Apple Releases tvOS 14 With Picture in Picture, 4K YouTube Videos, HomeKit Secure Video Integration and More

[Mageborn23]

Google filters out 4K video when detecting Apple devices. Stupid google

Not true I'm Having the same issue latest version of YouTube. Videos I know for certain are 4K but still max out at 1080p.I have an 11 pro Max

Just a FYI but 4K enabled iOS/iPadOS YouTube app was updated 21 hours ago, version 15.37.4. That has been working for last 4 betas.

However the tvOS Youtube app, is the old 2.04.06 from April 29, 2020 as checked yesterday, doesn't do 4K. So sad, waiting on Google.

Well, they finally fixed backup and sync on Big Sur. Just don’t hold your breath , but they might get to it

My YouTube iOS app is not showing 4k.
Yes I'm on 14.
iPhone 11 Pro Max
Yes apps all updated.

What am I missing?

Try a restart? As it's working on my 11 Pro Max.

Apple also released a 7.6 update for the 3rd generation Apple TV. I can’t find any info on it. The last update listed on Apple.com is 7.5. I posted asking for any info on it here:

I just updated my 3rd Gen TV to 7.6 (8130).

Waiting to see if PIP supports 2 streaming apps - which would let me watch a gme on ESPN and CBS/ABC/YTTV concurrently.

Last update to YouTube was in April. If we’re lucky we’ll have an update by the end of the year.

 

[verniesgarden]

I can’t get mine to see the update. Any suggestions?

Looks like they took out the recording zones for homekit secure video. 😐

Google abandoned Apple TVs.

check the source on the developer menu. Google filters out the 4K version when safari detected

We're talking about the YouTube app, not Safari browser. As far as I'm aware, there is no developer menu for the YouTube app.

How do you get homekit activated? None of my devices are showing up but home hub is showing connected.

So all yesterday 4K worked on my phone then boom today it down not I am going to have to point the blame at google for sure now!!

Wonder if the new atv will feature the A14 chip ( gaming will get a massive upgrade ) , maybe that's why it's taken so long to update ??

 

[RGPphotog]

when I see "atv" I immediately imagine a 4-wheeler. There was confusion for a brief moment.

 

[JMO1]

Really hoping developers adopt PIP. Apple should have made this mandatory for TvOS14

 

[SpiritSoul1008]

Has anyone been able to instant switch to Apple TV? I have the Apple TV HD (Not 4K). Is this feature restricted with my device? Also, I have not been able to connect two sets of AirPods (Pro and 2) to the Apple TV for audio sharing. Is that limited to the Apple TV 4K?

 

[EricNau]

I see only this
Spatial audio for AirPods Pro

Apps tvOS would be something for the future. This was shown at WWDC 2020 airpodsspatialaudio_2_small.jpg

Correct, spatial audio isn’t supported on the Apple TV.

I wish I was surprised, but Apple TV has always been little more than a hobby for Apple. Though, it does sort of boggle the mind that Apple built a “pro” feature primarily for people to watch movies on their phone, all while leaving the TV completely unaddressed.

Perhaps I’m in the minority, but I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie on my iPhone. Maybe an iPad. But I’d really prefer to watch a movie on the TV. Weird, I know.

So for me, this is really one of those features that sounds really cool, but I’ll never actually use once.

 

[Aidan04]

If it’s on the tv itself, how is appletv involved?

I mean on the apple tv itself 🙃
The point is it’s not streaming so it is definitely not internet problem. Before the update it ran fluently, now it’s not 😕
The video settings are the same and it drives me crazy

Same here

My YouTube iOS app is not showing 4k.
Yes I'm on 14.
iPhone 11 Pro Max
Yes apps all updated.

What am I missing?

Same here .... no 4K in YT-App on iPad and iPhone 11, not even on TV4K ... 4k was the only thing I was really looking forward to concerning xOS14

 

[jrhop]

How do you get homekit activated? None of my devices are showing up but home hub is showing connected.

Same here, no Home app and no Home icon in Control Center. Apple TV 4th Gen not 4K version.

 

[MLVC]

How do you get PIP for HomeKit video? I only get the control center or full screen. No clue how to get PIP.

 

[Shanghaichica]

What happened to 4K YouTube videos on the iPad and iPhone?

 

[zenntench_oni]

Currently shown on my iPhone 11 Pro
iOS 14
YouTube version 15.37.4

..currently waiting for Google update it’s YouTube app on the Apple TV 😒

 

[texem]

IOS14 and updated YT app on iPhone XS -> 4K only for HDR videos (check "Peru" etc") here.

non-HDR videos are always maxed to 1080p.

on ATV 4K tvOS14 nothing at all

What the hell is going on ?
