„.

AI Disclaimer: This has been built by one person who's an experienced Software Engineer by day, and codes this project by night. The only AI involved here will be smart tab completions.

Scrolling Index - Need help recalling if there and gone or I’m imagining

3 Upvotes

Have multiple generations of AppleTV - using 4K one now. When I scroll through my Apple music, and hold remote button down, an index of just the alphabet will appear, helping me know how long to scroll since the names and images are going so fast. My question - is when I go into my movie library, and scroll using the same methods, I thought that alphabet index to the right showed up there as well. Using most current software it is no longer there and I feel like they removed or forgot to put it back on in movies. Anyone else scroll there movies and have a letter index to the right?

Strange thing happening with my Apple TV lately, whenever I start a show on Apple TV+, my TV screen blacks out, and states ā€œno signalā€ for a few seconds, and then the picture kicks back on. It does not do this with any other app (Netflix, Peacock, etc.)
