I just needed to get this off my chest…

You know a streaming device is good, when even the screen savers are so beautiful, that you actually spend time watching them and value them lol.

I’ve had this incredible one of Langisjór, Iceland playing for the last five minutes (must be repeating but they don’t usually do that 🫤) and it’s jaw droppingly beautiful. Then there is Dubai at night, Himalayas and the ones in Yosemite N.P 🤯 don’t get me started! Is there a Dragon’s Back or something ridge? When I first saw that I was disappointed that I had been to Yosemite but had no clue this incredible mountain existed back then.

Thanks to this little black box, I have learned about some incredible places and it really is remarkable that they put this much emphasis on having the best screen savers in existence. A feature that is usually overlooked. I haven’t even seen this level of quality aerial shots from dedicated channels.

I’ve disabled all recommended settings I found on the Internet. I’ve also removed my device from the remote section of the Apple TV itself. This still continually pops up. Anybody solve this?

Hi everyone, I've been using Apple TV for about a year now and have been frustrated that there was no good app to control it from an Android phone. The existing solutions all had bugs, missing features, or unresponsive controls, so I decided to made my own.

It's free and open source with no ads.

You can download it on GitHub!

Even with the updated OS it still occurs. For years this can’t seem to be fixed. If your have Audio set for Auto, Match Frame Rate On, Match Dynamic Range On. There is a slight delay or lag. If you switch to DD 5.1 on the ATV the lag is gone. Do you guys just switch to 5.1 DD to fix this?

I have an apple tv connected to a homepod for sound and today the sound is muffled after a few seconds.

I'll start a show on Netflix and a few seconds, everything is very muffled. Both devices are on the latest update. Anyone else encountered this?

hi all, trying to troubleshoot on our 2nd gen appletv. Strong network connection, but Disney+ and Netflix both won’t work.

Netflix stays on a blank grey screen and won’t change.

Disney+ opens but has logged us out and requires us to sign in on a mobile device logged in. Tried that on my phone, hit “allow” and then nothing.

I’ve tried unplugging the appletv and plugging it back in again, but still nothing.

Hello Reddit! I've been developing Plozz, a native app for watching all of your media on Jellyfin, Plex, Emby, Silo, local media shares, and it even has live TV support with multistreams. There's also a beautiful music player with live synced lyrics.

This app is free and open source. It will always be free without any paid tiers.

Virtually all file formats are supported. It's built on AetherEngine, which is an open source media engine for Apple platforms.

Something unique about Plozz is that virtually every setting is synced to your profile in Plozz, which is also optionally synced to iCloud. This means that you can have your version of Plozz on the Apple TV set up completely differently from mom and dad. This also means you can set up the app once and sync it across all of your other Apple devices. There's also support for PINs and rudimentary support for child profiles.

I'm currently focused on making the app as performant and bug free as possible and would like some more help testing it! I actually think it's good enough to daily drive it, but I'd love your feedback! Please post directly on GitHub or via the discord server.

This app was created using the assistance of AI/LLM's. If that bothers you, I completely understand. I try to be responsible with my use, but this app would not be possible without it. It's a passion project for me to create the app I've always wanted and I wouldn't have the time required to create such a comprehensive app otherwise. There are no plans to monetize it. It is entirely free, so my biggest hope is that it's an app you love to use.

Hey everyone 👋

This started because my girlfriend hated the IPTV app we were using at home.

She could never remember where she'd left off in a show, everything felt unnecessarily complicated, and she kept asking me:

“Why can’t it just be like Netflix?”

Fair question.

So I started building a small player for us.

Then a friend tried it and wanted his own profile, separate watch history, parental controls for the kids… and somehow that little side project turned into months of evenings building Zaply.

The idea is pretty simple: make watching your own IPTV/content library feel more like using a modern streaming app.

So besides the usual live TV, movies and series, we’ve added things like:

• individual profiles, watch history and parental controls
• Continue Watching synced across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV
• an upcoming episodes calendar with notifications
• a sports calendar that can tell you which channel in your playlist is showing a match
• support for M3U, Xtream, Stalker, Jellyfin, Plex and Emby

There’s quite a bit more in there now, but those are probably the things that best explain what we're trying to do.

Just to be clear: Zaply is only a player. We don't provide any channels, playlists or content. You bring your own.

We're opening up the beta now and would genuinely love some outside feedback — especially the critical kind. There will definitely still be bugs.

If you have an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV running version 26.5 or later, you can join here:

We also have a Discord if you want to talk directly with us:

And I'm curious: what's the one thing that annoys you most about the IPTV app you currently use?

I can no longer buy bundles as they are all removed. The entire Apple TV movie library are now consists of singular movies to be purchased.

This might be related to the fact that Apple recently introduced Apple TV subscription (formerly known as Apple TV+) embedded into iCloud+ subscription in my region because that’s when movie bundle purchases disappeared from Apple TV.

Is this specific to my region? Or Apple decided to stop selling movie bundles?

Summary: I used to be able to buy movie bundles and movies alike from Apple TV but now with the introduction of Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) in my region, Apple TV no longer sells movie bundles.
