Apple Releases iTunes 12.5.4 With 'TV' App and Touch Bar Support

Correct, "TV" is US-only, for now anyway.
About the volume control in iTunes, before I update I need to understand something ... I occasionally use AirPlay output from my Mac's iTunes to multiple AirPort Expresses and/or ATVs, and I control the volume of these devices independently of each other from iTunes. If the volume control in iTunes has been removed, how then would one control the volume of various AirPlay outputs? I can use the Remote app to do this now, but (a) hopefully that has not been affected, and (b) hopefully I can do this at my Mac and not just Remote.
Definitely seems better - it defaults to a log scrub bar when iTunes is in the foreground now - I can't remember what it did before, but it wasn't that.
I also don't remember the play/pause button the Touch Bar being able to play/pause Youtube videos before either. It does now - I know play/pause on the old media controls could never do that, just music apps.
- In the wake of vehement internet criticism, Apple has decided to immediately cease its operations. "The constant beat downs, hurtful comments and ire of a few thousand self entitled forum goers really grinds down the spirit. Time to move on." says Apple CEO Tim Cook. "I haven't been this relaxed for years" says design chief Jonny I've. "Thank god it's over".
Mmm, no. Netflix by itself doesn't give it that status. But the rest of the missing Apps do.
Looking at the list of Apps included in Siri search on AppleTV, I would think (and expect) that to have been the bare minimum that got included in TV App, and its truly a disappointing and half baked feature until it reaches that level.
I am guessing that you have inside knowledge of how the product works (or planned to work in the future) and is very confident that it "cannot possibly work on Mac".
I've seen things done before regardless how skeptical people are. We are living in the age of great technology so I will not shut this down so easily as "cannot possibly work".
But hey, you seem to know more than me. Kudos to you!
Nope - there is an add to up next and an add to playlist - they might have been there before I can't remember - shame there's no edit - id have preferred love and dislike to add to playlist which has too many extra steps to make it useful.
I'm having trouble where none of my videos and home movies are showing up with home sharing.
On the first tap "library" on the top left is a link in blue called library with a down arrow that won't drop down anything when I touch it.
That's all I see on the first tap.

I use the album view and with the new update the is a brief lag between opening iTunes and the Album artwork showing, considering I have a 1TB SSD in my late 2015 iMac I'm surprised, more so because the last version didn't do this, ok not a big deal but it should not even be doing this. In fact since 10.12.2 has come pout my machine feels slower, even taking into consideration re indexing.
I'm surprised how many bugs that I know people have been telling Apple about have not been fixed, even basic ones like after a reboot the time machine hdd icon does not turn green, it stays yellow. I think it only ever went green when I first installed Sierra. It last worked properly way back with Mountain Lion.
Basic GUI glitches like this are a let down and should be simple to fix, and as to the battery/power icon (i use an APC Smart ups on my iMac) now not telling you time remaining, well that's really pathetic. Worse on my old Macbook Pro as the battery is wearing out anyway. You cant just hide your mistakes like this by brushing dirt under the carpet like this.
I used to look at this forum and think it was to hard on Apple sometimes, but sadly with all the glitches and mistakes being made at this price point I'm going to have to consider how long I will stay within Apples ecosystem. Moving on and replacing software and apps isn't going to be cheap option either. Customers can see though the lies and the idiotic form over function hang up that Ive wont let go of. Thin is not in.

I am also getting this error, i have a ticket open with Apple on trying to get fixed. Did you have any luck
Hmmmm. Maybe its only me. I get what they are doing with the TV App, but I think its a very poor example of what it could be. To me, its MORE CONFUSING and more complicated than it should be.
Sadly, iTunes has well and truly discontinued me - nothing works and burning to disc, or e3ven playihgt a CD is a thing of the past as fafr as hI can see.
They keep taking away. I liked having 2 windows open to move music around. I liked a volume control. I liked being able to manually manage my music. I like playing off-line, not using data. I liked having star ratings. I don't like having to download Apple Music from the cloud even though I can still sync with my regular library. Oh and I don't like updates that make the UI worse or are buggy because it's designed for hardware I don't own. Lastly, Apple's and iTune's guided user experience and "Barer by the minute" UI, is growing very tiresome.
It broke shuffle for me. Now shuffle only shuffles certain albums, but a handful of songs actually shuffle. When I toggled the shuffle type from song to album and back again, all songs play in album order. I rolled back to version 12.5.1 and shuffle functionality returned to my list without doing anything else.
Problem occurred just after downloading update and took all of 1 minute to discover it. Feedback sent to Apple many times since release. Many people with same problem on windows and mac. I am now running a rolled back version and will not update any time soon.
I got it to work about a week later after contacting Apple. One thing for sure Apple's customer service is on point, they kept up me all week.
Anyway, the way I got it to work was I plugged my iPad to my iMac and while it was syncing I moved a movie from my iTunes library over to the iPad. After I did that the Library button became active and it now shows home sharing in the drop down.
Home Sharing was working like normal in the music app but not the new TV app which I tried to point out to Apple, that there is a bug there.
